ILoveBunnies and I cleaned the rabbitry today. We regularly sweep the chutes, but it's been a while since they were rinsed off. My beloved Shay :lovers: had rinsed them several times, but, with his work schedule, I hated to ask him. So I decided to do it myself.
Well, I don't know how he does it, but he only gets the bunnies' feet wet. Not me. No matter how careful I was, no matter what setting I used on the sprayer, I just could not seem to keep those rabbits dry! I got water all over them -- not so bad that they were soaked, or dripping wet, but enough to make the outside of their coats of fur pointy.
The adults bathed like crazy, like cats do when they get wet, and ILoveBunnies picked up each of our dozen 6-week-olds and rubbed them all dry, as well as she could. She really hated that job. Okay, she didn't. That child will find any excuse to hold a baby bunny!
Are they going to be alright? It's been around 60* today, and it supposed to be in the low 50s by 6:00pm, and the mid- to upper 40s by 9:00pm, bottoming out in the upper 30s to around 40* tonight.
Shay's doing it from now on! Sorry, Shay!
