New member of the family- Sophie!

[MiniLopHop]

Houdini was so sad I couldn't bear it. He wouldn't eat or groom himself. He sat around moping, which is not like him at all. I took him to meet a couple girls. He didn't like Pepper very well, but when Sophie came on the scene, he perked up. He started to groom himself and snuggled up beside her.

Sophie is a flemish/new zeland mix, about 4 years old. I don't think she is spayed, but the vet can tell us more hopefully. She was a house rabbit but then she grew too big, they gave her to a farmer, who gave her to the rescue.

She is just beautiful :inlove:
That offer that we talked about still stands. If your interested

 

[Kipcha]

Aww, so cute! Glad to know that Houdini seemed to like her! She doesn't look too big in the pics, could we get a pic of her with Houdini maybe to compare sizes?

 

[SOOOSKA]

Oh Brandy, she's lovely.

Houdini is a very lucky Bunny. Are thet actually living together already? Or do you have them separated?

Welcome home Sophie, you are one very lucky bunny.

She is very pretty! How big is she?

 

[MiniLopHop]

I think she is about 12 pounds, but I need to get her on a scale. She has a check-up with the vet on Thursday. Houdini looks rather small next to her.

They are living in his space together. A big advantage is that there is ample room to run around and no one can get cornered very easily. We can hear what is going on in my office from the livingroom and we checked on them regularly. There was a wee bit of chasing, Houdini wanted to hump her. Then he would turn around and groom her. This morning when I went in to give them breakfast they were stretched out side by side

Bonding really is much easier when you let them pick their own mates. Sophie is much more comfortable with Houdini than us at this point. I don't want to stress her too terribly. I did cut her nails last night because they were horribly long. I took at least 1/2 inch off each nail other than the three that were broken, two of which were bleeding

I think Sophie is going to like our house. I can already tell she is going to be a daddy's girl. He is quite smitten with her.

Aw she is very pretty, if you're worried about size match. Don't! I saw a pair of bonded rabbits one was a netherland dwarf and the other a new zealand..
Well wishing you best of luck!

She is very pretty, Houdini has good taste. Glad they are bonding already. She know a good thing when she sees it. I too would like to see a photo of the two of them.

My husband just told me that when he went to check on them they were both in the burrow box laying together. I don't think it will be hard to get a shot of them together tonight. The red in her fur goes so nicely with the cream and reddish highlights in his fur. You would think that a person color coordinated them LOL.

 

[Nats]

Awwww, look at that cute face. She has such pretty color, too. Congrats and welcome to the new bunny. :hearts:

I would like to welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

Very pretty!

Many bunnies’ recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

Here are somelinks I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*The House Rabbit Society has a lot of good information on what veggies are safe for bunny’s, etc.

*Here is a link to learn what your furry master is trying to say to you How to Understand Your Bunny's Language

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How to Bond with Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.
