  This is what will happen:
  
  back story, I was cleaning the bun’s cage and put them out on the patio while i did so.. leaving them to play in their little garden… I noticed Abbie taking off with some of the plants but it wasnt until a moment later when they were both in the box digging and eating what was left of the garden, shall i share with you what it looked like to begin with?
  
  Needless to say, they had way more of their fair share and I will be going back to the home depot to attempt to replace some of the plants…
  
  They had a field day the rest of the evening cleaning their dirt covered paws… at least i can say they loved digging in the dirt!
  
  then they looked down at me as if to appologize for destroying their plants
  
  Abbie even jumped down to give me a nice nuzzle, look how big she is!
  
  showing how tall she is… thats 1½ 14″grids worth of height… still isnt quite tall enough for her
  
  then of course she killed me with her sweet face and relaxed paws…. “I love you mommy”
  
  (how could you not love that face!!)

  Hmmm….I don’t envy you having to clean their litterboxes tonight! 0_o I think you’re going to find quite the mess in a few hours. ;_;
  
  That many herbs has to lead to some amount of, shall we say, elimination? >.<

  I’m curious Adee, do your bunnies have a particular favorite amongst the herbs? I’d like to get Mimzy interested in eating them, to supplement for more sugary treats, but he’s really picky and won’t even touch mint leaf!

  She is such a lovely bun! And yes, she’s getting to be a big girl! She must be so fun to watch.
  
  And she and Rain are still getting along okay? Wow, I would give anything to have my bunnies get along like that.
  
  Are they free range most of the time? Or do they have ‘their own room’?

  yes, they left me a nice big mess this morning lol… Abbie and Rain still get along amazingly, i dont even know where they stand on the chain of command. they do not have their own room, they have rather large enclosure they spend their days and nights in and in the evenings they get to go out for several hours.
