Archies just had a fall!

I just went out to give the bunnies their teas. Archie and Blanche did their usual "we're starving" routine, running around, periscoping etc. I usually give them their teas and then they each get cuddles.

This time however Archie decided to literally jump up and into my arms before being fed. Since I wasn't expecting it my arm, which he was jumping on to, gave way and left him crashing to the floor :shock: Luckily he seems to be okay, bit startled at first but then a few thumps later he was trying to climb up my legs. I hope he's alright though, it could have been a lot worse since he was on the second level of their hutch. I might have to re-think my feeding routine now!

I really wasn't expecting him to want a cuddle that badly :lol:
 
Aww, bless him. :love: Hope he's OK. My bunny HATES cuddles, although he does like attention and being petted - as long as all four paws are firmly on the ground. Did you have Archie as a baby? Seems like he loves you a lot! :love:

He used to hate being picked up and was the worse out of the lot. I think he's now "maturing" as a bunny though and has suddenly become very loveable. I got him from P@H before I discovered RU and all about rescues etc when he was only eight weeks old. :love:

I like to think it's because he loves me, in reality it's probably because he was just eager to get to the food before Blanche :lol: I'm really hoping he'll be okay, he seems to be hoping fine but I really freak out when it comes to things like this!
 
I think having a bunny as a baby can make a differnece to the way they bond with their human. I adopted Spenser when he was 7 months old, so he was fully grown. He had been well-cared for, but not much handled as his previous owner had poor health. I'm hoping he learns to trust me a bit more. It's quite funny, though, the way he shakes his paws when liberated, and immediately starts to wash the taint of human paws off his fur.:lol::lol::lol:
 
I've come to the conclusion that bunnies don't have much self-preservation instinct when jumping and climbing lol! Merlin perches far too high on the settee back for my liking!
