Courtesy of the nice folks at Sunnyside poultry. Welcome to Tikka (the darker one) and Fidget, both Gold Star Rangers. We were going to get an Amber Star as well, but they weren't happy enough with their condition to release them for sale.

It was the girls first day out today, free ranging the garden. Flash rabbit was quick into making introductions, which included a good does of "bunny loving" for Fidget before we chased him off.

They have already worked out that gardening means lots of lovely worms and bugs.

They look lovely! And your garden too by the way! Jealous of your peonies!

[PixieDust]

Beautiful girls, lovely garden and gorgeous bunny - I'm particularly envious of the bun. I looked after one for a year for friends and have fallen in love with bunnies - I never realised just how sociable, smart and funny they could be.

Flash rabbit is about 8 or 9 now, we don't know for sure as we inherited him from a friend who emigrated. Most dwarf lops seem to suffer problems with teeth, ears or eyes and - although we're pretty sure he's deaf - he's not had any other problems at all. He's also hilarious. Loves to play football (he "loves" that as well). He's got a small toy elephant that he runs around with, carrying it in his mouth. He goes in the garage and re-arranges tools when OH is working on his motorbikes. Also likes to shred newspaper and carry it off round the garden and inside the house.

Flash sounds great. Pippi, our guest rabbit, was a great one for accosting cushions, teddies and, according to her owners, an estate agent's feet on one occasion

Yay!

First egg appeared yesterday whilst we were at work. Only about 45mm long so too small for the egg spiral, but perfectly formed. Not sure which one laid it 'cos both were looking smug!

Only when trampling through them to get at something tasty!

Spoke too soon. Bluebells now pretty much trashed, turns out they do like the leaves, but mostly the bugs that like to live around the bottom of the stems...

 

Egg production pretty much went straight to two eggs a day. Mostly between 40 and 50 grammes, until this morning.

No wonder Fidget was making a racket! That's an 80 gram egg, more than 50% bigger than yesterdays!
