My Bridge Bun Furby came from a breeder.
There was a large rescue operation in Lymington as the breeder had let things get out of hand and could no longer cope. Sadly many of the piggies had to be put to sleep but I think some of the buns are probably still alive and well.
Furby was a fantastic bunny. I just offered to rehome one bun and he was chosen for me and was absolutely gorgeous in looks and temperament. I soon found he was completely deaf and his teeth were a total mess and he needed regular dentals.
He had mites when he came to me as well. I had him neutered as soon as my vet would allow (initially he said he wanted Furby to build himself up a bit first) and bonded him to Faye and they lived a very happy life together.
Sadly, Furby was often poorly - he had abscesses in his jaw a couple of times and later developed snuffles and from that had a head tilt and he died in his run with his beloved Faye.
I still miss him loads - he was a very gentle bun and never once tried to bite me, despite me having to inject him regularly when he was ill. He also just allowed me to put the nebuliser mask on him and sat on my lap totally relaxed. His trust in me was humbling and I so hope he doesn't feel I let him down because he couldn't get through his illnesses. He fought so hard too.
If I was in a position to take on any more buns (which I am not financially - Furby wasn't insured and cost me between £700 and £800 just in the last few months with his snuffles) I wouldn't hesitate in rehoming a former breeding bun but I would definitely insure him or her and wouldn't pay a breeder for him/her.
