They DO have fluffy pantaloons! I never really noticed that either! Flynt has a very cute habit of actually curling his paws around my hand when I pick him up. I think he feels more secure that way? It's very endearing.

I love your buns and all their pictures! So cute! I also really like your budgie. It needs a name! I would call it Custard because of its colour. Anyway, I was fascinated with your picture of the possum. We have possoms here (or opossums) but they look nothing whatsoever like your possoms...

Thanks all! I am happy to give them a home! They are not that big. I just weighed them. He is 4 lbs 4 oz and she is 4 lbs 8 oz.

This is a post about my bunny, Thumper, who has now been gone nearly 3 years. She was a wonderful girl. She lived to be 14. I bought her at a pet shop, long before shelters in my area had bunnies. She was supposedly 8 weeks old. They didn't tell me what breed she was. She was always very small...

Thanks Bo B Bunny! No guesses on breeds?!

Here is Flynt when I first got him out of his carry-box. He has a very wide head compared to Kyndling. He also has a very different coat. He has a short hair coat underneath, with long hair mixed throughout. Her fur is all long, even the guard hairs. Here he is a few days later after about...

I was able to pick up my two new rescue bunnies on the weekend from the Animal Rescue League here in Iowa. They always have a great selection of bunnies (I know, I wish they didn't need to have space for so many, but you sure can take your pick!). They had called me because they know I spin...

Well, that raises a good question - they might be wooly lops. I have no idea! I would say they are roughly the same size as the English angora I have, but he's not a huge one either. I will say that the fur on Kindlin (the female) appears longer than the fur on the male. But I only interacted...

I'd like to add an animal communicator experience, although it was with my greyhounds and not my rabbit. We had a problem with a greyhound that wasn't eating. She was fairly recently rescued from the track. She had started eating, but within a few weeks, she stopped. She also attacked our other...

Oh how I love my local shelter! They call me every time a sheep or a goat comes in, and now they are calling me when any angoras come in. So today, I got the call. What do you think? Are these guys angora crosses? They are sweet, although the male (Flynt) needs a lot of grooming. Major mats on...

Clevername - yes! He does look like that one! I hope the brown will come through more now that his coat will be better cared for. KHerrmann3 - He really DOES look like a big bedroom slipper, especially when he had that long coat. He'll get it back. But you can't have him! :P JadeIcing - my...

Thanks for that link! Very useful! Poor little Butterscotch is looking a little bit pathetic now after his full haircut, but I do think he is more comfortable. The mats were everywhere and really pulling at his skin. Now I can groom the coat as it comes in. For some reason, I can't seem to get...

Oh!! He does a binky all the time! So did my other rabbit. I just didn't know that is what it was called! I always called it a "twisty-hop". How do I clean his scent glands?

Well, things have progressed well with Butterscotch. I did some plucking in some areas that were not as badly matted, but there was so much matting deep down in the fleece that I ended up basically shearing him gently with hand scissors. I did it over about a week so that it wasn't too...

By the way, I tried to embed a photo, using either Picasa or Flickr, and it didn't work either way, which is why I put in the link. Any help on that appreciated! I'm on a mac using Firefox.
