Your bunnies sound like typical boys.....a.k.a. my 2 boys and their friends that come over to stay the night. Oh well you still gotta love em no matter what. ;) I sure hope your rabbits eventually get over their stuff and learn to all live peacefully.
Well at least they are not the size of donkeys. Read about your ornery one. :( DH and I are figuring out a plan for all the boys to live in harmony. Bunnies have a mind of their own and if they don't like another, they don't like another. But us humans will find a way to "have peace" in our herd. Just a little more work but they are worth it. :)

What a beautiful weekend we had here. After work on Saturday, came home to find that DH had the buns out (first Dobby and Kreacher, then Willard) for an hour each in that beautiful weather. DH said they had a ball. I could tell too, because all they did after was sleep. I've never seen them so relaxed.

Sunday was the same thing. Beautiful weather. Time out for the boys. DH got the garden cleared and opened it up for the buns to play in. They had a ball. I think Willard saw the "Digging Bunny" video because he was doing a very good impersonation of Howard. Boy can that bun dig! Had very worn out buns for the rest of the day.

Did some yard work. Enjoyed the beautiful weather myself. Got my cannons all cut down and the bulbs dug up and stored. Got our new bun run measured out. Got the fencing from our neighbor's garden to make the run bigger. Neighbor decided to shut down his garden and store his new boat on that area instead. Oh well, our garden and our bun run will be bigger.

Also picked out and measure the spot for our compost as well. Van is kind of putting the pinch on us regarding getting this started. I need transportation more right now than a compost unfortunately.

Cut down all our sunflowers and stored the heads to get seeds for next year. Our sunflowers really thrived this year. Loved the different color heads that we got. Bees loved it too. Marigolds still thriving so many bees around the garden. They didn't bother the buns. Just there for the flowers. Can tell they are starting to get sluggish.

Birds galore this weekend. Can tell the Fall is coming fast. Flocks of birds in the trees. The finches are in the bushes getting prepared for the winter. DH and I making sure the bird feeders are all OK for the winter. Lots of little birds depend on the feed we put out in the winter.

The plan we have for the buns have "kept the peace". No fights. All enjoyed the weekend. :)

Monday is here, so back to work. :( All have a Great Day.

We should send you some lady bunnies. Then you can have lots of babies hopping around.

I'll take some lady bunnies. But alas all my Males are neutered.

BUT, when Spring comes around I see more bunnies in our Livestock Adventure. And definitely there will be some ladies. :)

Thought Jake and I ran this fellow off a while ago. But here he/she shows up yesterday morning. And what has he found? The bird feeder and is happily squatting.

Hope he/she leaves soon because what he/she is leaving, our dog Jake is rolling in it to mark. :sick

I just got 3 new baby turkeys. They called up a pair of wilds when they got here, doing that 'baby turkey distress call' they do.
I haven't put my feeders out yet, sure hope they bugger off before I do.

Roll, I don't have a farm. I don't have baby turkeys shouting out "distress calls". I live in a residential area. I have no clue why wildlife find our backyard. But they do.

It's amazing

Skunks, ground hogs, wild rabbits, more birds than you can imagine, hawks, falcons, deer and now a wild turkey. I don't get it. There must be some sort of communications in the wildlife that states our backyard is a sanctuary.

I don't mind this visitor but I wish he would poop somewhere else. Man talk about stink. :sick This bird makes some humans smell clean. And I'm talking after a chilli party.

Oh well. It is what it is. :rolleyes:
