People in this forum may remember that I bonded my friend's four rabbits recently. I have my own trio but wished for my own quartett after my friend's rabbits left bonded. In my trio Lint is the third wheel, he's also the smallest of my three, a mini rex. So my friend got me a mini rex kit on Sunday. -- I had to stretch the pet quota in my house but I am keeping him. My friend said if I couldn't she would love to have him since the quartett is more her husband's than hers.

This mini rex kit is from a decent breeder (apparently she will take back a rabbit if it ever needed a new home), my first non-rescue rabbit, and just 12 weeks old. His name is Neigey, like french for snow 'neige'-y.

He is my 'only bunny' right now... and I am loving it.

I took some photos of him in the snow. (winter is already here and my patio is basically closed for rabbits )

Sarita, that must be why Neigey has no idea where to potty... I will ask my friend if she saw litter boxes where she got him. Valmore and his sisters of course came from KK's rescue and for sure had boxes from the start.

I made a bunnydate with Lint and Neigey first before deciding on Neigey. Granted, he's so young but I wanted to take advantage of this time before he matures. The date went well, Lint was calm and not wide-eyed or tense. Neigey was scared which helped.

Oh, Jersey and Mimz, that's funny that you call him 'Snowball'. That was going to be his name at first but I changed my mind.

The first 2 pics are FAR too scary to look at for long.

*cowers away from the scary evil snow*

Snow is evil. KILL IT !

Very handsome bunbun, wouldn't he just look adorable with a Monkey beside him? One pure white, one all black... <3

Well, Monkey, I'm not complaining yet... it's only a little below freezing. (I'm saving that for when Fahrenheit and Celsius meet) -- The snow makes nice photos.

Neigey is growing of course, so I try to take lots of pictures.

He is already looking like a little buck.

Thanks, Beka. These clips are for you then (and Mike? )

-- I'm really happy I am getting to keep Neigey. I was feeling very meek about him being here... When I adopted Deirdra her size was such a shocker to my boyfriend and then she got even bigger. It helps that Neigey is small, white and rexed, you know what I mean.

MonkeyB, I think you have a love-hate relationship with Canada...

 Wait, aren't you in Oregon?  How can they not have Kokanee?  I'm from Washington State, Eastside, and Kokanee was a staple of the diet there.  

SO CUTE. sigh...

I love the super soft wrinkled fur behind bunny ears too... is this your first rex? They are just so amazingly soft... Are you sure he's a mini and not a standard, he looks bigger than Mead was at 4 months... and those ears are SO expressive!

I had to show Mike the dog video... he wants a dog BAD... but of course we have the whole "must love rabbits" dilemma...

My bunny Lint is a mini rex, too.

The breeder said that Neigey shouldn't exceed 4 lbs. Maybe he seems bigger in photos. ? Will see. I would prefer if he stayed small.

My male dog loves all the rabbits. When he is bored and it's too cold to go outside he watches them for hours. My female doesn't care for them much. I had a couple of fancy mice before I had rabbits and my dog loved those too. They were the size of his nose.
