Wise Old Thumper
we took in 8 buns last weeks ... All females between 4 and 6 months old from 2 different litters ...all living together :)

now it turned out that 3 of the girls werent girls at all :shock:

this left us with 5 potentialy pregnant girls and 3 boys ....which...if all the girls had 10 babies each ...would mean we had actualy ended up with 58 rabbits in total instead of the 8 we had expected......:shock: :shock: :shock:

now thankfully we had help offered from other rescues . which means we have only kept 2 of the girls ..which cuts down the baby risk somewhat ...

BUT...

imagine if all but 1 had been girls ......
that would mean potentialy 70 babies ..plus the original 8 :shock: :shock: :shock::mrgreen::mrgreen: i feel sick and clammy at the thought ..:?

and before anyone says naaaah ...the litters wouldnt have been that big ...one of the girls which stayed with us had 10 bouncing babies just yesterday...which is what got me thinking ..:shock:

Everyone else liked it :(

I know one day you are both going to insist on naming them for me :lol:. Yes it is, I will get you some pictures tommorrow....they are very sweet & friendly given the fact they were pretty much left to their own devices.

i'm used to turning up with unusual named bunnies. the receptionist likes to have a good laugh and i think the vets call out their names louder than everyone elses on purpose.:lol: the names quite sweet actually. cant wait to see piccies.:)

I knew you would come round to my way of thinking ;)

I hate to have two bunnies with the same name but it starts to get harder the more you have! I really don't know where Montague came from, it just popped into my head. Animus had already named Matilda for me as she looked after them for a week.

You may be a bit shocked by how thin he is, but I promise to make him fat again :D
