So sadly my almost 6 year old bunny Houdini passed away on Monday. I wasn't planning on getting a rabbit anytime soon but I was on craigslist and saw an ad for rabbits very close to me and decided to check it out. I went over there Friday and the girl had 9 rabbits in pretty terrible conditions. They were sitting in their own urine and feces about an inch deep. The little baby I got has it the worst off since he is white he is dirty and also has fly bites on his ears. I couldn't leave them behind they looked like they needed me and their owner looked overwhelmed with all the rabbits. I think she had 4 adults and 5 babies or something like that. They were all inside of a large dog kennel/run outside. One male was in a small wire cage inside of it in the middle. He was the oldest. She had said she gave him to a little girl down the street and he came back home a few days later dirty and sticky. Then there was another female loose inside of the dog kennel. There was another small hutch with the mother and 5 babies. There was a hutch by it's self with the older boy I got. Hopefully giving some away would make it easier on her to take care of them.
They seem to be doing good in their new hutches but seem a little frightened of the new surroundings. Here is the older buck who is 8 months old named Julius he older brother to the smaller one. This person let her rabbits just live together and breed litter after litter of mutt rabbits. The mother is a mini lop and the father has upright ears and looks to be a mixed breed himself.
He is adorable a little harliquin guy.

And the little dude Napoleon. Notice how his underside is stained yellow from urine. He is about 7 weeks old. The owner said she didn't even know the doe was pregnant and she gave birth in a hole she dug and the babies weren't discovered until they were about 2 weeks old. :speak:
