I got Smirnoff (lionhead) in Nov 2004. In June 2005, I got Joey(English Spot). Surprisingly, my 2 un-neutered male buns didn't get on :roll: , so I came on RR. I discovered Rescues - so visited one, got my boys neutered, & introduced a spayed Rescue rex- Chocolate to them. They all got on for a few weeks, but then Smirnoff & Chocolate started to (seriously) fight. I separated her, then got Caramel, a harlequin dwarf lop, to live with my boys. Someone up the road from me gave me 2 2-week-old orphaned baby lionhead X english spots, Sugar & Spice, so i ended up with a bonded 5-some (when vet confirmed babies were both girls) & a single bun (Chocolate). Some one at work gave me another harlequin dwarf lop - Cracker who I intended to get neutered & hoped to bond with Chocolate. But by now, I had discovered RU, & seen a pic of Alfie (lionhead X) at Honeybunny's. He bonded well with Chocolate, to start with, but she was getting more & more detached from him (running if he went near). In the meantime I had seen Polly (Alfie's daughter) & Flint's pics (also at Honeybunny's), & intended to bond them, but Polly was a tad "lively" for Flint. So Polly bonded (instantly) with her dad Alfie, I fostered Rosie (lionhead X english spot) from BARC (Bunnymadhouse) & ended up keeping her :roll: & pairing her with Flint. Cracker eventually bonded with Chocolate.
I picked up 4 free ad buns for Honeybunny, & ended up keeping Alex the New Zealand White (formerly Alice :roll: ). Then 3 baby buns got dumped on me - 2 died, & I kept the third - Barley a fawn french lop X, who now lives with Alex.
Unfortunately Caramel died in a hutch accident
(New hutch collapsed on her when she went under gap underneath) So I now have 2 bonded foursomes (Smirnoff, Joey, Sugar Spice), (Chocolate, Rosie, Flint, Cracker), & 2 bonded pairs (Polly & dad, Alfie), (& Barley & Alex).
So 12 buns
But then:
I've also got some free ad buns at mine - Princess Fluff (who just got spayed in case pregnant-but wasn't) & Snowy, who will be both going to Bunnymadhouse as soon as Princess has recovered from her spay.
& I have Treacle, a gorgeous, gorgeous harlequin dwarf lop, & Honey a guinea pig who may well be going to Honeybunny's. At the min, the former-owner is still deciding if she wants the bun back. Can't say I blame her. Yesterday, i spent half an hour getting groomed by her- she totally reminds me of Caramel the way she bobs about
