So a little about Peaches: Peaches was born on July 1, 2011. She is an American Fuzzy Lop, Tortoise Shell color.... just like Kiwi. Since she is a show quality bunny, she has a pedigree. Her parent bunnies are Sire: Murphy's Melvin, Dam: Hares from Heaven Zoe.
Peaches is a sweet, not so little compared to Kiwi, bunny. It's so funny the size difference! She is a chow hound bunny. I've seen a big difference in Kiwi too. It's like she is teaching Kiwi different things to do. Peaches is a chewy bunny. Loves to chew the baskets ad mats up. I noticed the hanging hay balls and hay tubes go empty overnight since Peaches came to us. I also bought a bag of rolled oats yesterday. After Dyan, the bunny breeder, explained to me exactly what and where to get rolled oats. Kiwi just LOVES them. She has been munching down on them. Haven't seen Peaches nibbling them yet but I'm sure she is.
Peaches is just like Kiwi where she doesn't like to be picked up, or I should say the picking up process. Dyan told me that most bunnies don't. BUT she does like to be held..... as long as you hold her, she will lay there. She likes to be combed, and sometimes even lays down when you pet or comb her.
She's not too much of an explorer of the room yet, but shes getting there. Kiwi started out slow too, but now runs all over. She loves the bunny run outside of the cage and runs up and down in there. She's a great jumper, and can jump really far!
She still isn't approaching me on her own yet when she's running in the room. Not worried about it because thats how Kiwi was at first too. Now Kiwi regularily hops over to me to get a little lovin' !
Pictures later!
