I know all about that doorbell drop off. A few years ago when we lived in ,Washington state ,In one week my Angora rabbit heard went up by 6 . I ended up with 25 just before we move here to Montana. Hubby said only 2 could come,so the newset litter of 2 does came. My spinning buddy and best female friend took the others. Amazing how it was about a month after Easter!! When it was time to really have to groom them!
