well, you actually barely avoided the page. seriously, who would have thought bunnies would bring along such fretting and near-medical emergencies? yesterday, i noticed that "a" bunny was pulling out hair - it looked like rhetta's (formerly known as rhett). who would have thought that a bunny can be pregnant again within HOURS of giving birth. well, due to the fact we didn't know he was a she and she had just had a litter of bunnies - why would we think she may have been pregnant again before we discovered all of the above?
so.......we brought her into the garage last night. she wasn't thrilled, but obliged us. then, this afternoon, i noticed.....no bunny pellets. not a good sign due to the ongoing fear of gi stasis - especially in an angora. so, tonight i performed gentle abdominal massage. extremely gentle just in case she is pregnant. but, remember, we're not good at determing that. obviously since we made sam (formerly known as scarlet) nest in an air-conditioned garage this summer because we just knew "he" was pregnant. nada. well, needless to say after the massage therapy, increased alfalfa hay and water - we had success! at one point, scott and i looked at each other and could not contain the laughter. we are nuts! absolutely nuts! who spends a night in the garage coaxing their bunny to well.......poop. there i said it. but, i'm the mom of two boys, i can say things like that.
it doesn't stop there. because of the frigid weather tonight, we brought all the bunnies in. and, well, we decided to do a little inspecting and we're pretty sure that jack is likely jack-ie. seriously, what in the world?
all i know is that we are about to keep dr. nick very busy with either spading and/or neutering.
