After losing Bramble, I wanted to find a new friend for Parsley. I checked the local rescues, but couldn't find a suitable bun. I checked preloved, looking for a mature girl that needed rehoming, but they were all male or in pairs. I then found an advert for an unexpected litter nearby. Hubby and I discussed it and agreed that we could accommodate and finance it if the rabbits didn't get along and we needed to get two more rabbits. (I have a secret yearning for 4 rabbits eventually) I messaged the owner asking if she had any girls and got the reply, "I don't know but you're welcome to come and look". After looking up rabbit sexing online, Mum and I went to look.
The lady had two rabbits and the female had dug put of the run and got in with the male. I believe her story as I almost broke my ankle on a rabbit hole in the lawn. She had two 8 week old rabbits left from the litter. One was definitely male and I was 80% sure the other was a girl. I really wanted another nethie and despite claiming that they were nethies, mum and dad weren't but they may had have a bit of nethie in there somewhere! Anyway, I had a cuddle and that was it, bunny was going to come home with us in a few days when we'd got things set up. The woman didn't ask any questions about my set up or anything, so I do wonder what homes the other bunnies went to. Initially bun was to live in the kitchen as a quarantine measure and whilst we got her vaccinated. So, meet Willow,
She has had her jabs and the vet agrees she's a girl (phew!). She is so friendly and will run up to you for a fuss and lets you pick her up for cuddles which are accompanied by tooth purring and licks. I've not been so well recently and so am home more than usual and I'm sure she is helping my recovery. Of course no bun could ever replace my beautiful Bramble, but I think she sent this bun to me.
On Sunday we introduced her to Parsley and they have got on so well. They snuggle up to each other when they snooze and groom each other. I do think Parsley wonders why he's living with a lunatic though when she binkies over the top of his head!
She hasn't really got a stripe by her nose it's a shadow from the roof of the run
