Let's have a thread for the oldies :D. I'm interested to know how many RU buns are in double figures so post yours here.

Here's Flora, who is 10 years and 4 months old.......



 
lovely bunnies. all four of mine are seven years old so we have a way to go yet. they're happy this morning, having been moved to a north facing room. they haven't yet objected to their compounds being a little smaller. at present, they're lolling about looking as if they did all the work.

now, what about these pensioners? these are over sixty-five

My eldest is only 5 (ish). All others are less than 2. Hope they all look that good when they reach double figures :wave:
 
Here is Fozzie my oldest bunny who has turned 10 years old last month.

Aww - we have some lovely oldies on RU :love:. Miss Bunny Penny takes the prize for the oldest so far. She's looking pretty good :thumb:.
 
Can I post about my bridge bun Mona? She died in April but lived to be over 11. Her husbun will be be 10 in August.
 
Here's Heather, she's 10.5 now. Her lifelong pal Harry died last year and she is now bonded with the gorgeous Bertram. Thankfully they adore each other and have a very similar bond. Heather's lacrimal glands have stopped working, meaning she suffers with dry eye which requires drops several times a day to keep her comfy and prevent ulceration.

And this is Dudley, he is also 10. I took him in temporarily in 2005, he was meant to be going up to honeybunnies but never made it past my front door :love: He was bonded with Santa for many years until she passed away, and he is now bonded with Mavis who keeps his icky eyes nice and clean. Here he is with Santa :love:

I took photos of Peter when I was down there, but I can't find where I put them :(

So have an old photo of him, he was 10 in May and only just starting to show his age (and finally lost some weight so not as round in this picture :lol:)



Oh found one from 2 years ago, his room is a bit bigger now
 
Right - question for you all - what have you always fed them?:love::lol:

...seriously;)

Loads of veggies a day, unlimited hay, fresh grass most days and a small quantity of SS pellets. Flora now has porridge oats and fattening fruit and veg every day to keep weight on (apple, carrot, sweetcorn etc). But she eats the same as all my bunnies and the eldest I've ever owned until now was 9 so I think it's just the luck of the draw to be honest. Flora always was a very robust bunny - never had stasis or anything else, other than nodular myxi before I'd owned her.

Wow, she had Myxi too - poor little bun - you've obviously looked after her well:thumb: It does seem, the less pellets the better doesn't it - and hay, hay, hay!
