As my Rabbit keeping days draw to a close I hope no-one minds me starting this thread where I'd like to post photos that represent specific times during the last 18 years.
My very first three Rabbits, bought on a whim from Petsmart (now P@H). I knew absolutely nothing about Rabbits. I had only gone into the store to buy some dog biscuits. The following 18 years have been a never ending learning curve
And here I thought that Bea was just getting a bit fat...................
First harsh lesson learned, Bucks remain fertile for SEVERAL weeks after castration.............
I had bought another Rabbit from a local garden centre, a Caster Rex Buck whom I named 'Seamus'.
I had him neutered and was told it'd be 'fine' for him to go back with the Four Does he lived with after a couple of DAYS, although I actually kept him separate for well over 4 weeks.On being returned to his harem he impregnated ALL of them. In a mater of 48 hours my Rabbit family grew by another 15 Rabbits. I kept all of the Kits for their entire lives.
Now and again I'll add more photos and brief stories to this thread. Hope some of my RU friends will enjoy following it xx
