Erm, Noah *might* be already reserved subject to bonding
Hele - yep! Although I think the cat might be out of the bag now :lol:

Aw I hope it works out well for you. He is so beautiful. I'm a bit jealous now! :lol:
I guess this is who your other thread about ears is about! I was wondering that about him too, you can't tell from the photo online!

Thanks
I do hope they bond.They think Noah is very sight limited, so we are having to adapt their set-up so that he can navigate around easily etc. I hope it won't affect the little love too much

My poppy is has sight issues, she is not blind but does scan so we don't know how much she can see. She is also daft as a brush so where that might mean that others buns are more nervy she is less as often she doesn't have a clue what's going on :roll:
She won't jump off things, if I sat her on the sofa she would not jump off as she wouldn't know how far down the floor was. She does jump onto things into her shed and as long as she jumps up she knows where she can jump down safely. I have on one occasion seen her jump up onto a box and try jumping down from a different side... She landed in their large dog bowl of water :roll:.
She also like sitting close to walls looking directly at them. I think it gives her something to focus on. Other than that she is like a normal bun, she explores new areas more confidently than her fully sighted husbun and happily runs about without a care in the world

I think so
Big beautiful aloof bunnies, just what I've always dreamed of. I love PEW's and I've always wanted a blue bun too, so I'm so thrilled they're coming to live with me My poppy is has sight issues, she is not blind but does scan so we don't know how much she can see.

Thanks - I was going to start a thread looking for people's experiences with blind/sight impaired bunnies, as I'm not entirely sure what to expect! Surely they do most of their exploring with their noses, so it can't affect them too much?

I've seen a couple more pictures and IMHO the shape of his ears suggest to me that he will lop one day, but who knows :lol:

What a lovely thread.
Can't wait to see pics of them in their new home.
My first bun was sight impaired & TBH all she did that was a little different to a fully sighted bun was scanning.
If they are sight impaired from birth they seem to have adaptive skills to make up for it anyway.

Only just caught up with this thread.
TWO new bunnies - Wow
I've had somebuns who were sight impaired. My Bridge Bun Daisy had very poor sight and eventually had to have one of her eyes removed. She coped really well. Bumble, another Bridge Bun, scanned frequently and had limited vision but he could really move when he wanted to and he was very good at getting into places he shouldn't (but he was a BARC bun, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised!)

Noah has little sight and no hearing, but it doesn't worry him in the slightest. You wouldn't know from meeting him, its only when you realise he cant find his dinner :lol: He is a happy chappy, not concerned at all about not seeing or hearing - and he love love loves his snuggles. He has lopped too. Gorgeous Boy.

Brilliant news :thumb:
Fantastic news
Can't wait to meet them. Will they both be coming to stay in December?
What time do you finish work? I'm on a course training to be a 111 call handler in Otterbourne this week and for the next two weeks so drive past Eastleigh on the way home. Would be good to pop in and see your new house and your gorgeous fur family if you were around.
