Shortly after we acquired the chickens, our neighbors found a bunny wandering around the neighborhood. Because they couldn't keep him, they gave him to us. After having Oreo for about a year and moving to a new property, I soon added more rabbits to the mix, mostly so we could use their young for meat but also to sell them as pets or breederss. 
After three or four years of being in the rabbit business, I sold them off. Shortly thereafter, my mom commented one day that she'd like to have a few rabbits to raise again so, for Mother's Day, my siblings and I bought her a pair of purebred Californians which she named Nellie and Olson. For now, she just raises them for pleasure. 
After two years of buying and selling adults, she is pleased with the adults she has now. Some rabbits just have bad temperaments, the main reason I'd gotten out of the business. This is one of Pearl's kits. 
Big Mama, who has yet to be a mama with us, is pictured below. The name suits her perfectly though. 
Pumpkin, a bunny some other neighbors gave us because their friends were moving and couldn't take her with, is a sweet little Lionhead. 
Here is Nellie with the only kit she kindled a few weeks ago.
And next are Maisie's three little cuties.
I don't have a good photo of Mom's newest rabbit buck; he hasn't got a name just yet either. So, I will post, instead, a photo of Olson.
