Miracle of life...or curse?

Hi again!

As those who read my Bully Breed Buddies Blog know, one week ago I brought a rabbit home that I got from someone on Freecycle. They thought it was a little girl rabbit but well, it wasn't. It's a boy! I didn't find this out until after he had spent the whole day with our two females in their free run room. He has DEFINITELY mated with one of the females (that's how I found out he was male, lol) but I am not sure of the other. We have named him Cupid in honor of the time of year, AND his favorite pasttime!

So chances are almost 100 percent that we are going to have little baby bunnies running around in just a few more months. It takes about thirty days for the pregnancy but they do not leave the nest until about two weeks of age.

Normally I do not find myself in this kind of situation. All our dogs and cats are spayed or neutered and if I had thought to double check the new rabbit he would NOT have had access to our females. I don't agree with breeding random animals, especially when I'm not ready for them! I do have to admit though, even though I'm upset and nervous that this is happening, I'm also a little excited to have the miracle of life happening in my home.

lol, if it can't be me breeding like a rabbit, it might as well be my rabbit right?????
