I guess we have to face the inevitable, it’s time to give the bunnies away! Huhuhu! Now that they’re more than a month old already, well exactly 42 days old and since they have long stopped nursing from their mothers I guess it’s now time for us to be weaned from the baby bunnies too. Even if we don’t really want to part with them and even if admittedly, they’ve been such a drain on the budget because before with just the two rabbits, we only buy 2 kilos of pellets per week and 2 bundles of camote tops per day. But now with the addition of five voracious bunnies, we need to buy 4 kilos of rabbit pellets and countless bundles of camote tops. In fact, we may soon earn our neighbor’s ire because we’re on the verge of using up and even killing their camote plants with our frequent picking! So I guess it’s just practical to give them away but only to people close to our hearts so we can still come to visit them and see how they’re doing every once in a while.
Since the bunnies are two brown-patched and three whites, we decided to give one pair (with a white and a brown-patched) to Yana and Nog-nog (a niece and nephew from the hubby’s side of the family) while another pair to Chi-chi and Sam (my brother’s kids), and the remaining white bunny to Monica (another cousin’s daughter). So there’d be no more bunnies left with us… boohoo. But that’s OK coz soon enough, Brownie and Whitey will have new kits again and next time, we’ll surely keep even just one for ourselves…
POSTSCRIPT: Well, it seems the owners of the bunnies changed a bit since Chi-chi and Sam will be gone for a month (to join their Mom in Bangkok) so they can’t take care of the rabbits. So we just gave one brown-patched bunny to Monica so that her white bunny will not be lonely. The other white bunny remained with us and we named her Vanilla. Meanwhile Chi-chi and Sam will have their bunnies during the next litter.
