Introducing .... Simba!

After Wesley bunny died yesterday, I needed to find another neutered male rabbit to start the bonding process with Bluebell, as she was devoted to Wesley and I didn't want her to be lonely.

Luckily Kay who has a rescue very close to my home, had Simba, who was looking for a home, we went to see him and he came home with me. He's a lionhead lop, and he is very handsome, I think everyone will agree! He is also very laid back, and enjoyed his brush and comb through before I took these photos!

awww! hes gorgeous!! be careful when bonding tho as many rabbits don't accept another patner until a few months after the previous has passed away..

Thanks Katie ... Bluebell and Wesley were only together for a couple of weeks though, then he had to be put to sleep, so I do hope she will bond with Simba ok. If not, well they will just have to live separately for a while!

hi

Simba's gorgeous! :love:

I didn't realise that about bonding either Katie - maybe that's why Benny wouldn't accept the girls just a week after Pepsi had died?
 
Just thought I would let you all know that I have explained to Jane that Simba doesn't like mornings, and she knows he is the one that blacked my eye (you will probably all remember the post).
I am so glad Simba has found his forever home with Jane as I know he will be loved to death and spoilt.
Thanks Jane
Love

Don't worry about the eye blacking episode Kay, I know how grumpy some rabbits can be! First thing in the morning I will just give him a carrot and leave him to wake up!

Last night he was an angel, but of course he was awake by then. He let me brush his coat with no trouble at all. I think Bluebell will love him.

Hey Mandy, My Bluebell looks very much like yours ... except she has a little less blue, and she isn't sure if she is a lop or not, she has one ear up and one down!!

probably :D i guess its a bit like humans, we have to go through the grieving process before we start to get back to normal (bless them lil buns :D )
 
Here's Bluebell. She looks better than this now, she was a bit out of condition when I got her from a (not so good) rescue a few months back.

She has become a real 'pussycat' since she was spayed. She was a real ****** before, and bit me more than once.
