Happy & Sad News
One of our bunnies sadly had to be put down this AM,& I've kind of been in a funk all day. She was taken in by us, pregnant, 2 years ago & was a great bunny. So sad she's gone.On the happy end, one of 3 rescues we took in, late March, gave us a surprise litter of 3, two days ago on Easter Sunday.
We had no idea she was pregnant.
We keep babies in our sanctuary & girls stay with mom & when boys are old enough are off to the vet for neutering.

No the one that was pregnant 2 years ago is the one that was put down. She was pregnant once back then. Her name was Valerie.This one that just had 3 babies is Louise & we adopted her 3 weeks ago. Bunnies are pregnant for a month approx so something happened at the shelter a week before we got her.
Hope that explains things.

Love Bunnies and miss not having one but I found the hay gave me hay fever and I had it 12 months of the year, I kept them in the houseand they just went in and out of the kitchen door into the garden
so were free but slept inside
Glad you have some new ones to think of and love. Sorry
for Valerie.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine who adopted 2 bunnies from a rescue last year. 2 days after she had them one gave birth, I believe she had 5 if I remember right.
She phoned the rescue and told them and they denied it at first, said it was impossible because they had "been done", but eventually decided the buck "must have slipped through the net" when the vet visited to see to them all. They also offered to neuter the babies for free if my friend took them back later, but she didn't, she had them done by her won vet when they were old enough.
