Rescued Rabbits

Last Friday I received an email from the breeder I bought my English angoras from two years ago.  She saw two of her rabbits listed on an internet classified ad that were being given away because the person could no longer take care of them and they lived in the same general area as we do.  I picked them up the same day and brought them home...which meant a total re-arrangement of rabbit living quarters!

Iccarus, above, needed some serious help.  His hair was so matted to his legs and chest that I couldn't feel his bones beneath the hair.  He had to be shaved from his feet across his chest and down his other leg.  He took it all pretty well and is a very sweet boy. (I had to buff up on my Greek mythology to figure out his name)

Dalilah is a very sweet english doe, who looks much like our buck Blackberry Jellybean. Her fur wasn't in bad shape at all.  Both of them appear to be in very good health and are well socialized...they just didn't get groomed much.  Lila is thrilled that the name she came with is so similar to hers....  Both of thee pictures were taken when they were younger and no so, ahem, bald as they are now....
