I think Teddy and Baby need a new home.

What a decision to make, so glad you recognized that maybe they needed a different situation. You shoul feel free to ask people for references, from a vet for example. Although if she has no pets now and hasn't for a few years, she won't be able to provide one. But ask, which vet would she use? Best wishes for the interview process!

Thanks for the advice Freedom.

She emailed back and said she'd love to come bring her kids and she only lives like 10 minutes away from me. What a coinsidence seeing as I listed my post for a city I live a hour away from.

Hard decision to make, good luck with it. I just hope we don't see any new bunnies within a few months.

If I'm re homing them because I have no time for them why would I go out and get more?

For most of my life I had caged animals ... rodents, reptiles, birds, etc. At some points in my life with some pets, it was fine. But, honestly, the reason I don't have them anymore is time they took - cleaning the cage, trying to spend enough time with them. It is a huge time commitment to do it right. And if you aren't going to do it right, it's best not to do it at all, IMO.

The only thing we have now in a cage is one little snake, and he would MUCH prefer we never touch him or take him out of the cage. So that's fine. But when he's gone, I will never get another caged animal. At least not until all the kids are grown and gone, and probably until we retire and have lots of time.

Rehoming an animal because of changes in life circumstances is sometimes unavoidable, and sometimes best for the animal. Of course, like jackie mentioned, hopefully anyone that has to do so will learn from the experience and not repeat it.

Well the whole family came to meet them, there was mother father and the two kids. They were all soooo nice and sweet. They said I can come over and see them any time and they will keep in contact with pictures. Baby really liked the one kid and went right up to him and hopped in his lap and the mom was so excited she said she wanted to just get them home and watch them play. They have a huge insolated inclosure outside for them to play in during the day and a inside enclosure for the night. They are going to be so much more happy.
I'm glad for them but I'm still upset to see them go
