Hi, well my baby bunnies are 7 weeks next week and they have to go, I will be advertising them this week and finding suitable homes. We are keeping one and my 2 friends are having one each. I want them to go to people near me and to make sure they get good, loving homes. They have grown and changed so much and are now eating me out of house and home and having to clean them out 3 times a week-they are so messy
I will be sad to see them go but I have 4 already and also I don't want any more baby bunnies, dad has been fixed now. I have posted some photos from when they were just born up until now.Sorry, loads of piccies

Dad is lion head full bre and mum is a rex cross but they look like lion heads. I have advertised them as lion head cross-parents can be seen. Nothing like mummy. They are so fluffy, they look like guinea pigs

They are cute! I sure hope both mom and dad will be getting fixed. Female rabbits who are left unspayed have an 80% chance of getting uterine cancer if left intact. Male rabbits need to be neutered so they won't need to be sexually frustrated. Like dogs and cats, rabbits need to be speutered
.

Also...I'd be really careful about all of those carrots I see you are feeding in that picture. Carrots are super high in sugar and aren't good for rabbits in massive amounts. I'd maybe feed a baby carrot a few times a week, at most. Rabbits, especially babies, have sensitive digestive systems and all of those carrots could have caused major upset issues (if they didn't...you are beyond lucky!). Sometimes overboard feeding can cause death due to their sensitive systems.

They are so very, very cute.
I lost my bunny a while ago and I really miss having one. Wish I could have another bunny.

Thank you for posting this! I did not know this.

They are just carrot peelings in the pic and yeah there is alot as I have currently 12 rabbits until the babies go and they only have veg once a week after my weekly roast dinner which my vet said is fine, all my females are spayed as well. I have 5 rabbits altogether. Thanks for your advice.

Hehe, my cats are scared of them when I let all the big bunnies in the garden, the only ones who plays with them is Floss, the bunnies headbutt the cats up the bottom if they get too close

I think it may be hard to find new homes for the other 2 left and I am a bit wary about letting just anyone have them, its very cold here and I want to know that they will be warm enough and well looked after. x
