Thanks again! That above ground growing is a great idea. I was never much one for gardening but for the bunnies well being I can be convinced. The rabbit poop for fertilizer is something I never knew. However, I definitely have a great deal of rabbit poop!!
The toys seem to be doing their work for the ones in the hutches. They love the things hanging from the top, and the raffia I wove through the sides. The ones who run around free in a "safe" room for about 6-8 hours a day do not seem interested in the toys at all. Even when I tried to play with them. The little girl, Jessica, seemed afraid of them. She did, however, down over half a dozen dandelion greens in about 2 seconds. She is the one who overgroomed her brother, Arthur, the worst. Poor little Arthur is the tiniest (besides Isabeau who was the one who came in wounded) and Jessica licked him a bald spot about 3cm by 2cm. He has had the sweater on for 3 days now and when I took it off today and checked the spot, there is fuzz already beginning to grow back in.
A friend of mine suggested I teach them to play chess if they are so bored and need intellectual stimulation. :lol:
I bought dandelion greens and they also seem to be a hit. No one liked the spinach. Not one of them even nibbled on one leaf. It seems that they all pretty much like or do not like the same things. I wonder how much of that is genetic since they are all full siblings.
I will check at the horse farm about the carrots. I never even thought of that. That is another fabulous idea. Thanks. They know me in the supermarket and go in the back to bring me out a crate of carrots. I think the wonky ones will be just fine for the bunnies. They certainly will not care and it will most likely save me some money.
My birthday just passed and a friend of mine sent me 50 pounds of Timothy Hay and Orchard Grass for my birthday. It just arrived. I have to keep some of it in the trunk of my car as I have nowhere else to put it that is safe from the wild animals. That will help a great deal.
They have learned that when I come home with those large grocery bags it is good for them. I let them run around in their pairs every night while I am changing the litter and the fleece in their hutches. They like to run over to the bags and eat whatever they find right from the bag. They think they are getting away with something. It is very cute, especially my little boys in their sweaters. Their facial expressions are funny.
Thank you so much for all of your very valuable advice.
The bunnies all thank you also!:wave:
