Why do I do this to myself?

Why do I have to go looking for a new bunny? I love REWs and have just heard they get overlooked in rescue because most people don't like them due to the red eyes. I love unusual coloured eyes in animals, as I child I only picked red eyed animals.

Cue me trawling rescue sites for a REW girl as I think I'd be more likely to be allowed a girl as I have 4 boys already.

But, I've offered for 2 bunnies in rescue in the past 6 months and got neither which have both really upset me. One because they felt I was too far away - fair enough - and the other because someone else offered who had a similar setup to his old home - again fair enough. But it has made me a bit anxious to go through the emotional roller coaster again.

I adore my boys, but would really love a girl. Why can't I just be satisfied with the four I've got? Why do I have a need for a fifth bunny?! Aaaaaagh!!!

If you got a girl who would you put her with? Would you add her to the quad?

I went through a phase when I very nearly got a third bunny, I really was very tempted by one boy in particular. What stopped me in the end was the fact that I couldn't risk the bond Levi and Daisy have just to satisfy myself. I also don't really have space for a third bun at the moment so it wouldn't be fair.

Maybe look at it from the bunnies point of view, would a 5th bun be good for them or not?

As I write this Levi and Daisy are both flopped out and cuddling up on my bed :) Daisy just did a full on DBF for the first time ever :) :)
 
for the first few years of having bunnies, i wanted more and more and more. my dream was a yard full of gothic bonded black buns, black ones being hard to rehome...

but seven and three-quarter years in, with the four i originally committed to, after reading here assiduously (for pleasure as well as for education) and especially after reading about rescues and what that life takes out of rescuers - i wouldn't have another bunny given. they are beautiful. i love the ones i have. but i don't need the pain, or the work, or the expense.

syrian hamster for me, when my four eventually go to the bridge.

I was thinking for Slipper, but yes I keep forgetting I have a quad now :oops: and not a potential pair (Slipper & girl) & trio (Badger, Blueberry & Blackavar).

I do keep trying to resist temptation, it's soooo hard though! I want a Conti too, if a REW Conti girl comes up for rescue locally, I'll be in serious trouble!!

If you want a conti you could always have a single conti girl who free ranges the entire house.....

Just sayin'

:) :)
 
Yay!!! Free ranging contis are just like cats but more sociable so it would be different to your current bunnies..... :lol:

That's my dream! A lovely Conti girl to share my home :love: I don't think a rescue would rehome a single to me though? :?
