Working
with rabbits produces a number of surprises, from intakes that are
“definitely a girl”, to suddenly falling in or out of love for no
apparent reason, to that moment when you turn around and the rabbit
watching you from the next aviary is not the round black one you were
expecting.
It's
not often I see one of the rescue's real wildies. While the
hand-reared trio are often out and about, the girls who are bonded to
domestic rabbits have a tendency to disappear at the drop of a hat
and hide all day. To turn around and have Odyssey not only in the
open but actually allowing me to take photos of her (albeit at a distance) was a pleasing
moment and I hope it wasn't a one off!

don't know why you are acting like that, I do live here too you
know.”
