Merlin and Morgana

(Our nicknames for Tufty and Blue!)

Merlin and Morgana are our two rabbits (Merlin is on the left). They arrived from CottonTails late last year (2009) and we adore them!

Merlin is rather a large rabbit - our neighbour calls him "The WereRabbit"! He is though, with his lion like mane, rather a handsome chap! Despite being smaller, Morgana is definitely the boss! Merlin follows her wherever she goes.

Their 'given' names were Tufty and Blue and they found themselves at CottonTails when their owners moved to France. We've nicknamed them Merlin and Morgana (yes we're big fans of the BBC Merlin Series!)

The hutch came from The Happy Hutch Company and we are really pleased with it. That patio had to be laid especially for them and the run was made over many long evenings! The roof sections lift to allow easy access to the run and hutch.

There's a movie for you to have a look at here! (25Mb - Right click and select 'Save Target As' if you have problems viewing it directly)

In this winter's snow, they were wrapped up with a (new) duvet and a sleeping bag with a night storage heater brick warmed in the oven and placed in the hutch overnight. Spoilt rotten! (But they're worth it!)

Keep coming back for more updates - the next phase is a run on the lawn for the summer!
