Snowy videos from Mabel and Dijon's early days

First, a video from 2011… and a big wee in the snow by Dijon. The little girl keeping up the supply of snow for them is now 15yrs old – Dijon saw her through nursery, the whole of primary school, and most of secondary school. 

This was before the bunnies had a run set up around the patio doors – back then, we had to place them in the run for outdoor time, whereas now they can choose where they want to be, which is far better (not for us – we must freeze when they ask for the patio doors to be open in winter).

 

Next, a video from January 2013 – Dijon was far more ‘yellow’ when he was little, and his markings sharper. By the time he reached 12, he was greying and his blaze was wobbly, but in our eyes he was far more handsome than a pedigree Dutch.
Look out for him doing another wee in the snow, near the start!! By this time they had their run on the patio, so we had the patio door open for them despite freezing temperatures, and we were shovelling snow into their pen to keep them entertained… but it was worth it!
