Awww <3
Leah, if you don’t mind me asking, whats their story? Are they rescues?I wish they were rescues >> Frank just jumped on the keyboard and added these >>
His mom was free from a breeder because she wasn’t show quality. My friend and I were actually at a goat sale but she ended up taking home this “free bunny” now known as Frank Sr. I discouraged it because I really don’t like “caged” animals. But she couldn’t resist the cuteness *sigh* Then she found another dutch bunny at a feed store and fell in love with him. **doube sigh** And she put them in the same cage. I don’t think she has outrightly admiditted it to me because she knows I won’t approve, but she wanted cute baby bunnies.
She was busy for a few days when the babies that needed bottling were brand new, so I started feeding them. And here we are today. I have told her that I cannot handle more bunnies (of course I LOVE f.j. but it has been a stressful 6 weeks!) and she needs to get them fixed. She did call around for prices and the vets here chage $350+ for spay and $300 for neuter. The vets around here are not especially bunny savvy either. I’m considering looking out-of-town to see if I can find someone with more experience that can do it for cheaper. If I can find someone who will fix them for under $100, I will gladly pay to have her bunnies fixed.
So there’s the story. I wish it wasn’t about irresponsible breeding

Oh that is sad
Especially since Frank jr is having to pay for it (although you are doing an amazing job! He seems really happy, the little mush <3) You might look to give them to a rescue and maybe you can volunteer to foster them until they find new homes? While it would be unfortunate to load rescues up with more, they often get steeply discounted prices on alterations. Of course your friend wont get to keep any of the ones the rescue takes.
Are you keeping Frank jr?
