Buttons is enjoying it
Our bunnies will enjoy it later, he's road-testing it If a little bunny can't break it, hopefully our big bunnies can't either!
Hawthorn is up on Burrowed Hearts main page: https://www.burrowedheartsrescue.com/rabbits And he has a new pic on their FB: https://www.facebook.com/BurrowedHeartsRescue/photos/a.1274310962696108/3873031439490701/

The run looks great! Well done! I like the colour. I'm glad Buttons is enjoying it.
Hawthorn is looking very cute in his photos.

Oh I'm so pleased both bunnies have bright futures, they're both adorable little bundles of friendliness
Buttons has been shredding his litter bag 'tunnel' overnight I realised that he had no shade now (he used to hide under the hutch he no longer has access to) so pegged etc. a sheet over. He doesn't have sun for long but long enough I need to fix it

He's off tomorrow down south! Getting professionally chauffeured by Graciee's OH ;P

is it 2 weeks thats recommended for the hormones to chill out after neutering? I think I remember someone saying that, I might give him a week to chill and get to know us before bonding! I really hope they like each other [emoji7]

Yeah, minimum 2wks. He's a lot less interested in the other bunny who's turned up (off Bunnies In Need FB, off to his foster home tomorrow afternoon) so there's definite progress! He's a food slave, not as much as Lopsy but getting there ;P Today he learned how to flop with his face still in foodWell his hutch is all clean and ready for him
I said Lopsy would be proud :lol:

He really sounds sweet [emoji38] I still can't believe we're getting a nethie... That's one type of bun I never thought we'd have [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] I'm so used to big buns [emoji38]

I had mostly nethies over the years and now only one of my four is a nethie.
Don't be fooled by their size. They have concentrated energy.
Sending lots of vibes for buttons.

100% second all the points about Nethies, he's only a cross but he's a lot of nethie My first bun was a Nethie and he was brilliant 1987-1998 ain't a bad innings ;P People say they're smaller and therefore easier to handle, but only people who've never had them! They're basically on all the drugs :lol: Attitude doesn't even begin to cover it, but all different attitudes

Yea but even a large nethie cross is gunna be tiny to me [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] anything below 3kg and I'm like omgggg it's teeeenyyy [emoji38]100% second all the points about Nethies, he's only a cross but he's a lot of nethie
[emoji38][emoji38] Concentrated energy sounds a bit scary [emoji38]

Yeah, you know how cats are cute etc. but have concealed knives? It's all death stares and hyperactivity with nethies but the most adorable kind...:lol:

ETA although Buttons literally just after I posted that gave me a big shock by getting his head stuck in the hanging hay rack. He's got massively overexcited becasue I gave him a bit of food (a mint leaf) and I opened the top of the run to fill his hayrack (not that I had hay at ths point) and he poked his head right up through the hanging basket, so I moved away o discourage him (but encourage him the right way if that makes sense?) and told him he'd get his head stuck and then the dreadful scene unfolded in slowmotion. He's fine :thumb: I can't move the hayrack any higher or it'll be totally out of reach, there's nowhere else to put it and nowhere else to put hay :roll: It's because it's at an awkward angle. Plus he's been fine just eating out of it without poking his head in so far. Just need to make sure he doesn't get overexcited :roll:

They should be easier to handle, and many are sweethearts, yet a resistant neathie can squirm and there is not much to grab onto: plus I don't hold mine as firmly as my other bunnies because he is so small.
Graciee,
I never had a bunny over 3kg, and the only one who came close was an obese mini rex cross who eventually 2kg.
My tiniest bunnies were Evan and Dash who weighed less than a kg each.
