Whilst this is rabbit oriented thread, I'd first like to say I'm sorry I've been less active on here following the loss of Bertie. I am acutely aware I have not posted a tribute to Bertie yet. I am working on something suitable but I also need to be in the right headspace to do it. Bertie was a special rabbit for us here and I'm still struggling with the loss on top of the other issues.
However, I did say this was bunny related. Whilst not wanting to sound as if I am disrespecting the memory of Bertie, we have been acutely aware of the impact this has had on Flo. She rarely goes outside now and sits with us more these last few weeks. She has we feel, accepted Bertie is not coming back but she probably cannot process why.
So we have found a new companion for Flo and they are both presently at a bonding specialist who is taking charge of the bonding process. I will of course post some photos when I get chance (presently on lunch at work). And I will introduce our new bunny when we get both flo and new bun next week.
His name is Herbie. He is a pure white lionhead with amazing blue eyes. I found him at a rescue centre who rescued him from being the next meal for a python. Sadly this sort of thing is not uncommon. He has been at the centre since last year - apparently no one wants white rabbits with blue eyes. Which makes me sad. So he will be our new companion for Flo. He is a ball of floofness and after less than a day has already made Flo feel better. Updates i have had have been very positive so I'm keeping everything crossed. I've deep cleaned our house and made sure that everything is nice and clean for their return.
I will try to post some photos later tonight.

Herbie is very lovely. Is he young as he looks quite tiny. I don't know why, but his appearance makes me think of a Gandalf. Was there a bunny on here called Gandalf, who looked similar to Herbie? Great that Flo is pleased with him. Will be lovely for you and Jan to have a pair of bunnies cuddling up to each other again.
He’s very handsome
