New Bunnies!

Mood: Happy

Yay! I`ve got 2 new bunnies!

Me and Vinnie II were looking for new bunnies from the pet stores in a neighbor town, but it was surprising to notice how expensive they nowadays are. In 1 store they were selling mixed race lion-hair bunnies for 45?(/$), 1 store didn`t have bunnies publicly avaible but the owner would have had 1 bunny with hanging ears for sale. Price would have been 60?(/$). The third store was selling ordinary bunnies for the price of 30?(/$), tiny races for 45?(/$) and special races for 51?(/$), and I was thinking "Holy loony mouse! Massive inflation at the bunny-prices!" Y`see, 8 years ago we paid from our first bunny only 3,20?(/$) and when we took Pupuliina`s 4 siblings to 1 petstore in a different town than the one from where her mother was bought from, the price of the bunnies which were for sale was ca. 8,20?(/$) per bunny.

I was totally shocked by the high prices at the pet stores, especially when used to that fact that at countryside people give often their rabbits away for free. I was also totally upset about the lousy service at 1 pet store and I was already somewhat ready to say "Ok, no bunnies for me anymore." Fortunately my dad`s contacts came into the picture and he called to me and gave me a number of somebody who didn`t live that much distant from my place, to have some bunnies to give. I called to that person and first he was a bit of willing to give just 1 rabbit but then after discussing with his children, he agreed to give 2.

So, that meant me and Vinnie II drove to that place and found a vivid, very much human-loving mother bunny with 4 cubs of hers. 2 of the children were from her earlier set and the smallest 2 were approximately 2 months old already. We took 2 black cubs, 1 from the new bunch and the another 1 from the previous bunch. The older bunny has a nice little "collar" from the white fur and her nose is also white. She also has white "kneesocks" on her front paws and a little bit of white also on her backfeet. The younger one is almost completely black, except the white "anklesocks" on the front paws. We tried to choose 2 females, but when I re-checked at my place I notices that we had accidentally gotten a boy and a girl instead of 2 girls. Well... That means a visit to the vet. After all we don`t want them to start to make babies. Eww! They`re sibling after all!

Well... You`re probably curious to know the names of these two jumpers, so here they come:

The older female: Raisa Puputti

The younger female: Pipsa Puputti
