bunnies

Higuys. We got bunnies. We used to have four. But, one died. And so we got two more. And we just figured out that bunnies are not allowed to have lettuce, cabbage, or spinach (we call it rape). And that's all we've been giving them. So, today mommy, Julia, and I went to this Livestock Feed place and bought a huge 25 kg bag of rabbit pellets for 66,000 Kwacha. (This is about $14) We need to buy them hay, which is really what they should eat the most of, but we were told that we can't buy hay until April or May. This could be a problem. Anyone who has bunnies don't feed them lettuce or cabbage because they can't pass gas and they will just get bloated to death.
I haven't done my blogging in a long time. I'm so sorry. Kamryn and mommy were just sick a couple days ago. And I have another cough. Bye.

So sorry to hear about your bunny. We have a pet bunny named TJ that we love very much. Some of the treats we give him include apple cores, celery, cilantro, strawberry tops, and carrots.

Our bunny book also lists some treats: dry oatmeal, 1/4 sliced bread, unfrosted shredded mini-wheat cereal, cheerios, one or two club or saltine crackers, 1-2 sections of orange, 2-3 inches of banana, 1-2 florets of broccoli. Just no treats for rabbits until they are 6 months old because the babies have sensitive digestive systems.

Do you have toys for your bunnies? Our bunny loves to "dig" in an old kitchen hand towel, and toss around a baby rattle. Sometimes we give him cardboard toilet paper tubes too.

Hope you love being a bunny owner!

Hi Bradyn, We have 3 rabbits now too! We just put a letter in the mail to you, so we won't tell you all about it. We just wanted you to know we're reading your blog. We miss you! Enjoy your rabbits. We know about the lettuce so don't worry about our bunnies.
love,
Jaime Lyn and Brie Ella
