The rabbits next door I

13/07/2017 5:00pm. Three rabbits moved in. Mr. Raj, the 'boss' I call him, gifted them to me.

They had no names so I just call them the rabbits next door, a male and two females.

 

The rabbits wore an all white shade and had pink/ruby coloured eyes. These rabbits were really big, joke aside. Their muscular thighs, broad heads, long ears and clean white fur made them adorable like the white boss from whom I received them. Except, they were not bossing anybody here.

 

The room has ample space, windows for ventilation, two light bulbs, a sink and water supply. I had also brought in three 40" x 40" wire hutches, feeding/drinking bowls, three collection trays, a stand for the cages and collection trays, hay and pellets few days before the rabbits arrived. The supplies cost me roughly N18000.

 

Before then, the room has been left unoccupied. I had the room thoroughly  cleaned and arranged the supplies the morning of the day I received the rabbits.

 

I also made sure no strong smelling chemical was used in the room. And the pellets and hay were packed and stored in a cupboard that stood on one corner of the room.

 

Shortly after dropping them, the rabbits became preoccupied with possessing and marking the entire room. The first female peed on the foot mat sitting in front of the door, while the second one got busy dropping on the concrete floor hard pellets from her backside. The male thumped from one corner of the room to another while nosing/chinning at any object on its way.

 

"Strange neighbors" I sighed, closed the door and went back to my room.
