Oh My God!!!!!!

well I am not taking offence, I am new to the whole bunny ownership deal. I was told, that when I got them they were vaccinated. I also didnt think i needed to spay them as I thought they were both girls. They arent like cats and dogs, and run loose or anything, thye are always in their bunny cage. I understand How ignorant I sound, but that is how i looked at it. It took me quite a while to finally find a vet to schedule thier spaying as it is. It is amazing that there are many vets that dont do it! and by the way Sugar just turned 6 months last week, and butters is only 8 months.

Its not just the fact that if they are both girls , rabbits unlike other animals have a very high risk of getting genital cancer and would die when they are 3 compared to a altered bun who can happily live her life out as long as a dog. You dont let them out to have a run either?
Again not trying to sound rude. If you are new to the bunny world then Im just trying to help and give advice. Even if the cage is huge rabbits are supposed to have at least 2 hours outside of their cage. They are outside buns right?
If you dont have time to take them out and play with them you can build a attachment maybe to their cage that lets them play outside . Just a thought.

Yes they get to come out of their cage, thats not what I meant! I meant they cant run off with the neighboring bunny! I have an outdoor run that they use, and they play inside the house with me. They get to run around all they want down stairs. What I was talking about, was unlike a dog or cat, they cant just get loose, and end up with the neighbors bunny, and get preggers. I understand now, that i was ignorant, and they are getting fixed tomarrow!
And yes the buunies are outside, but only during nice weather, I just brought them in to spend the winter inside with me. I am a new Bunny owner, and am trying to do the right thing. I love my bunnies!

Well Butters got fixed today, and is doing great! he was a little groggy, but otherwise doing good. The vet Assist. at the vets office come to find out is my neighbor!! how cool is that??? he he he he! she even delivered Butters to me after, he was neutered! She is awsome!

Unfortunately I was not able to Fix Sugar, as she is indeed pregnant, and the vet thinks she is between 2-3 weeks along, so within another week or two she will give birth! But My neighbor, Lisa(the Vet tech) Has explained everything i need to do to prepare fpr the new babies, and has also offered to help me find great homes. So as soon as she can, after the babies are born, she will also be fixed.

I am actually excited at the upcoming arrivals, and am hoping things go Okay. I feel so much better knowing that two doors down is a vet tech should any problems arise. So fingers crossed that the babies and momma make it!

Excellent! I had an "oops" litter when I was younger, and while it was challenging finding them all good homes, I really enjoyed watching them grow up. I'm looking forward to lots and lots of pictures of the new arrivals!

I am very excited to see the birth of these babies, as I have never had a pregnant animal before, except whe i was 5 and didnt get to see it. But I am also very scared! But I just have to think positive that things will be okay, adn they will!!

Well Sugar is getting very aggressive lately! According to the web, this is very common with pregnant females. She got very upset when I went to clean out the cage yesterday, i have never heard a rabbit growl before! scared the crud right out of me! I put her nest box in last night, cause we arent exactly sure when she is due, so we want to be prepared. She loved it! whent right in and started moving all the bedding around and made a nice little spot! I will be viligantly watching her from now on, looking for any signs that she is ready! I guess the biggest sign is when she starts linning the nest with her fur. Getting excited!(and Nervoous!!)
