When 2 becomes 3

And I ain't talking about a baby. Some of you may know that I've been working for a long time to have some angora rabbits in my apartment. Now it's getting really close, and I can't wait to expand my little family. The first one will be a little over a year female rabbit with a silky and good wool. She sounds like a great addition for the family.
I'm going to pick her up tomorrow, pretty excited about it. I hope the deal go as pain free as possible. The lady I've been emailing sounded like a great woman, so I feel good about it all.
So today I've been making a cozy little home for Leia, the rabbit. A tunnel from Tunnel Haven, a litterbox, two hay racks of wood... Not that big, but it's a okay starting point. I'll post a picture down below.
Beethoven found the tunnel to be really interesting, been crawling through it and explored it to the fullest. Almost like I would like to get one for him too. But it should have been slightly bigger if that's the case. It's a little small for him.

I'm so excited about it all. I'm eager to learn more on these beautiful creatures, since I personally doesn't know much about them. Just the last year or so I started with research and studying them. Not just about them, but I've never drafted wool before, and it would be interesting to see the process in action from the rabbit to the final product. Maybe it won't turn out great to start with, but it's a learning process on everything.
I'm looking for a male rabbit as well, but so far I haven't been as lucky to find one. I think I'll have to travel south in the country to find one. For now, I'll just settle with the female and try to learn as much as possible from her.
