Default Arg! Rabbits...

A few months ago I received two 'girl' rabbits from Freecycle that were in need of a home (Mother and Daughter).

I now have the Mother rabbit making a nest, pulling out hair and getting fat. Apparently an immaculate conception and the next resurrection has got mixed up and will be a rabbit instead (or maybe the previous owners made a mistake with the sex of the little rabbit ...).

So if anyone would like a baby rabbit in a few weeks time, let me know ...

So if it wasn't a little girl rabbit, then it was a little boy one?

So if I'm understanding this properly, your trying to off load a mutant rabbit that has come about by a little boy rabbit ******** his mum?

Basically! Although I'm going to keep any that appear to have super powers or potential to enter the Royal Family...

It could be a phantom pregnancy. Have you checked the little bunny to see if he/she has any bollox?

Phantom pregnancies arent uncommon in rabbits.
get someone to hold it on its back while you have a rummage between its legs - rabbit nads are generally flat grey flaps either side of the business area - quite hard to see unless you have a close look. Also, press just above its naughty place and see if a ***** pops out or not. Its less than a centimeter long normally.

Okay, after having spent 5 minutes looking at Rabbit **** and then comparing it. It IS a boy, so little mutant bunnies here we come ... and as it has started to create the next in the next day or two apparently.

Well, five rabbits popped out this afternoon. Unfortunately one of them was dead, so I removed it. Leaving four little things.

Sell them to that guy who wants to elongate his manhood buy buying a Rifle and murdering them.

Should be quite hard to hit them when they are little babies.

Good luck with looking after that lot! Our 3 are more work than I like so 6 will keep you busy
Yes the male has been moved -- he was already trying again as the babies were coming out!

I guess the phrase 'at it like rabbits' is actually true ...

Well, as there are four little ones I was thinking that rabbit kebab was more appropriate.

(just joking of course in case anyone I know reads this! )
