Bunny Love


We love our bunnies, which we named Tilly and Molly! I'm still determined to believe they're both girls. They were only in this wardrobe box (where Sarah is trying to drop a bag of lettuce because she knows they like lettuce) for a couple of weeks while their hutch arrived. I haven't taken a picture of it, but it's very spacious and happily situated in the basement instead of our living room. Travis and Michael did a great job putting it together. I also built a bunny run in our backyard. It cost only $18 but three trips to Home Depot to get it right. We can easily move it to mow and can even take it with us when we move. The bunnies are very happy in it, and they haven't escaped since we added plastic stakes to keep it close to the ground. We put them outside for a few hours every day as long as it isn't too hot (or too cold in the winter). They love to graze on grass. There is a wild cottontail that likes to come visit whenever Tilly and Molly are outside. We watch from the kitchen window so that we don't frighten it. They are very sweet and fun to play with. I am pleased to say that so far I don't regret this impulsive adoption!
