i hope you don't mind me asking, but can you share stories of all your buns for us please for wabbit wednesday? i think i missed something along the way and have no idea how many you have now, or their stories :)
 
Yes of course. I have six now - Blueberry & Slipper, Blackavar & Cherry, Jacquetta & Lady Katherine.

Slipper came first. My ex bought him for me from p@h in 12th December 2011 as my soul bunny, Dexter, had had to be pts the previous day :cry: and I was so heartbroken & couldn't stop crying, he thought another bunny would cheer me up. It was the last thing I wanted but I went along with it as I wasn't in any state to argue. In July 2012, we split up & long story short, Slipper stayed with him until July 2013 when I moved into my current house. I found RU shortly after as I was looking for ways to help solve Slipper's aggression issues. I also was desperate for a snuggle bun as I still missed Dexter terribly so I was hunting for one as well as a potential friend for Slipper. I found one that reminded me of Dexy & as he was the last of a litter, I was going to get his brother too. Then the day I was due to collect, I heard that all bunnies had escaped. I then found an ad for mini lion lops & went to see them that weekend. It was then I saw Badger & Blueberry - 4week old tiny fluff balls :love: Blueberry hopped straight up to me & licked my hand :love: only Dexy had ever done that so I fell for him immediately. And Badger looked so much like Dexy, I was desperate for him, but he was thought to be a girl then so I couldn't.

4 weeks later, I went to collect them & I heard Badger was a boy so I could have him after all :love: everyone loved my boys, my mum kept making excuses to come see then, my friends, neighbours etc & their soft floofiness & friendly bouncy playfulness helped to ease the pain I felt at losing Dexy. But they were so previous to me, I didn't dare try to bond them with Slipper after all. So I needed another bunny.

I fell in love with a beautiful bunny on RIN on here - Mitsy, a little black bunny with sapphire blue eyes :love: it wasn't to be sadly, but hearing that black bunnies were overlooked & how much I loved then, I decided to try for a black mini lop. I found Blackavar :love:

He was a former stud bunny whose partner had just died & so was no longer needed. I brought him home, nursed him through stasis, got him neutered, vaccinated & onto pellets instead. I made arrangements for them to be bonded as I didn't have the nerve to try myself.

In the meantime, I was more active on here & aware of the rescue situation. Blackavar is an unofficial rescue from the free ads, but I felt guilty about buying from p@h & breeders & wanted to help. So I hunted around for a rescue bunny. I tried about 10-15 different bunnies from different rescues and none successful. I did find a beautiful blue beveran called Rambo at RSPCA Macclesfield & I was determined to do anything to be able to have the perfect home for him. Sadly that didn't work either & I hadn't felt so upset since the day Dexy died. So I sat in the kitchen with my 4 boys to try & cheer myself up & they clicked. I had myself a quad!

Next I found a litter of baby blue beverans for sake in Lancashire. I was desperate to go & get one or two as id become so enamoured of the breed when trying to adopt Rambo. But I didn't want to support a breeder. I agonised for a month over the decision, but eventually went for it & an so glad. Jacquetta & Lady Katherine were the only two girls in the litter, but were still with their brothers at 8 weeks old! No way was I go going to leave one behind for god knows what & I'm so glad! They're wonderful bunnies with great personalities & I adore them so much!

Badger tragically died very suddenly. Like Dexy, he was just too good for this world & left far too soon. My remains three boys then fell out, leaving Blackavar alone again. I didn't want another bunny & couldn't face the heartache of trying to rescue again, so I left things for a while (as well as my personal life going to hell in a hand cart!)

He suffered with dental issues in July & was very depressed. I knew then I'd have to get him a friend so I spoke to Angie at the barc open day & reserved the lovely wildie x Cowslip. I waited for her to be spayed & then she came to live with us a month ago. They were originally to be bonded at barc, but Blackavar's ongoing dental issues & depression/stress problems meant that wasn't going to happen. He's been a completely different bunny ever since he saw her & I couldn't be happier :love:

Cherry herself (my nickname for Cowslip) is quite nervy, but is getting braver. She no longer hides from me whenever I go in although I'm not able to stroke her yet. She will occasionally eat from my hand though :love: in the next few days, I'm going to be moving these two out of their bonding cage and Into their permanent home so fingers crossed they continue to be loved up & consequently Blackavar continues being a brilliant eater which will obviously help his dental issues!

I love my bunnies, they're awesome!

Forgot to add I didn't tell RU about Jacquetta & Lady Katherine for months as I felt bad about buying them from a breeder. When Jane went public about buying Lord Herbert, I decided to out myself as well so maybe I could share some of the flack if there was going to be any.

Lady Katherine is the norty one who kept trying to eat the pellets & attacked your back & handbag :roll::lol:

Aww I love your bunnies Sarah. So glad Blackavar and Cherry are getting on so well.

Yes I know that but they don't stay still enough so I can remember which is which :lol: I really think we should come up with a way of labelling them :lol:

It's so nice to see the spark back in Blackavar's eye :love:
 
I've only just seen this thread (I go to sleep early! :lol: )

Thanks so much for sharing its lovely to hear all their stories :) your bunnies are so lucky to love with such a great mum!

I know, isn't it? His coat is so shiny & glossy now & the never ending moult has finally stopped too. He never stops eating either now :love:

And yes, I definitely think we should label them because what if it's Jacquetta being norty one day & we blame Lady Katherine?!

I've only just seen this thread (I go to sleep early! :lol: )

Awww thank you :love: I do love them very much even if my (non existent any more :shock) savings don't!
