        Good afternoon, everyone!
        My name is Katie and I’m brand new to raising bunnies. My daughter has been asking for bunnies for over two years now and I finally relented – and I’m so glad I did!
        I adopted Cinnamon and Basil from a shelter after 200+ bunnies were seized from a single residence in an animal hoarding situation. I brought Cinnamon and another bunny home a week and a half ago and sadly, the other bunny passed away on day 3. It was very young and apparently not in good health, even though it showed no signs of distress or illness until the morning it passed
        I went back and adopted Basil so Cinnamon could have a companion and so far, so good.

        This is Cinnamon. I have no idea how old he is because everything from the adoption paperwork, his listing information, shelter volunteer opinions and staff opinions had him as anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months old. I’m pretty sure he’s 5-6 weeks old and a Palomino. (I say “he” loosely because he’s too young to tell definitively.
        He’s very mellow and he loves to be pet. He never misses a chance to lick and reciprocate the grooming. He’s very comfortable here and began flopping on his second day home.

        This is Basil. Now when I say I have no idea how old she is, I really have no idea! Her paperwork has her listed as being 4 weeks old and although she is much smaller than Cinnamon she is much more coordinated. I don’t know if it matters but she can (and will) hop 18″ off the ground out of her playpen, run over slippery hard floor without a problem, do full binkirs and explore bravely. As for her breed, I’m just as clueless. I thought she was a standard chinchilla but her face and body shape suggest she may be a dwarf mix. What do you think?
        She is very high energy compared to Cinnamon but she too loves pets and she flops whenever, wherever.

                I can’t figure out how to insert pictures on here. I followed all of the steps in my original message and apparently that didn’t work.
                I’m on my phone, so I wonder if I need to do it from a computer… I haven’t dealt with HTML since I had a MySpace account. Ha ha…

                  MazzyStar, I fixed the pictures for you. You can upload from a phone like you did but then you need to edit the post after, and I think you need to do that from a computer. It’s very simple though, you just click the edit-button and your pix magically appear, then you click “submit”.

                  Why this is so is not (yet?) known to man.

                  I must say, your buns are GORGEOUS!!!

                      Thank you, bam!
                      I’m hoping that someone may be able to help identify what breed Basil is now that everyone can see her

                          I’m taking them to the vet next week and hopefully I can get a definitive answer regarding the age and gender of the bunnies. Once that’s done I’ll schedule their spay/neuter appointments and have them separated when the time comes if need be. I’m not even about to have an oops litter and raise more buns! These two are more than enough work!

                                OK Mazzy – that’s great

                                If you could rename them too just to help little ‘ole me, like a proper girls name and a proper boys name, like Johnny and Deliah !!
                                That’d be great too !!

                                  Vienna, might not end up being an issue if at the vet Cinnamon ends up being a girl . If that’s the case Mazzy, I think you can still call him (or her) Cinnamon .

                                    Oh, Vienna… For now on I’ll refer to them as Mister Cinnamon and Lady Basil – just for you!
                                    I tried going with gender neutral(ish) names. The original pair were Cinnamon and Biscuit. When we got Lady Basil my son and I went through so many names and Basil was the only one he’d agree to. If she turns out to be a he, he’s pushing to change the name to Bilbo since it’s a dwarf sized bunny and their favorite spot is a wicker tunnel that looks like a hobbit house
