Hi all!
New to the forum and bunnies having taken in two rabbits from an elderly lady who can't cope with them in Lockdown (and probably not after).
Here are: Munchies (black & beige colour) & Oreo (black with white bib and feet)
Any advice on breed would be useful, as we know very little about them other than:
We don't think they've been handled much as they're still shying away if we try picking up. On the other hand, they're happy to be stroked and nuzzled, and in return they'll lick my nose and ears (tell me if this is a good or bad habit to encourage!!). Nails are a little long, but again, they've never been checked out and don't seem to be in any discomfort, so I'm hoping the run of the garden will keep them ok until we can get to the vets/groomers. When they're comfortable with being handled I'll try trimming with the pet scissors.
We think they're Rex, although the hairs seem a little long. Any ideas?
Dave

- These were rescue rabbits, she had them for a couple of years so likely 3-4 years old
- Munchies is Female (brown/beige), Oreo is Male (dark brown with white bib and feet) and they've both been spayed
