...if you'd told me 2 days ago, I'd be getting another Honeybunny, I'd have laughed at you. After all, we're meant to slowly be reducing numbers so the remaining buns can have more space and so on..!
But this is a thing that has happened.
When we first picked up the lovely lady Fabala Boo, we had a little hitch-hiker named Briar... I took some photos of her for her brief sojourn with us:
She travelled badly and was incredibly nervous. Her new owner came and picked her up the same day as we picked up her and Bala, and that was the last I expected I'd see of her. After all, she was going to a fantastic home and met a lovely husbun in the handsome Dil, and they bonded well.
Sadly, earlier this week, I saw Dil & Briar's owner post that Dil was very poorly. I kept my fingers crossed for him and his family. Then, I heard that Dil sadly passed away, and my heart broke for both his owner and Briar.
I then received a lovely message from their owner, asking if I could consider bonding her into my clan. She had 3 rabbits at one point this year, and had lost 3 in quick succession. She didn't feel capable of dealing with the heartbreak again at this moment in time. To be honest, it was so beautifully worded that it completely tugged at my heart-strings. I said that I would only take her on with Jill's blessing, as obviously, being a Honeybunny, if you cannot keep them then they should be returned. Jill said she was happy with it if we felt comfortable with it and ultimately, we said yes. I mean, how could we not?
She's in a crate, settling, yet again. I've told the previous owner, who had grown fond of her in the short time they were together, that they are more than welcome to come visit and I'll keep her updated on her, as well as giving her the link to the Wayward Buns's facebook page. Maybe if they'd had longer together, she may have felt like she wanted to carry on keeping rabbits at this moment in time, but right now, it isn't possible.
I've taken a couple of photographs, but she is still a nervous little rabbit and very over-awed by all the changes.
As a bonus, here's lovely Theta piggie (with Zeta), as I've only just got around to taking photos of her! She has settled in well.
