Introducing...

....Babs! (or Babette, technically :P)

About Babs:

Babs is a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit, and even though she is only 10 weeks old, she's full grown at 2.5 pounds! She's also very soft and quite fluffy, hence her big appearance for her weight :)

Her favorite treat is bananas:

She loves to give kisses:

She shares Ava's fascination with Aladdin:

Only one family member doesn't adore her:

...but that's ok. The rest of us do!

As for Sundress, it turns out that wild rabbits cannot be domesticated - it's impossible - so after consulting with the petting zoo where we re-homed the other wild rabbits and a vet, we were advised to let her free in the wild. Ava was a great sport about it, though a bit sad, and so we adopted one of the petting zoo bunnies instead! Sundress now lives on the Brushy Creek Greenbelt with her "family", and is much happier :)

Meet Our Bunny!

Now introducing: Sundress!

Note: We let Ava name the bunny, in case that wasn't obvious. Thankfully, I think Sunny is a pretty cute nickname, or even Sunny Bunny. We're also reasonably sure the bunny actually is a girl, so that name fits! It's growing on me.

Anyhow, we recently took the rest of the bunnies to be rescue bunnies at the petting zoo we frequent. It seemed like the perfect solution - they'll be happier and we'll still get a chance to see them, not to mention that they'll be making other little kiddos happy as well. How can you go wrong? Anyhow, we did keep one, since we'd all gotten attached to them, and that one is our sweet little Sundress.

We're still working on domesticating her fully, but of all of us, she seems to love Ava the most! She lets Ava hold her (though Ava is more persistent than anyone else, so that's a part of it!), and Ava is able to catch her a lot easier than we do! Sunny is definitely Ava's bunny :)

Welcome to our family, Sunny!
