Funny Acres - Maximum Gratification

When we first bought this place a few years ago, Tammy brought her lone horse and all of her rabbits out from the Southwest, not a small undertaking! Unfortunately, we didn't have rabbit cages ready to house her herd yet, so we got the bright idea that we could put all of the males in one horse stall and all of the females in a stall several stalls away. The idea worked. They all had room to romp around in security after being couped up on the road trip and we had time to get some new cages.

On day two, all was well. The bunnies were all content and enjoying the legroom. What could go wrong?

On day three, we found out. It seems that our industrious hares had been quietly tunneling between stalls until they finally reached one another. When Tammy discovered this, she was in tears. I wondered what had upset her so much so I ventured out to the barn and saw the males and females all mixed together, laying on their backs and smoking cigarettes. They were some mighty content bunnies!

Fortunately the cages arrived on day four and all we could do was wait to see what nature would do next. By some odd circumstance, not one rabbit got pregnant after all of that 'fun'. While they achieved maximum gratification, they fortunately didn't create any new bunnies that Tammy couldn't track with her controlled breeding.

But I'll never forget the sight of 40+ bunnies laying around in various poses of contentment.
