Since I've found out all three of the babies are boys... I've decided to rename Kuromi. His name is Tarragon. It's a dual category spice and herb. Like his dad, Sage. His brother, Saffron is also a spice.
Caitlyn dubbed the twin she's taking home "Popcorn" because they jump around like popcorn.
So we have...
Sage Alexander Phoenix Rose Tarragon Lee Saffron Raphael
Yes. I gave them middle names. Lol.
Still in shock that Saffron is a boy. I was so sure he wasn't. Lol. Glad I double checked at six months. Even if I didn't know what to look for shape wise, I could still tell colour wise. They're all males.
Sadly, I've got a hutch ready to be ordered for the babies, but I'll have to get ANOTHER one shortly after, because Saffron and Tarragon shouldn't be housed together once the hormones kick in and the dominant/territorial behaviours kick in. I've seen rabbits fight and it is brutal. I'd have to get them both fixed. I've seen one unaltered male and one altered male fight before. It was my Sage and my sister's bunno I was babysitting. Sage isn't fixed, obviously, and her bunny was. Her bunny still attacked Sage, latching on to his throat and I had to lightly smack his butt to scare him away. Sage was fine, because I was right there when Ralphie started to tug.
Still. I'm rather happy that Gigi couldn't take Tarragon. He can stay with Saffron until that aggression and territorial comes in. This way, they won't be depressed. Caitlyn has a bunny that popcorn can bond with. So he will be fine, too.
They're six weeks as of tomorrow, technically-- and by April 18th, they'll be ready to be away from their mother. Completely independent and Popcorn will be ready for Caitlyn.
Also. In picture four? The baby started to burrow in the hay and stopped after his head was in. Like he was just done with the day. Goofy little guy.
