Bunnies and Babies and Adoptions, Oh My!

You might remember that not long ago, we took in 7 adult angora rabbits that came from a cruelty siezure in Canada. They all needed extreme cleaning and were put on pregnancy watch, as the females were not separated from the males. Two weeks ago, one of the rabbits gave birth. She and her five babies are now in foster care and doing well. Two week old Angora babies

Now two of the other adults have given birth. Each of them had eight (8!!) babies, bringing the baby total to 21! We are in dire need of both foster homes and donations to help take care of these adorable balls of fluff. Anyone who can foster would be greatly appreciated. Donations are also appreciated, be it monetary or food - the moms have been going through Oxbow brand bunny pellets and timothy hay like crazy. Ideally, we would like to stop this rapid rabbit reproduction (three cheers for alliteration) with spaying and neutering, but we simply can't do it without financial help. If you can help with this, please comment or send an email to rachel(at)lifelongtails(dot)org.

Luckily, not all of the adults were pregnant. Three of the angoras are up for adoption: Sofia, Marigold, and Mabel. These three beautiful ladies would love a forever home. Will it be with you?


And in other happy news, Edgar the (female) guinea pig was adopted yesterday! We're sure she'll be feeling right at home very soon.
