Hi everyone,
Well many of you on here will know I've been keen to find Bailey a friend for a while now!
Yesterday we went to a local rescue in Swindon and tried to see how Bailey would be with any potential ladies! I've never seen my poor little man so scared and cowering in the corner with most of the girls they brought out. Bailey was so sweet, and pretty much all the girls were quite frankly horrible to him. It broke my heart seeing some of them chase him and make him feel sad, so after 3 attempts, I could see how distressed he was and we left.
I know this is not the case for all and most bunnies happily find their happy ever after partner but with Bailey being so close with us, we'll never put him through that again. So instead I contacted our local national animal aid charity and they had recently reacued a doe and her week old babies, which were now reaching 9 weeks and looking for new potential homes.
I didn't really set out to get another baby, but I'm going to see how it goes and I'm hoping it might be the best way forward for our soppy little lad, since arriving Bailey has been fine and although been for a nose once, ran away and binkyed so hopefully I've made the right choice for us.
So Without further a due let me introduce our new little addition who we've been to pick up this afternoon; they believe she is a dwarf lopped female, from the size of her mum but she also has one sticky up ear which is very cute. She does have quite abit of matted fur around her bum so I'm keeping a close eye but otherwise she is lively and munching on her hay well.
We really have no idea on a name so if anyone has any ideas please feel free to post them but here she is;
