Well, after we got the new bunny barn all completed my husband commented that he didn't have a rabbit of his own. Now, I couldn't let that be, could I? :mrgreen: So, my oldest son and I bought him a Flemish doe! After all, Monty, our Flemish buck does need a girlfriend. ;) She is 7 weeks old and is quite sweet. My husband named her Mandolin. Seems as if Rabbitosis Aquirosis is contagious, and that's beneficial for me! LOL :lol:


On a side note...my 5 year old was convinced that Monty, a frosty Flemish Giant, was in fact a Frost Giant. He obviously has seen the movie Thor. LOL We've gotten a lot of laughs out of that one. :lol:

Haha! Yeah, he really had to talk me into it! LOL

He was so sweet though when he was picking her out. He took a long time deciding between her and her sister. He ended up choosing the larger of the two based on her personality. The breeder told me her grandfather weighed 24 pounds! I was able to see her mother, and I don't know what she weighed but she was enormous! Our buck is on the small side...last time I weighed him he was only 12 pounds. Apparently he had been the runt, because I believe that his grandparents were in the 25 pound range. Monty is 14 months old now, and the breeder we got Mandolin from said that his Flemish take a full 18 months sometimes to reach full size. So maybe Monty will get a little bigger yet.
 
:lol: Well, now that you have succeeded in infecting your husband, you shouldn't have to worry at all about him asking you to downsize! :p
 
I see an even larger facility in the future!!! Love it when the whole family gets involved in an activity... it fosters the ties that help us all survive....
