I have a confession to make

Totti and Kiki have a new friend

I have known my friends bunny "Bugsy" all his life which must be at least 6 years. Typical story in that he was bought as a childs pet and the child lost interest. My friend has wanted me to take him for years but I had no room. Then Spike went to the Bridge last month and although he was absolutely irreplacable in my eyes, I now had space for Bugs if the buns agreed.

So off they went to Helens "The Duchess". I would have quit immediately when Totti nipped Bugsys nose but Helen is now quite the bonding expert and didn't think the behaviour warranted calling it off.


Initally Bugsy seemed definitely to be the outsider with Totti "Lord of the litter tray"


Then it was obvious that even as an outsider, Bugsy felt comfortable


Progress






To the point where now they have vacated the Back Passage in Helens house and have moved to a hutch






They will be coming home tomorrow and I'll keep them in the kitchen for a couple of days to make absolutely sure (hoping their memories are rubbish 'cos they've all been there before )

Bugsy is such a sweet natured bun and so deserves to be with a couple of pals so all fingers and paws crossed for this please.

Awww, that last photo.

I hope it all works out.

They look so happy. How lovely. You are very lucky, I always wanted a group of three but haven't got the nerve.

What a gorgeous trio well done for taking him on

I´m so happy for you and your beautyful bunnies!

Thank you all.... I'm very happy too, mainly for the gorgeous Bugsy. It appears he's so desperate for friends, he'll put up with any nipping and humping and accepted that he was bottom bunny from the start (even Kiki the female was quiet, err, enthusiastic with her humping )

I wonder if it helps that Totti and Kiki were part of a very loved up trio for just short of 2 years therefore are used to the trio group dynamics.

Awww thats a nice story. I think Fudge was like that he was so keen to be with others he just put up with the hormonal girlies

So nice that Bugsy gets to be with other buns.
Loving those bonding pics

Aww, that's lovely. I'm so pleased for you all!

thats great news

sooooooooooo glad we have another happy group on the site

Ahh they´re so cute!! My little Rabbie is still back home in Australia. We toilet trained him, so we didnt keep him in a cage, so there wasn never any broken gold nuggets lying around the house! He had full control over the house. Now he lives at my parents house where he lives in an orchard and is forever escaping to go and just lie on the grass in the sun! He also has a few new friends...a little brown wild rabbit whom he is quite fond of I hear!! This pictures make me miss him so much!! The three look like they get along together fine!

aw they all look so fab together. gorgeous bunsters

I've got the kitchen ready and am just off to get them. It's a shame not to let them out in the garden but I don't want to ruin Helens good work and am following her advice. Although she did say I could put them in the hutch, just not let them have too much garden space at the mo... trouble with that is Kiki is super speedy and is out the hutch the minute the door is cracked open :lol:

A few more snaps from this week.....

When Kiki and Bugs decided to be best mates..



Three a crowd...........never!



Washy head Totti? Yes please Bugs.....

Awwww....looks amazing!! x

Jill its wonderful you have extended your home to another bunny. You gave Spike such great care and I know how you loved him. Bugsy looks as though he is trying really hard to stay . Helen has worked magic again and I hope it continues today.

Thanks Lorraine . They arenow in the kitchen and I'm concerned as Totti has claimed the litter tray (well it is shocking pink :lol: ), Kiki is just troughing on hay but Bugsy is distant from them, if I put him in the tray, he immediately hops out... I feel a call to Helen coming on

OK so I may have been panicking somewhat...
