Rabbits
These rabbits are company for the guinea pigs. The white ones are albino (they have no pigment), which gives them their white colouring and pink eyes. They all eat special rabbit mix as well as fresh fruit / vegetables. They have their own hutch and an outdoor run they share with the quinea pigs.
Flopsy was given to us, and enjoys visits out with MCFE.
We also obtained two female rabbits from Sparsholt Agricultural College, Magic & Sable. Magic is a real ex-Magic Circle rabbit. Unfortunately, Magic died in 2009 from flystrike but we have since been given two more rabbits which have settled in well (names to be confirmed).
We have recently had two more rabbits join the menagerie - Fluffy is a 4 1/2 year old albino male & Marble is a 1 1/2 year old male. Both have had their little operation, so won't be replacing Gordon as our breeding bucks, but they are very friendly with people and have already been out on MCFE visits. They are not quite so keen on guinea pigs, but we will excuse them that!
Tom & Jerry were the offspring of Gordon (now sadly missed), and were both sold to a residential home where I am sure they will be enjoyed by all. Smudge was from Gordon's last litter and so we have kept him as our breeding buck.
