We added 2 new rabbits to the farm last night. These two girls were “given” to us…of course it took a lot of gas to get them BUT they are really people friendly. They are very skinny compared to our girls so it will take some time to get them where they should be....
This is Hippie…
This is Hopster…
They are sisters and are both Red New Zealand’s....they are about 5 months old and would be ready for breeding, normally, in a few months..but these girls were so NOT an okay weight that we will not breed them until they are 1 and we can get them to where they are healthy. They looked at the rabbit feed like it was a crazy alien thing so I am assuming by that and their weight that they were on a grass only diet…SO NOT A GOOD THING! I gave them some leaf lettuce, timothy hay, and rabbit pellets with a big helping of water so they should be well on their way to getting healthy.
