In response to everyone's questions in the comments about Peaches the rabbit, we estimate she is about 12 lbs. I do think she is done growing at 1 1/2 years old although the dewlap under her chin may get larger. Actually she may lose a bit of weight now that she is not caged and gets to run around more and joyfully hurl her huge body through space at 3 am.



I just took another roll of film with her and Jack the cat together so you can get a better idea of her size. Her coloring is called agouti and is indeed the same as wild rabbits. Indoor rabbits can make good pets and use litter boxes - for more information, see if your local library has a copy of the House Rabbit Handbook: How to Live with an Urban Rabbit by Marinell Hariman, Drollery Press. It is the bible on house rabbits and is full of wonderful photos of rabbits getting into all sorts of things.



Tomorrow I'll announce the winner of the Christmas stocking booklet and show you a picture of the Piecework Poetry mittens in progress.
