A Walk Through Moonwood

A note about this blog:
Just how *do* you go about getting into the alpaca lifestyle when it seems near impossible due to lack of funds or lack of a farm? How on earth do you learn to care for these tranquil creatures once you get them home? This journal documents how we started from the ground up with next to no funds and no knowledge, and how, with the help of very supportive breeders and friends, it is possible to make a dream come true! Join me on this very honest and personal journey. ~Roo~

Wild Baby Bunnies - 10 days old

Posted by roo on June 18th, 2010 — Posted in Bunnies

The bunnies, now that their eyes are open, are EXTRA bouncy, and are able to hop straight into the air at great heights in reaction to being startled. So to keep them safe during photographing I set them on a towel rather than run the risk of one of them jumping out of our hands suddenly and plunging to the ground. My husband came out today to help as we were in a great hurry - the afternoon had been rushed, dinner already cooked, it had been raining quite a bit, and it was quite late, so we wanted to make it a quick photo session. The bunnies however, were very aware that there was a ’strange’ person there. They are able to raise their ears into the air now, and have a lot more head control, they are beginning to walk now, rather than push themselves along like seals. Soon they will be venturing out of the nest by themselves and I’ll need to worry about predators.
