Rabbitreport

Elmer doesn't seem to mind the cold (last week we had - 31 one early morning), yesterday was  "warm": - 8, but  -  18 right now again :( . 

My only remaining rabbits :(, Maya (black) and Elmer, sister and brother.

Pretty Maya.


This is what it looked like in the autumn, and these are the rabbits we had at the beginning of this year. I found Leo under our neighbour's car a week ago,. He looked like he was sleeping and I had a hard time believing he was actually dead, since he was still warm and I couldn't see any sign of damage. I don't know what happened, but I think he was pushed by their other car, it had left about twenty minutes before. His girlfriend (and sister) Olga hasn't been seen for a long time, so I'm sure she is dead as well. Maybe he died of a broken heart...Olda was my favorite, since she was so calm, she didn't bother running away when I came close. We were able to pat her, the others mostly run away, unless I have food, then they might allow me to touch them when they're busy eating.

Even if I knew this would happen, I still miss seeing them in my yard. Olga and Leo as well, were more "sociable" than their parents Maya and Elmer. But I hope they'll survive the winter and move into Leo's territory behind our barn - there they wouldn't disturb our neighbour and could live a nice rabbit life in the grass and have shelter underneath the barn.

R.I.P in rabbit heaven, Olga and Leo
