Haley, what a beautiful Bunny. So are you going to keep her? A girlfriend for Basil and Max!

Susan:bunnydance:

 

[MyBabyBunnies]

I agree... why not make it 5?! LOL. She is super cute and looks so sweet!

 

[Michaela]

Yeah come on Haley, what&#39;s one more!I think 5 is the perfect number of bunnies

That&#39;s a great video of Raven, she&#39;s soo beautiful:bunnyheart

 

[naturestee]

Great video! She&#39;s such a lovely girl. I was thinking the same thing as the other girls, why not bond her with Max and Basil?

I think Oberon&#39;s in love.:bunnyheart

 

[Michaela]

Oberon and Raven would look great together!:bunnyheart Take it from me, a black bunny and a white bunny together looks so cute!! They&#39;re like opposites!

 

[naturestee]

Oh I know, Michaela! Julie, from SRR who I&#39;m fostering Oberon for, has a beautiful black New Zealand girl. She&#39;s actually one I had been mooning over when I was looking for a boyfriend for Mocha almost two years ago. Maybe if he doesn&#39;t work out here I can convince her to try them as a pair. Doubtful as she has a very full house, but always worth a try!

 

[Haley]

I really wish I could keep her, but I just cant. :sad:

It breaks my heart because she was turned looseon the streets of Ann Arbor and is terrified of people. She has really opened up to me and it kills me to have to take her back.

But Max is still pretty sick and I just dont want to upset him at all.

don&#39;t feel bad haley if you can&#39;t keep her, just remember that you are giving her time in a loving home and that you are helping adjust her into a bunny that isn&#39;t afraid of people and it will help herfind a new great home that will love her forever. you know when another rabbit is simply going to be to much to take on, and right now you are giving her something that many shelter buns don&#39;t get: a chance to see that there is more then hate and pain in this world. . .that there is someone out there that cares about them.

 

[maherwoman]

Oh, I completely agree...

Don&#39;t feel bad, Hun...you&#39;re paving the way for a GREAT home for her with her calming down and knowing that there are wonderful, loving people out there.

I will keep her and you and your other babies in my prayers.

Thanks guys :hug:

I keep telling myself exactly what you both said. Its so good for her to stay in a home where someone can love on her and let her know its okay to let her guard down around people. Even if its only for a few weeks its so good for these bunnies to have someone love and spoil them.:hug2:

 

[Michaela]

Oh Haley I&#39;m sorry if I made you feel bad! I didn&#39;t mean it!!:imsorry:

I think you&#39;re doing a great job fostering her!:hug1 She&#39;s lucky to be with you!

Oh No, not at all Michaela! I have been thinking to myself this whole time that I wish I could keep her, but I just cant. And I figure I can keep fostering bunnies for the shelter every once in a while so that lots of bunnies have a chance to feel what its like to be a spoiled bunny in a loving home. If I dont keep her I can help more that way

This sort of reminds me of one of the Star Trek movies where they talk about the need of the many outweighing the need of the one (or something like that).

I think fostering is an awesome thing and you are helping her. I think that a well-loved rabbit can go from one home to another and adjust fairly well and she is fairly young.

My concern is when I have bought older rabbits - 2 to 3 years old - and they come here and you can see in their eyes the feeling of betrayal (even if they were just used for breeding). It isn&#39;t in all of them - but some of the ones who tend to have a more sensitive nature. I&#39;ve watched aggressive bunnies who were aggressive because of their hurt - become spoiled rotten love-bunnies....

So think taking in a rabbit and giving it love can really help it prepare for its "lifetime" home...and to be able to help many of them over a lifetime - is awesome.

Thats what hurts me with this one. She was turned loose on the world and doesnt really trust anyone. I dont want her to think Im turning her out because I dont want her or something

Usually, when you foster its for a while..until the bunny can find a new home. This was an unusual case bc of her spay. I just hate to have to take her back to the shelter..but with school and work and max its just not possible right now
