My new bun

Angie65

Wise Old Thumper
I lost a couple of female buns in Aug & September. Both were part of my bonded group of 13. Shortly after my group started having problems & I came home one day to find one of the boys (the biggest:roll:) had been battered. Lots of rebonding attempts later, I left him on his own. He's really human friendly & I just let him sleep on the sofa every evening.

I still had a couple of Fosters - one for Jill, who I have had since the summer. She's quite short-sighted & growls or cowers when you first stroke her, but it's just fear (the bun, not Jill!). She's never bitten. Anyway, I recently lost another foster - Bouncer. He had EC, & kept getting urine infections, incontinence & stopping eating. He died just before Xmas day. All my buns have been panacured for 6 weeks, & my fosters too. Everything is good, but I wanted my NZ white to have a partner. After speaking to Jill (we were concerned about size difference & little bun's timidness), I slowly bonded them over 2 weeks. The key was no humping!:lol: He's too big -but it turns out - she's too fast:lol:

No humping at all, & little Suki now comes over for nose rubs when her & Alex get fed. She hasn't growled since the bonding & he dotes on her (she's in charge:roll:).

I got 15 buns here now - all are loose all the time - one is actually a semi-permanent boarder (don't ask:roll:), but it's ace.

I do feel a little bit bad not fostering - especially knowing I can take 20 buns without affecting my life too much, but Bouncer's illness really hit me. It would be so easy to bring something in to endanger my other buns - to this day I don't know if Barley's (my September loss) pneumonia was caused by Bouncer's EC.

I can't believe I typed that after a bottle & half of wine!

Anyway, thanks Jill. I will get the apdoption form posted off on payday;)
 
:wave: So nice to hear about your buns Angie :D Im sorry to hear of your losses :cry: Its great news that you have bonded Growling bunny :lol: :D with your big lad. I had a growler Dempsey and she would have had my hand off before I bonded her with my errm foster bunny Jack :oops: Its amazing the change in them.
 
Hia Angie :wave:

I'm sorry to hear about your losses. That must have been really hard for you. Its great to have you back on the forum tho. xx:D
 
Lovely to hear she is settled..would love the form..but no donation needed as you have paid for her vacs and several other fosters you've had:D

As for you not fostering..you have been great ever since i joined this forum and if you need a break..be it temp or permanent..then you've earned it.

If you do decide to foster in the future please get in touch as you are such a reliable fosterer...
keep in touch anyway....
noserub to Suki...and Polly, Alfie and Flint of course!:D
 
i just want to say i agree with Jill .

i can perfectly understand why you need a break from it all .

we will miss you on the fostering side and more especialy for bondings :?:?

but we ll manage ...so dont worry ;)
Angie you are a star :D:wave:
 
Thats great news that your keeping little Suki, I only looked at her on RU last night.

I totally understand about wanting to give fostering a break, especially if you have a such a large amount of buns of your own. Well done for helping as much as you have, theres a few more happy buns becasue of you. :wave:

Oh and dont forget we need piccies!:D
