gulp

We could have had.... (hold on, let me get a calculator)...19 rabbits. Nineteen. Niner+teen. Do you get that number?
Saturday morning Tyler ran in terrified because there were "alien babies on the patio". We ran out and there were 8 cold "passed on" rabbits. It happened again yesterday morning with the other female adult rabbit. Apparently they came to us pregnant and we had no idea. They had their babies and created a VERY heartsick family (us) because the babies fell through the cage and didn't make it because the mommas couldn't get to them. We feel so terrible and hoped they didn't suffer too much.
Rabbits are busy.
(I might be a little grateful that this is the way mother nature worked. Just a little. Don't tell.)

We are responsible animal owners and are going to separate all of them and give the male away. Anyone? Anyone?
