My new hare! :D

[Zab]

Now I have him! My new hare! He makes me happy.

I had read about belgian hares that they're temperamental, easily spooked and stressful (why did I want one anyway? :? ) but he's SOOOOO sweat! I'm gonna call him Sir Pet-a-lot. He's even cuddlier than Kori! :O

And so pretty! Smaller than I thought (I had no sense of size on them xD I knew the weight but not how big that would be in a slim body.. :lol: )

Here he is in his quarantine cage

I plan to take more pictures tomorow Better quality.

He's very handsome!

:congratulations:

I can't wait to see him romping around.

 

[Zab]

Thank you

I wonder how he'll react to a harness.. I think he'll accept it just fine..

 

[Mickey328]

[Silver Willow]

:congratulations: He's beautiful! I've always loved belgain hares.
I wonder if you can get them in NZ :mrgreen:

 

[Zab]

... I want to keep him indoors as a pet.

 

[LilacGal]

:congratulations:

He looks like a sweetie!

 

[Cspr]

Awww, he's so cute! Good luck with him. ...Are there rabbit hopping competitions in his future?

 

[CochinBrahmaLover]

He's so cute!

Ok, ignorant question :?, are belgian hares just the name of the rabbit, like silver foxes are a rabbit not a fox :lol: ? So he's a rabbit, not an actual hare?

 

[Zab]

Haha, maybe I'll try jumping him.. xD

CochinBrahmaLover: Yes, Belgian hares are rabbits
Otherwise I'd have no luck crossbreeding like I plan to :lol:

I'm so happy to have found this breeder. She has calm, lovely rabbits of all the right breeds she's nearby and she was really nice. I may end up getting more stock from her..<br /><br />__________ Sun Nov 10, 2013 4:48 am __________<br /><br />Oooh I love this rabbit!
He needed a nail-trim (the breeder offered to do it there and then but we figured I could just as well do it today or tomorrow) and he was just like "Ok stranger.. you're picking me up and cutting my feet? Sure, I'll just rlax here in the meanwhile." :in_love: Then with his newly trimmed feet he hopped a bit oddly and shook them, like "hm.. this feels weird.." :lol:

I'm in love with this hare. I think I need more hares. I think I'll place doelings with him after weaning, so he can teach them how to behave. :?

For being a hare though, he has quite the resemblene of a beagle.

I love his colour, and muscles, and temprament and size and eyes.. the colour loving may be because I'm sooo bored of black-only rabbits :lol: but he's pretty.. and soft, and shiny..

(ooh, a hole! I can see my cage from here!)

 

[Miss M]

oooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo... what a handsome boy!

 

[Marinea]

What an incredibly handsome rabbit he is!

Congrats! And congrats to Sir Pet-a-Lot for being lucky enough to wind up with Zab.

Naw, thanks

Yesterday I made a floor to the ''free range'' pen (which will be the free range pen.)This is relevant to Petalot because Kori and the girls will move out here soonish and first then can Peta move into Koris cage

hehe, It's a ''Gawd I just wanna be done with it already!"-work. Wood for some (I plan to make/place a house with a waterproof roof under the open part of the roof. So they can get sun when it's sunny and sit in the house if it rains.) I'm concidering to pour concrete between the bricks and the stones. My main purpose of the floor is that we have clay soil and like three rainy seasons in a year. this way they won't get muddy and dirty. There is already a wire beneth everything.

One picture is from the door, the other from the other side of the pen.
