Hello from Kansas City

[SideShowMom]

Hi, I'm Malinda and I am owned by rabbits. Right now, there are 3 Jersey Woolies and Mr Pants, aka Shadow the Dutch bun in my home. I also have 6 French Angoras hanging out at a friend's while I get a bunny barn built. I had to move last year and nobody likes pets now, so I had to buy a house and it isn't big enough for everyone to be inside with us. They miss me and I miss them. My friend is taking excellent care of them.

I've had rabbits for about 6 years and off and on before that while we figured out how to care for them. Pets were first, for the kids when we moved to a house from a tiny apartment. Then I learned to spin yarn and found a pair of Frenchies nearby. We had had success with Mr Pants for a year, so I tried Lola and Jojo (originally named something else, but Jojo Rabbit had just come out) and they made more. So, then I was buying hay one day at the pet store (before I discovered $17 bales of Timothy at the farm store) and they had 3 fluffs in a pen and $100 each on them. They came home with me and are 4 years old now. (no, I did not pay that much for them, I think I paid 150 for the three.) They are Kamaji, McTwisp and Radar, all boys. Probably culls, but I love them and they give me lovely wool.

I am just posting this pic of Kamaji real quick, need to get on with my day.

So funny and honest. Most of us don't admit our animals own us more than we own them. But so worth it. Rabbits have added so much to my life, I love them. Hope you get them home soon! Welcome

Thank you! You bet, it's one of my favorite fiber to spin!

When I get my act together ... ha ha ... I would like to try my hand at felting with my NZ fur. I used to make felted hats. Silly question but how do you collect enough fur? I am imagining you with a ladyshave in your hand.
