My food is cuter than your food
Last week one of our bunnies gave birth to four babies. One was dead in the morning, still so warm I wanted to shake it awake. I laid him into our compost pile with a now familiar blessing:
I return you to the earth,
and I will see you again.
The three rabbits that survived the first night are now recognizable as rabbits:
Market weight for a rabbit is 4.5 to 5 lbs. This takes 8 to 11 weeks, meaning this little guy will be suitable for slaughter in September or October. I'm sure I'll have a lot to talk about between now and then.
