Sorry I wasn't able to get on earlier.
They're here!
Winston is VERY timid. His cage has been open for half anhour and he's just now coming out. He thumps and scramblesand runs off a lot. I'm not going to handle him for awhile. I just want him to feel comfortable rightnow. He's pretty scared.
Penelope hasn't been out yet, but she doesn't seem nervous atall. She looks like she's been here forever. Justkeeps looking at me like, "what?". I'm going to let her outin a few minutes. She's a little heavy. I'm goingto limit her pellets.
They're both BEAUTIFUL.
Their momgot a little emotional leaving them today,especially Penelope. You can tell they had a tightbond. I felt horrible for her.
She told me Penelope's story. She rescued Penelope lastJuly. Penelope's mother had been put out in front of a feedstore with a litter of babies in 100 degreeheat.All of Penelope's littermates and her motherwere dead. Penelope was almost dead.:cry1:
Melissa and her husbandtookPenelope andran. They hand fed her KMR and saved her life.They'd never had rabbits before anddidn't know anything aboutthem, but theyknew they had to save her. Theyturned into great rabbit parents.Penelope grew intoa big, beautiful girl. It's so sad that they have to partwith her.
I'm going to get some parsley and see if I can get Winston to take it from my hand.
