Hugo, my first, was from a pet shop. I was 14 and he was my first bun. I spent 6 months looking up information, and made a BOOK for my mum, on bunnies, what they needed, and everythign you could think of.
We called up the garden centre (Fordham, for those who are in Suffolk) and asked if they had any bunnies. She said that they had one bunny and he was a male chinchilla blue dwarf lop....:shock::shock::shock:....I fell in love with Hugo!! (He's now 5)
Ophelia came next, an orange mini lop doe. Hugo was 2 and a half. My bf (now ex) got me Ophelia for my birthday :roll: from a well known Cambridge garden centre. She died when she had her spay, as they regularly have cross breeds....Hugo was from a breeder selling to pet shops.
When Ophelia died Hugo was really upset. He stopped eating, didn't lie down and was thoroughly unhappy. In my pregnant state I went straight to a pet shop (in Bury St Edmunds) and got Rose. (Kept in tiny glass cages....same size as the baby hammies!) When I got her home, Hugo hopped up to this little ball of fluff and started licking her. They have such a strong bond.
Teddy.....Where to start....?! My beautiful boy was from a breeder. I fell in love with his dad and all his big brothers (on the journals.) K obviously loves her buns so very much so I reserved a baby as soon as I'd seen her website. When Ted was born I was ecstatic...and reserved him!! He is the best choice I've ever made. Ted is the most wonderful bunny I've ever met!!
Ruby is Teddy's niece. The ex OH and I were getting Ted a friend and when we broke up I decided to get her. She is beautiful....but REALLY naughty. Makes Ted look like an angel....which he is
!!
Maximus was at the P@H adoption. I've never been in to P@H before, and never will again, as I couldn't stand the way the children were acting towards the buns/piggies and their parents didn't give a ****!! A five year old asked their daddy for the "fluffy bunny" so I got him!
Blue (will change name) is a Frenchie coming from Brinsley rescue. I was "looking" at Frenchies on RR and saw her...she's so pretty!! She has been in rescue for 6 months as everyone overlooked her. I showed my interest and Beth said that she would love Blue to come live with us...so in the next few weeks she'll be coming!!
.....sorry for the longness!!
