Baby Bunnies!

For Easter the girls got baby bunnies. They are our first pet and the kids LOVE them. I LOVE them, they are very easy compared to other pets. For instance, they have a hutch outside which they stay in except for after school when the kids get them out to cuddle for a few hours. I clean the cage about once/ fortnight and I refill their food bowls about once a week. They are potty trained (they go in a little box) and they don't make any noise :-) Does it get any better?
 This is Chloe- she belongs to Mary
 And this is Patches-she is Olivia's
 Here are some candid pictures we have taken of the bunnies!
 Thomas LOVES the bunnies too but can hold on a little too tight
 When Mary has the bunnies she puts them in her doll house and she plays with them
 Studies show kids benefit greatly from pets on many levels psychologically. While Stan and I are not "pet people" bunnies seem to be the perfect compromise for us and the kids.

These are so cute! We may need to get some once we move back home. I'll be interested to hear what you think after you have had them for a bit!
