Hi there! My name is Christine, and I quite recently fell head-over-heels for a rabbit at our local Humane Society. To be perfectly honest, I never had any interest in adopting a rabbit at all. They were one animal that I just never really developed an interest in. I've had cats all of my life (I have one now as well, she is sleeping on the back of the couch) and I never expected that while I was visiting the cute kitties at the shelter, I would start having an interest in rabbits.
It started with a big girl named Darlene. To be honest, I am yet to have a full understanding of the breeds. I'm still learning. But she is very big, and brown, with long ears, and depending on how her head goes, one is always up and one is always down. She seemed so social and I started learning about rabbits after spending a bit of time with her. I still didn't expect to adopt one in the immediate future, though. I mentioned to the woman at the shelter that I was getting interested in bunnies, and she gave me some informational papers. She also introduced me to a strapping fellow named Adicus. I didn't see it coming, I didn't expect it at all, but within five minutes of spending time with him I was in love. According to his papers, and his page on the shelter site, he is a dwarf rex. He's white and black, and when you scratch his rear, he licks the air. He loves parsley and he seems very comfortable with people. He is five years old. Since I met him, I have been researching and learning as much about rabbit care as I can.
I hope to be able to bring him home by April 1st.
I just started a job, otherwise I wouldn't stand a chance financially with adopting him. But I need to save for a couple of weeks. During that time, I will be cleaning, setting up a space for him, and bunny-proofing all of the cords and anything else. I'm also going to build a wooden barrier around my bed so he can't get under it when he is out and about, and I'm going to remove the carpeting in my room, since he is quite a chewer according to the ladies at the shelter. He has been at the shelter since last August, so chances are good that he won't be adopted before I can bring him home. But still, it feels like a race against time. Unfortunately, they can't reserve him for that long. But luckily, I have bare minimum expenses elsewhere right now, since I'm still living at home, so the majority of my next few paychecks will be dedicated as bunny-money. The majority of rabbit-related expenses will be bunny-proofing and living space for him. I'm trying to learn as much as possible, as quickly as possible~
But I really wanted to meet some bunny owners, and hopefully learn some things from real people who love rabbits!
Thanks for reading, I know it kind of became a wall of text. ^-^;
