I finally decided to start a blog for my little bunny "Curly" (which is a temporary name for a couple more weeks). I'll be calling Curly a "he" for now...but because, haha.
I first acquired Curly from the Humane Society of Utah when I got a desperate plea that they had received a mother rabbit and her kits and did not have a foster home to care for them. Seeing as I was on my way home with my OWN bunny (Theodore, my barely 3lb Holland lop) I almost turned it down. But of course I couldn't give up the chance to raise another litter of rabbits, so I agreed. They had the mama (a very poor quality black lionhead), her two 4 week old kits, and 4 4 day old kits. They actually had a THIRD litter at the shelter already that was a month older than the others. The runt kit passed the day after I brought them home, but the others have been thriving. I recently returned the two older siblings (Chester and Cecelia) after weaning them and now the other three are 3 weeks old.
Anyway, as Curly developed I noticed something was weird about his fur. It came in waves which was very different from his siblings' fur. As he's grown his curly locks have just gotten cuter and cuter and I decided to ask about adopting him. They said YES, and that's where we are today
.
They're only now starting to display their little idiosyncrasies, but so far Curly has been outgoing, friendly, and very playful. He loves playing with Theodore and I'm hoping bonding will go well when the time is right!
I've been taking pictures on a regular basis to track their development, and that's what I'll be sharing here!
