I almost did something bad
I went to the pet store to pick up more Oxbow for the bunnies. The pet store near me that carries oxbow also sells bunnies. Well they have 2 boys right now that are free to a good home. They are both on hold for people. Then there were at least 5 baby bunnies that are just under 6 weeks old. I was surprised to see that they were not still with mom. Then there was a beautiful black and white bunny with a brand new litter. The babies were under the fur and you could just see the fur moving. I asked what they were going to do with Momma after she finished weaning her litter. The girl asked the manager and when she came back she said they were going to keep her. The girl then told me that the bunnies about 6 weeks were hers as well! She said that she was kept away from males but got pregnant. I know that babies can impregnant their mother but under 6 weeks! That sounds a bit crazy. Especially since the babies take about a month to have. Personally I think someone cleaning her cage was careless and placed her with a male. The poor girl looks so tired. Thankfully she was eating well and drinking well while I was there. I really want to get this bunny. I feel so badly that she has had 2 litters back to back. I am going to ask about her again. I have to go back because they were out the the Bunny T today. I know they will just get another girl bunny to breed. They don't always have bunnies though but I suppose they are gearing up to Easter.
Oh and the worst part is the girl handed me on of the almost 6 weeks old babies. Oh so sweet! He was this little tiny thing that was brown with bluish eyes. He just snuggled into my neck. I may have taken him home if they were sellling them now. They are not allowed to go home until the 16th. It's a good thing because I really lost my head and heart holding this little fuzz butt. She was not even sure how much they were selling them for. This one was the girls favorite and I think she was hoping I would say to hold him for me. As much as I would love him I keep thinking of momma. The girl told me she was very sweet and let her put her hands in the cage to clean it and even get close to the babies. I know I said only rescue bunnies but if I can get them to let me buy Momma I would so it in a heartbeat!
