Sam and Truffs
Mama Doe
It's not practical. It's probably not even possible. But I really am yearning for more bunnies and there are three 'surprise' baby does near me which need a home.
However. Sam & Truffles (both sisters) are house rabbits and Truffles just proved when she was staying with a friend recently while we were away that she doesn't cope well with other rabbits near her. The lady who looked after them has her own rabbits and was looking after more, and in the 2nd week Truffles started attacking Sam and had to be separated. She's fine now they are home and she can't smell anything else but it certainly doesn't bode well for a big group of 5 does it?! Or indeed any more holidays ever.
I do have an outside 8 ft chicken coop which they were originally going to be living in (yes I know now that chicken coops are far from ideal, but I didn't then) so I guess they could be outdoor bunnies but it would mean getting a bigger setup and I feel we wouldn't get to bond with them the way we do with our house buns. Plus there's the cost of insurance, and jabs, and spaying and everything else. Tell me I'm temporarily crazy.
Actually even more crazily I'd really love a couple of giants, but they would definitely need to be house bunnies and I think Truffles would be making her feelings on that very clear. I just need to get over it don't I.
Sorry for my ramblings!
