Breeding Like...

It is early morning.  The rabbits of various sizes are feeding in the yard.  There are more this year, and their sizes vary.  Some are just three weeks old, barely out of the nest.  Others are a month, three months.  I am not seeing too many larger ones this time and I don't know why. I suspect they were hit by cars coming in and out of the community as they are given to erratic behavior.

They can be found on the hill, in the front and now in the herb garden.  I was just about to pick parsley and these little rascals took care of the entire process for me.  They enjoy the coral and gold poppies, too.  Every single one of them.

Large eyes, and a mouth that seems forever chewing, these creatures are amusing.  I remember Robert Rabbitt, a lop earred rabbit my sister-in-law had.  They kept Robert for a long time.  Indoors.  Loose.  One day they arrived home from work to find several electrical cords were chewed.  It went downhill from there.

Robert found a new home on a farm.  They visited him often.  Took him his favorite treats of carrots. I am not too sure there is msuch interaction with a rabbit, but they didn't care.

They just loved him.
