He is "new" to us, she is not. She(Mitzie) is our formerDutch, Maxie's "widow." Trying to bond her to Ernest,especially with the winter coming and they're both outside rabbits.

Sorry I got her name wrong, Buck. I can't seem to keep Maizie and Mitzie's names straight.

They are both so cute! I love dutch rabbits. Someday I will have one to spoil. What kind of bun is Mitzie?

Last week I spent $20 on Flopsy, I bought him a hay rack, timothy hay,a veggie basket(it hangs from the top of they're cage), and babycarrots.

MItzie was rescue shelter rabbit, but I believe she is a Netherdwarfwith Himalayan markings. She weighs in at a little over 4 lbs.

If anyone can identify her breed any better, please do.

Mitzie is a big girl! I'm thinkingthere may have been some lop cross in the background. Herface has a lop look to it and her size indicates she's not purebreddwarf. Since the color is rare in lops, Netherlands (and MiniRex) have been crossed in to get the color.

Buck,

You have such beautiful buns! and now that you know Ernestis a Ernestine I am sure they both will be living more peaceful lives.

Thanks for your considered judgment, Pamela. Perhaps,someday, when I figure out how to post pictures on line, I'll post apicture of her "alleged" sister, Maizie, who is a black broken doe thatlooks nothing like Mitzie.

Well, we may still try to affect a bonding just on theprinciples of company and sharing a better hutch than the oneErnest(ine) came in. I would feel a lot better if Ernest(ine)was to spend the winter in one of my hutches, as they are betterconstructed, more weatherproof, and I suspect, warmer.

But, the buns may have a mind of their own, though,eh?

Another useful clue(Maizie'sbroken coloration),which would also lend to the fact that there is a possible lopbackground, as brokens are rather uncommon in the NetherlandDwarfs. The mix could indeed have produced babies that looknothing alike.
