Hi all :wave:
I have just been given the nudge by GrahamL to put some piccies up and I suppose it was about time as I have been lurking on here for a while now.
I am the very proud mummy of BeeBee (8month old orange mini lop) and Elphie (6month old chinchilla lionhead)
I have had BeeBee since he was a little 8week old baby, and have learnt more about rabbits in this time than I thought possible.
He came from a woman who on paper,phone,email seemed brilliant but I learnt the real truth. His mother died when he was 21 days old, and he lost a sibling as well but I was assured all would be okay and he was fine.
I had only had Bee two weeks when he didn't quite look right so off to the vets we went. The vet said he was in statis but we had caught it early so on all the meds we went, bee took a turn for the worse and 2days later we moved him inside and had fans on him to keep him cool on 6types of medicines and on 2hourly meds and syringe feeding. The vets didn't hold out hope for him but my little man proved them all wrong and survived it, however he has a very sensitive tummy and I'm constantly on the look out for statis and bloat but having been so close to him as a baby I spot the signs with him easily.
He is a 100% hay bunny as pellets dont seem to work with him and he eats more hay than I can imagine... People didn't believe I only had one bunny the amount we get through.
BeeBee went for his spay( he was a girl up to this point) in December and turns out he was a boy so we carried on with the castration and got him all recovered and this is where Elphie came into our lives.
Bee is such a laid back affectionate bunny but there was a little niggle inside me knowing that I do everything I physical and emotionally can for him and spend hours with him everyday but I can't speak rabbit, and I dread to think what would happen if I tried to bink :lol:
I got in touch with Becky86 and lots of lovely emails later and Beebs went up to x-vic-x's house on the 7th Jan to meet Elphie. They came back to me on the 12th Jan and I can't believe they haven't been together for life. I spent 3days on the lounge floor watching their every move before they went out to the wendyhouse and I couldn't ask for it to have gone any smoother and I can't imagine bee as a single bunny again.
Elphie has taught bee so much and he is now starting to try spring greens with no effect on his tummy and she taught him to chew twigs as well not just chin them.
Sorry for my long ramble
Here are some piccies of the terrible twosome xx
