The irrepresibly lovely and fluffy Charlie has left us, adopted into a new bunny family who had a large angora male similar to her who desperately needed some luvin'. In a desexed, pleutonic kind of way, of course. Charlie blossomed into a total snugglebun during her few months with us, putting on weight, healing her wounds, becoming very affectionate and shedding mountains of fur. The only thing we won't miss about her is finding long, fine grey hairs in our food.
Tonight two new foster-buns arrived from the House Rabbit Society, a father and daughter combination called Houdini and Sweetpea. He is about 18 months old, she is 6 months. Both are obviously desexed. They are of course absolutely gorgeous (they are lagomorphs after all) and hopefully will settle in quickly. Their owners are immigrating to Australia next week so were desperate to find a good home for them and appraoched the HRS for help. In time they too will be found a new permanent home but for now...they're mine!
Here are the first couple of pictures, not very good but they are just settling in so I didn't want to stress them out too much by taking lots of photos. Also a final pic of Charlie, our first foster.
Remember that if you are considering getting a rabbit (better yet a pair!) don't buy them from a pet shop. Every year thousands are dumped at animal shelters. Give a second hand bunny a chance! If you are in Holland or Belgium, check out Opvang Franky for adoptable rabbits and information (http://www.opvangfranky.nl/) and if you are in Singapore, the US, or in fact just about anywhere, check out the House Rabbit Society or call your local animal shelter to find out where you can find homeless animals who need your help to survive. It's the least we can do.
