Rabbits, Rabbits, and more bunnies??

Last week we received a phone call that a friend of ours,

who knew that we had considered raising rabbits,

was selling their rabbits, hutches, watering pails,

remaining feed, and brooding boxes...and wondered

if we would be interested in purchasing them.

Well??? 

OF COURSE WE WERE!!! 



So we loaded up the van to check out the hutches

and rabbits, and before leaving we

paid the owner the asking price.

Two days later--we are making another

trip to pick up 'our purchase'. 

The guys worked very diligently to prepare the area

 that they the rabbits/bunnies would call their

'new home'.  As we left, we left

one doe that due to have bunnies due to the stress

of moving them to be too much. 

Today?

We returned to the owner's house to collect the

doe that was due and her new

bunnies. 

The whole family...

They are so sweet and so little.

So what is the purpose of adding this to our

'homestead' you may be asking yourself...

As cute as they are they will soon be

nourishment.  Mostly they will

be nourishing the dogs, but I am hoping to

expose my children and family to some

RABBIT STEW!

We will let you know how that goes... :)

Doe "mommy #3" had babies.  If you look
real close you can see a pink "shade" in the bottom/middle
- still unsure how many. 
Momma is not willing to share them just yet.
