We got our 2 Lionhead girls from a petstore, butwe consider them to be rescues all the same. They were in thepetstore for 6 months waiting for someone to save them...that wasus. Our Loppy girl Butters had died the night before andbeingour only bunn at the time...I was sppending the next day skulkingaround petstores being depressed. I saw this littleaquarium(glassed in cage) with two of the fuzziest blackbunns. They were being sold for $150.00each!:shock: The girl told me that they had come to the storewhen they were 8 weeks old or so and then put out in the middle of theaisle in an aquarium. Of course they were prodded and pokedand bugged to the point where the bigger female started to bitepeople. They were afraid that she would bite a little kid sothe two were sent to the bottom shelf of the small animal section in a18 inch by 24inch cage. The bedding was I think what you'dcall Carefresh if I am right...but it was so dusty! Thesmallest one had been sick for about 4 months but the petstore vet toldthem she was fine not to worry. Eventually by the time Ifound them she was so sick her nose was crusted with green/yellow mucusand she was stick thin. She was almost cold to the touch andwheezed. They had decided she was probably a goner so offeredme a 2 for deal. Still...try to phone your hubby and tell himthat you got a great deal for $150.00 for two rabbits....when you knowthe humane society charges $16, includingtax!:shock: Still Tony said he would take a lookafter work...so they held them for us and I dragged Tony to the (out oftown) petstore. He took one look at Peppers (the sick one)told me to pack them up while he paid. He was somad!:X He couldn't believe anyone would leave any animal inthat condition! We called the vet on the way home to bookthem in the next day for a full check up. Over the next 2days we almost lost Peppers twice...she was so sick!Eventually she got better and stronger...but she has always beenindependant and offish! I always think of her as being alittle like Sas's Pipp! 
It was Sas's idea to puther in a seperate smaller room that made a world of difference in herattitude! She is the submissive doe of 3 bunns, but hads themost territory issues!
Peppers sister Skittles, was perfectly healthy...but she was thebiter! The first thing she did once we got her home was tobite me so badly she got me almost to the bone. I didn't yellor say anything. I just took my extrememly sore, yet bloodyfingerand left quietly. It was the only time sheever bit me. We agreed to be very wary around one anotherthough. She is the dominant of the 3 bonded bunns.And is def the queen! She is much calmer and can be veryloving and friendly. I live for the days she decides to graceme with a kiss! Those are the days that amek all the othersworthwhile!
Of our 5 bunns these two are the ones who are themost problematic...butI couldn't imagine life without them! They keepthings interesting!
This is Peppers the angry bunn!
