Hi everyone! My name is Morgan, I am 17 going on 18 and work part-time at Sonic Drive-In. I decided to make this blog to keep record of Charlie and Chestnut's life, so I have something to look back on as they get older! I also don't have many other people who enjoy talking about rabbits like you guys do! :tonguewiggle
Anyway!, my bunny adventures started in July almost 2 years ago with Clover. It took forever to convince my family to such a idea, especially since my mother grew up in Mississippi where rabbits were considered farm animals! I did research for so long, and even started saving up for a c and c set up. One day my mom and I were searching Craigslist and came across a ad for a free rabbit, not even ten minutes from our house. Next thing I knew we were on our way to pick her up! My mom eventually became comfortable to the idea, and my room became the "Bunny room" and owning a indoor rabbit became something normal for our family.
A year later after I got my first permanent babysitting job, my mom allowed me to welcome a boy rabbit into my home. I brought Chestnut home from a breeder, where I was informed that she was both mini lop and a boy. That was not the case, of course, as she was definitely a mix and definitely a girl! I loved her either way, and learned alot from owning TWO female rabbits (oh the constant Chinning and fighting!). I eventually had to build a separate cage, so I built a two story c and c condo where Clover lived on the bottom floor and Chestnut lived on the top. When I eventually got my job at Sonic, I was saving up to get them both spayed on the same day and eventually bond them! I was very excited, and even got in contact with a local vet.
That was not the case, either, as Clover became very sick and passed away at 2 years old.
I had a really hard time getting over Clover's passing. I blamed myself for so long, and even considered giving up on caring for rabbits. It wasn't until a month later when I saw Charlie that I knew I was ready to welcome another rabbit into my life. This was my second chance at a bonded pair, and my second chance to save a rabbit from a life of neglect. Charlie was from an inexperienced family who accidentally bred their outside rabbits. Charlie had almost no human interaction and was 5 weeks old, barely weaned from his mother, and that is assuming he was completely weaned. She had no clear answer.
He is the tinest, youngest rabbit I have ever seen! Not even Chestnut was that tiny when I got her and she is a Mini Lop! He currently lives by himself in a 2x2 cage, which is plenty of space for him. I don't know alot about him yet, but I'm hoping to share more about him on here and the bonding process with him and Chestnut as he gets older and is fixed! Thank you all for reading~!
