Little Nut

Peanut came to me about 6 years ago via a Petsmart adoption. His little 1.75 pound self was sharing a cage with some mammoth chihuahuas. He's a special case they told me. Rescued from horrendous conditions from a puppymill in Live Oak, Florida. He had to get all but 5 teeth removed due to malnutrition. Plus, his social skills were severely lacking. I sadly ended up leaving, but Sam turned around to buy him because he knew I loved him.

His name was foxy, but I renamed him
Peanut because of his size. I should have named him Wiley because he looks like Wiley Coyote.


He is my sidekick. Loves me and only me. He's loyal....thinks he's fierce but now has no teeth in his mouth. Which, by the way makes his tongue hang out. He has a face only a mother could love....which I do.

Three Little Bunnies

The bunnies are almost three weeks now.  We have 2 girls and 1 boy.  Finally we could tell.  They just started to explore outside of their nest box. 

These were the prettiest carrots I have seen.  Freshly plucked from somewhere with huge mounds of greenery on top.  I had to buy them.  I felt like I was in a french market walking around with them in my carrier.  I had big plans for them.  However, I guess due to the freshness when I left them out overnight  they turned limp?  So the big plans turned into either rabbit food or the trash can.

Eleven Days Old

Check out that mug!

It looks like a baby chinchilla....

Baby Bunnies

Stella had 5 baby Angora/Lionhead crosses last week.  We didn't even think she was bred.  They really aren't like a dog or cat where you can see a pertruding belly.  Sam found the first one on our screened porch where she was exercising. It was squeeking with a suspicious cat nearby.  It also had a little blood on it's leg...hmmmmm.  We thought that was it, but low and behold there were 4 more in the corner.  After we placed them in the makeshift nesting box that we concoted, we had to baracade the cats out.  Low and behold those suckers figured a way in.  Amazingly enough, one reached into the bunny cage and moved the nesting box to the front.  Alexis did a head count and guess what....only four little rabbits.  I guess the cat had a snack that night.  They are ferocious killers.  The hurt one died.  Now there are three bunnies left....that are thriving I must add.

I'm going to put an ad up at the local yarn stores.  They are for spinning of course....plus Angoras are sooo laid back and make awesome pets.  Addy will have great Easter pics this year.  They will be adorable!  Alexis is selling them for $60.00 a piece, which is a steal.  I believe they are all going to be white/cream.

Wet Bunny

Bunnicula was dirty and really needed a bath.  He was a champ for Alexis.  He's so sweet and good natured.  Very cat/dog like.  He looked kinda creepy when he was wet.  He's usually VERY fluffy since he's an angora.  We are planning little Bunniculas for Easter.
