We are getting some real warm weather (high 80′s) this weekend… or today, and I wanted to make sure all the rabbits would be comfortable. All three grown-ups have already shed their coat and I harvested all their wool last week so I just sheared what was left. Now they can stay cool for awhile and start a new coat from scratch. French angoras don’t need to be sheared, but it’s always a good idea in hot weather.

Now when you pet them, or rub their backs, they feel like chenille! That will be my next endeavor… chenille rabbits.

Clementine

Thistle

Dandelion

Everyone was out of the nest box yesterday hopping around. Clementine got a little alone time in the play area while I gave the babies a “wellness check” looking for clear eyes, butts, and ears. All of the little ones had the cage to themselves to jump and play as they pleased. I tried my best to take some pictures of the action, but they really are fast little buggers. They are getting cuter by the day!
