Hello :)

Hi everyone :wave:
I've been a lurker on her for a while now, I got some great ideas for my buns outdoor setup and I've learnt a lot about their care.
Well 2 weeks ago I lost my soul bunny, Joey. I came home from work and found him with a slight head tilt, he was still eating and moving around ok so I wasn't too worried ( I should have been ) and booked him into the vets for the following evening. Well he deteriorated through the night and we didn't make the vet appointed. It broke my heart, and I know no bun will ever replace him but I couldnt bare to see his empty pen

Well today I picked up these 2, they are 16 week old french lop crosses - still undecided on names but so far they are Lily (lilac and white) and dexter (fawn)
They haven't stopped eating hay since they got here and have done some amazing flops and some small binkies (they are only in a puppy pen of about 6 x 3 until they settle but I think I will extend it tomorrow to 6 x 6
I'm hoping the link to the picture works - sorry its the only half decent one ive been able to get, I dont want to disturb them too much
Sorry the the lengthy post

Ooops sorry, the brown one is a little boy (I say little but they definitely take after they're mum who is a french lop :roll: ) and the lilac and white is a girl - she is the shy one of the 2, the other is already really cheeky and friendly

Thank you. I've seen quite a few of your threads on sox and mable and they are adorable
Names have been changed to Finn and Lola, but im sure I will change them again :roll: haha. They are lovely buns, I forgot how energetic and cheeky buns can be. Their personaties are beginning to shine through now and I tell they are going to be trouble.

Welcome :wave:

Sorry to hear about Joey.

Lovely baby frenchies

Thank you Yes although Teddy is a rescue so I have no breeding history for him, he's a small Frenchie (still a very big rabbit though!) he only weighs 4.5kg. Although Ruby (also a rescue) looks bigger (shes very long!) but because of her light build she only weighs 4.3kg

These 2 are french lop cross mini lop so I'm excited to see how big they will be, I don't know their weights yet but they are about the same size as my dwarf lop ( around 2kg) was, and they are 16 weeks old :lol:
I've just had to split them though as Finn got excited and started to hump poor Lola ( he was on her head and I split them straight away, so I don't think I need to worry but they are booked into the vets for monday for vacs and we'll talk about him getting the snip ) I feel awful as they are sat either side of bars looking sorry for themselves
