Hercules

After Trouble died, I decided to fix the cage to make it a little more comfortable.  I tore off the wire top and made a lid out of the same exterior siding that we’d used for the house.  I also drilled extra ventilation holes in the side of the house itself.  (Thanks to mom, for bringing me the piece of exterior siding, and to dad, for cutting it for me – it was just the right size!)

Then we went to the store (the only store around here) that sells rabbits.  I found this adorable little boy, and since he’s really my rabbit  (sure, it’s our family pet, but who’s going to be taking care of him?) I got to pick which one.  He’s a mix breed, so there’s no telling how big he’s gonna get.  We think he must have some lop in him, because his ears fall down every so often, and some of his litter mates had really loppy ears.

It took Trouble a few hours before he went in the rabbit house, but this little guy hopped right in there, first thing.

And he surprised both me and C by hopping up on top of the roof, no problem!

The girls don’t approve of any of the names I come up with, but we’ve finally settled on Hercules.  Welcome to the family, Hercules!
