we have added a third bunny to the family! on tuesday night we went to eindhoven to go meet his mommy and bunny family and bring him home with us. he is really tiny, only 10 or 11 weeks old. and his ears are huge for his little head. he likes to hop around and stand on his hind legs. he also likes to pee on me. he's done it twice already in the first two days. i'm very cautious about holding him now! he's in his own cage now, but we hope to eventually bond him with rosie and japie in the coming months so they can all cuddle together. but for now, rosie, the 'royal highness', is very spastic and any time the little one hops by her cage she goes crazy. this upsets japie, and he goes towards her, but she assumes this is him going to attack her, so they end up chasing each other in circles and fighting in their cage....just because of a little bunny. he on the other hand, is quite calm and very socialable. he came from a very nice bunny family and loving human family. i felt a bit sad when leaving his former family's house, separating him from his parents and brothers and his human mom. but i hope he will be just as happy with us here.

and most imporantly, his name...we haven't named him yet. we can't decide between 2 names...but we just keep calling him 'little one' or 'kleintje' or 'stampertje' (his daddy's name)....we can't decide between Hazel (the leader in the story 'watership down') or Bram (and call him brammy or brammertje). Bram seems more fitting to me. I also liked the name Bongo, but someone else doesn't.
