I think we are about to get 2 rabbits this weekend. We used to have one before, but he died [V].

Dave, any suggestions. Two young females ok to buy? They will not be house rabbits, but kept in a large hutch outside, bought in at winter, etc. They, like the guinea pigs, will be handled and looked after every day, what with all the kids around here!!!

yeah dave - blackbirds as babies are always brown, they will get their adult plumage when they mature i.e black for male and brown for female, i am currently rearing about thirty baby birds at min - will post some of the cutie ones up, when am well enough to go back to work!

[dave]

they look nice are they both lops. the one in the top pic has one ear up and one loped is it like that all the time or is it listerning,
make sure they don't eat the straw my vet said it bungs them up, i now use hay for binkis litter tray and for his diet and in travis's cage, only cost £3.50 for a wrapped bale from the farm.

Yep, both lops. Not sure about one ear up all the time, will keep an eye on it!

They are only in the bottom with straw whilst sorting out the runs, houses, etc. They are not eating the straw, yet! But cheers for the tip. We have plenty of hay lying around [it helps with friends who have an 8 acre small-holding ].

Our cat is now hovering around - the sly old thing.

they have all gone except the brown one that can only fly about 3 feet

Dave - the adult bird on your photo is brown, the males are jet black. When babies leave the nest they can only fly about 3ft, so what parents tend to do is split the brood up and hide them locally in thick bushes etc. It will take about 5 days for the last baby to be able to fly properly from leaving the nest, this is normal and nothing to worry about. Both male and female will incubate, and rear the babies.

that brown one is one of the baby's, do they all go black in the end, i never saw any brown adult visiting the nest,
