Hi my name is Jessica
I'm 18 years old and have had four bunnies over the years. My first rabbit was a mini rex we named Louie. He was an angry bunny and i can't remember much about him. Unfortunately we lost him to Flystrike at only 2 years.
We then got a Lop named Do'nut who never seemed to stop growing! we let him run around freely in out garden as we thought we had blocked off any holes and it was very safe. But Do'nut was clever. he used to escape behind the garden shed all the time and it took forever to coax him out! He always tried escaping. One day after a storm had bent our fence slightly, i was out in the garden and heard a commotion. I looked over to the noise and saw Do'nut sitting on top of the fence!! he had scaled the garden fence ready to jump over it! But i grabbed him just in time. But he managed to escape over it time and time again. Our neighbours got used to seeing him sitting in their garden. One time he ran away for a whole night and we had to post missing letters to peoples houses. Luckily he was found! So we made a run for him!! Unfortunately he died also only at 2 years old. He had a tumour on his spine and quickly became paralysed. So we had no choice
Rabbit number three was a dwarf lop named Muffin and he was brilliant! My little brother once was sat on the floor eating sweets and he had put them on the floor in front of him. Muffin then hooped over, pinched one of the sweets and ran off! I know Rabbits shouldn't be fed sweets and chocolate but we couldn't stop him! he figured that the chocolate came from the fridge and would sit by it until someone gave him chocolate, he was offered healthy alternatives but refused! Muffin was very entertaining and would come inside most days when it got cold outside, he even scared cats away from the garden! One time my parents went away and Muffin stayed inside all night and happily slept in my bed with me! I did have a few presents in the morning though! Muffin lived for an amazing (for us) 8 years. At 7 years we noticed his right eye glazing over so we took him to the vets and found out he had cancer behind his eye, his eye had to be amputated but he lived quite happily for an entire year until the same illness came back in his left eye. Losing him after 8 years was extremely hard, and we were sure we were not going to get anymore bunnies as it was so hard
but this soon changed
We went into one pet shop to get some food for our guinea-pigs and saw the cutest and tiniest Dwarf Lop i had ever seen!! He was mostly white but had brown patches all over him and his ears andnose were black, it looked as though he had been dipping them in marmite! I just couldnt leave him there, so we took him home and named him Bailey. He is now 8 months old and doesn't like being outside at all but my parents don't like him inside. When he is outside he sits by the door waiting for someone to let him in. I love him to pieces, but some of my family are finding it hard to bond with him. I think it is because of how much everyone loved Muffin. But im sure that their love will grow and that he can live a just as happy life as Muffin did
Really sorry about the long intro! Just felt that all my bunnies needed an intro as they are all as equally special as one another
this forum is a brilliant idea! well done to you all and may everyones bunnies live long and happy lives :bunnydance:
