Rehome: Michigan - RIP LITTLE SADIE GIRL

[Evey]

So, you may have read my post where I sort of rescued a 1 1/2 year old Rex (I believe) female from a girl who was going to free her into the woods. I've been fostering her for 2 weeks; I orginially thought I would keep her since I already had a bun, but now that I'm moving into a new apartment, I don't think I can keep both of them. To be honest, she isn't a lovey dovey type of bunny like the baby I have, lol. I let her out of her cage and let her do her own thing, but she definitely has never tried to bite or anything like that; she just doesn't ALWAYS want to hang around me. Oh yeah, she is spayed too! Here is a picture of her...this rehome isn't urgent, but I would like her to go to a great home where she can bond with an amazing person and have a good life :]

I so wish I had room Everyone is so full right now, even the shelter where I volunteer isnt taking any in.

Was she like this when your friend had her? Unfortunately, most bunnies arent the cuddly type, theyre the "let me do my own thing" type

Is she being aggressive? I wonder if shes smelling another unspayed female and its making her territorial? Also, is it possible she's not spayed? Not all shelters spay their bunnies when they adopt them out.

Most bunnies are very sweet and cuddly when they are babies but then they go through these hormonal teenage years (from about 5 months to a few years old) where they can be very destructive and tempermental.

I'll definitely ask around but its such a difficult time of year to rehome a bunny.

Oh my god she's so cute, butI have my hands full right now with my 2 and trying to move myself. Hope you can find someone, I'll ask around, too.

Kathy,

another possible idea I was sort of tossing around was a sort of bunny trade. I'd have to speak with my friends who run the rescue, but it might be possible for them to take her if you adopted a male to bond with Evey. Then they could help you find somebun who would be a cuddler, gentle and sweet.

Would that be something you'd be interested in?

 

[Evey]

I'd definitely be interested in a trade,Haley! Thanks for much for helping me out, I really appreciate it :]

 

[Evey]

thanks! :]

Was this ever resolved with a good ending :dunno?

 

[Haley]

well, we found out her little "girl" Evey is actually a boy. lol :biggrin2:

So shes waiting until hes old enough to neuter and heal, then going to either see how he does with Sadie or see about swapping her for a Midwest bunny who will bond with Evey.

Midwest will do an even exchange as long as the bun is spayed (which she is).So unless someone wonderful wants to take Sadie (which would save her from living in the shelter) she will be fine.

 

[Evey]

I don't know...Sadie is really growing on me...even if she doesn't get along very well with (Mr.)Evey, Iwant to keep her! They're fine if let out at seperate times, etc. So maybe this thread could be deleted?

Today, she actually binkied as she was running toward me...she has honestly bonded with me now, and I really don't think I could give her awayanymore :]

p.s. I went to PSP in Fenton today, and they had a new baby bun shipment, and I had to force myself to walk out of the store because I swear I have bunny fever...I know I would have walked out with another one! I do have another empty cage, so who knows, I might still adopt another one, haha!

We all know how you feel! :biggrin2:I'm beyond thrilled if you've decided to keep Sadie. Shes a beautiful bunny and theres a lot of mini rex girls at the shelter already. She'll have an amazing home with you.

I'll go ahead and mark this thread "resolved". If you need any help bonding them after Evey (does he have a new name?) is neutered, let me know. Im always happy to help.

And if you do ever want a third (what I call the "living room bunny") let me know and I can help you find a lover bun from the shelter

 

[Evey]

Thanks so much, Haley!

I've tried to call Mr. Evey different names, but they all sound strange now so I guess his official name is Dudley Evey, but everyone calls him Mr. Evey, LOL. I tried so hard to get Dudley to stick, but my family hates that name for him!

 

[Haley]

haha, what about something that sounds like Evey- Stevie?? :biggrin2:

Dont feel bad if you cant change it- we havelots of confused bunnies here- boys with girl names and visa versa. It happens a lot with bunnies.

 

[Evey]

Ok, so Sadie is back on the market if anyone wants a spayed mini rex female!

She really isn't working out with my family or my other bunny :/

 

[swanlake]

oh iam sorry!

hmm, i can TRY to work on my parents. showed dad and was like NO. must start cleaning room tomorrow!!

30 days of clean and i can get another bun...

 

[undergunfire]

Must keep room clean :biggrin2:!

 

[Evey]

Aw, thanks for trying! I'm going to post some better pictures of her later :]

 

[Evey]

Ok, so I finally took some pictures of Ms. Sadie today!

Under my bed...

Up-close and personal

Sadie with my mice, Pincess and Peach, and my kitty named Tasha

Sadie really likes cats and mice for some reason, but doesn't really like other bunnies...

That's all for now!

You have no idea how much I wish I had room for her. She looks so adorable - like my Bo - only white and spotted and a girl.
