The Tale Of Peter Rabbit

Captain Helen

Wise Old Thumper
Peter arrived here as a foster bun for Bunny Burrows on 23/11/11. He was about 9 months old, and came with an indoor cage he'd been living in. He had overgrown claws and a weepy eye. He was actually called Peaches, but I misheard the woman on the phone, and Peaches wasn't a very manly name! He settled in quickly. He loved strokes and being cuddled tightly, he was always trying to jump on my lap. He would greet me with excited binkies and flicking urine all over me!

The cage he had been living in...

He refused to eat hay, forage or anything healthy. I tried everything, but all he would eat was pellets, fruit and carrots.

I fell in love with Peter, and decided to keep him. He came to live inside as a housebunny. He never understood the concept of a toilet area though, the world was his litter tray. He loved cuddling up on the sofa with me, and would then pee all over the sofa, and me!

After a failed bonding with Josie, I tried him with Barley and Josie. Things went well to begin with, but the bond soon broke down.

So I tried him with Stewart and Storm, and they accepted him straight away. Peter loved cuddling up to his two new friends and was never far away from them. Storm helped to keep his eye clean, as he had a blocked tear duct that couldn't be cured.

Stewart and Peter wanting Storm to groom them both!

After bonding in the bathroom they moved to Peter's pen...

Then they moved outside to Storm and Stewart's shed and run...

Peter still loved his human cuddles though...

Peter was the most different and special bun I've ever known. He was also the cuddliest and friendliest. He was taken far too young :cry:

Binky free Peter xx
 
I'm so sorry. :cry: He was such a beautiful bunny. Thoughts for you and Stewart and Storm. xx
 
What an adorable little face :love: You have some lovely photos of him and he looks so blissed out in the video of him having cuddles!

So sorry you didn't have longer together :(
