Not One, Not Two But Seven Rabbits!!

A very unorganized evening produced the increase of my "flock" of critters, with rabbits! I got seven rabbits at 5 and 7 dollars apiece (depending on size) and brought them home in a laundry hamper. There are 4 black ones that are a California/Chinchilla cross, 2 brown ones that are New Zealand/Californian cross and one white one that is pure Californian. The ride home was uneventful, and I decided they would stay in the garage for the first couple of days while I introduce grass into their diets. They are on pellets right now, so if I put the grass right to them they would get diarrhea. I had a dog crate that's bars were about 2"x4" that I thought I would use for keeping them until they were ready to go out, but I clearly underestimated their size, based on their fur. I got them all in then took a count and I was one short, one had escaped right through the bars! So some temporary  modifications were made until we got a proper rabbit cage (fortunately that was within an hour of getting the rabbits). They settled in just fine, playing together, snuggling and eating hay like its going out of style. They have two small animal water bottles that they were already used to drinking from. Oh, I forgot to mention, these are all meat rabbits - and destined for dinner (in 3 months)!
