Well. I said a while ago I would start a littleblog for our rabbit Potato. And now we have another little one that isthe only living offspring of her.

I will start at the beginning. On the 7th of December, 2006.. Around 11o'clock at night. Sam, my roomate and best friend, got a call on hercellphone. It was one of her old friends that is going to college atNDSU. (Fargo, ND. We are in Moorhead, MN right next to it) She said shelived a couple room down from these girls who had a bunny rabbit theydidn't want anymore. They appartently thought she was too loud for thedorm. As they are not even supposed to have a pet anyway. So wascurious on if we wanted it. So.. We decided to atleast go and look andmeet her before committing. I was going to get a rabbit for my birthdaythis year. November 23rd. But I refused because I am not sure if takingcare of another pet would be right for me right now.

Anyway. We drive to Fargo and to the dorm. Meeting up with Sam'sfriend. She brings us to this little dorm room with three girls inside,and a little bunny. First off, she was living in a place she shouldn'tbe. Second she was living in a tupperware box. :( Eating JUNK food.

We took her home. Needless to say. We took those pictures that night:

Upin recieving her. Adoring her. A few days later.. (the 13th, I think)Sam woke me from a nap to see what this thing was on her little box.(She has the grate-covered litter box. So she is not sitting in herlitter!) Well it was a little baby bunny. She didn't really seem towant to care for it. So.. Sadly the little bugger died over night.(R.I.P little Sam Jr.) It was unexpected.. And sad. But.. It was allgood now.. Everything was back to normal. ... Wait. She is starting topull her fur and nest again! But it's 30+ hours later.. Ohho. She was'feep'ing away and having more babies! *faints*

So.. Now we have two more babies. A little pink one and a smaller blackone. Sadly. I have been taking pictures daily. Here are links up todate!

:yeahthatI thought one didn't make it, but I'm not sure which one now.:ponder:

The one that made it is sure a cutie.....and getting BIG too!

Mommy bun is very pretty. She looks a bit like our Mooshu.

Sorry I missed this before!

So, im assuming the little pink one passed away on day one? Poor dear.

Potato is adorable! She is so lucky you saved her. Her baby is justprecious. Do you know how she got pregnant? Did they have a boy inthere with her? Or had they just purchased her right before?
 
That baby is going to be SO socialized that it will be hilarious. Of course, I happen to think that is a good thing!

I love the video of the baby....

I am one of those who believe that the more you play with them (evenbefore their eyes are open) - the friendlier they are (and the happierthey are too).

You know, if other people are like me, they're getting KO'd by the cute pics and don't have the words to respond! ;)

Both Potato and her baby are beautiful. Do you have a name for the little one yet?
 
I am not sure, for sure. I saw potato and hersiblings when she was small. Apparently she was purchased and thepeople who had her probably had her with a male. The college kids gother and had her for a couple of weeks. Then we took her in.

^^ I love this little bugger. I was thinking about naming Llama.

What a gorgeous baby.....I love the photo of it near the index card - that is so great for size comparison..

Thank you for the sweet comments. ^^ I am glad Ihave been logging his growth every day. It's interesting to see thedifference between day 2 and day 7. 5 simple little days he has grownso much.

I am sad the others didn't make it. But We are very very glad to have our little guy.

Now to find out if he IS a boy. How old does he/she need to be before one can sex them?
 
Your new baby just gets cuter everyday!

You take great pictures, too...I love the one with his ears up...CUTE!! :)

And I love all the nosey pictures...I could just MELT!! :D
 
Thank you! *smiles* They are just simplesnap-shots. But I have been, and do plan to get more into photography.(I just got a Canon EOS 30D for my birthday) The depth of field is sohigh on these because I am indoors, and I don't really have anythingbut a desk lamp for lighting. *smiles nervously*

Oh! I'll be updating photos within the hour or so. We noticed today that babies left eye has opened juuust a little. :D
