Hello, Everybody --
I am thrilled to be joining this forum. It came to me on the highest recommendation of a fellow member for whom I have great respect. I am sure I will find it a wonderful place for fellowship and information. I and the rabbits look forward to meeting you and your rabbits.
Me and my husband have two Flemish Giants, the second of which we just acquired today at a rabbit show and so have not yet named. She is a 5-month doe with beautiful form, structure, fur and temperament. The other Flemish Giant is a 10-month-old buck named Sam, who is quite willful and messy and just wins our hearts over. The two oldest rabbits are black Dutch, littermates, spayed females named Dorcas (Greek for 'gazelle") and Jemimah (Hebrew for "dove"). They are 6 years old. Finally, there's our spayed Himalayan female, Maddie, who is 4.
Sam, Jemimah and Maddie live in the rabbit room off the kitchen while Dorcas, the littlest whom Jemimah and Maddie started attacking when Sam came to live with us, lives in the large bathroom, happy to be an only bunny. They all like spending some time each day in the pen outdoors (weather permitting). I once tried to encourage the smaller rabbits to do showjumping and agility, but they did not really take to it. I guess I started when they were too old to have fun with it.
We will be watching the new bunny, who is out on the (roofed) second storey porch in a cage for now, for a name that is appropriate for her. She did very well at the rabbit show today, winning her junior sandy class and nearly winning the Best of Variety. The senior doe to whom she barely lost Best of Variety went on to win Best of Show so we feel that we must have doen a pretty good job in choosing her. We are very excited to have added her to our "herd".
It is late and I am rather tired from driving back from the rabbit show so I hope you will forgive me if I have forgotten any pertinent details.
Have a good evening.
