I got my first bunny Bubbles when I was 9, 23 years ago! My best friends cousin bred rabbits and I begged and begged my mum and dad to let me have Bubbles
he was a little grey netherland dwarf and I loved him to bits
he used to make us laugh by jumping on top of his hutch and just sitting there, the hutch was so high and he was so tiny, we were amazed how he got up there! I was heartbroken when he died 6 years later
I then got 2 more, Sandy and Nibbles, from my school careers advisor whose rabbits had just had babies
they were dwarf lops. They were sisters and ended up not getting along, back in those days spaying bunnies wasn't really done and I didn't know anything about the benefits of it, so they spent the rest of their days separated
After them came Minnie, the bun who really stole my heart, I worked at PAH and fell in love with her
she was so special and such a character, she used to lick our feet when we sat in the garden and come running to greet us
while we had Minnie, another bunny suddenly appeared in our garden one day, and we ended up taking her in. Apparently she belonged to a man down the road, but she just lived in his garden with no hutch or anything! So we bunny napped her :lol: called her Tiny. She was quite wild as she hadn't had any contact with people really, eventually she let us stroke her but she was very territorial.
After Minnie was PTS with EC
I was totally devastated and couldn't even think about replacing her for a good few years, I thought I couldn't love another bunny like I loved her
but time passed and I felt the need to have bunnies in my life again, so last October I got Olly and Honey, my two mini lips who are now the centre of my world! I love them to bits and would do anything for them
