Rabbits!

Sasha and baby update: I went into one of our local stores, did what they said, and then the next day Sasha had mauled the baby and we had to get rid of it. My dd has had a hard time with this, she was really looking forward to raising a baby rabbit. I'm sure it is for the best, I just have never seen my dd so broken up.

A couple of weeks ago I was talked into getting a rabbit. Her name is Sasha and she is the only thing my oldest dd is getting for Christmas and her birthday...it is all she wants anyway. Well Sasha is adorable and has been getting used to us and her new surroundings pretty well.

Well anyhow, things have been a little strange with Sasha the past few days and we were about to take her to the vet. We discovered tonight what was wrong...she was pregnant. Sometime today, she had 2 bunnies. OY! (She had been kept in a cage with her 2 sisters and 1 brother before we got her) Who knew rabbits could get pregnant so young? NOT ME!

My dd was sent to her room to clean it (and spend time with Sasha like she always does in the evening) and all of a sudden started screaming at me to come downstairs at once! Well I took my sweet time, it is nice to bug her a little. There were 2 black things, bunnies of course, in her cage. Unfortunately, one was dead...but so far the other is alive and so tiny. I'm not sure Sasha knows how to take care of them, she is only about 7 months old herself, I know I don't! LOL I'm hoping her instinct will kick in, 'cause it was almost too much to have to deal with the dead one. I'm not ready to do it again.

The things we mom's have to put up with sometimes...it is enough to make me want to scream...cry...pull my hair...etc. CALGON take me away!!!
