I’m in trouble!

[jerseygirl]

 

Oh Crap! I can’t go past this face!!  I wasn’t even looking at the pets – I swear.  I was looking at local ads in the Freebies section for materials. Off cuts and the likes…  So this site must put all free offers from every catergory also under the Freebie heading. So there he was.

I’ve 1/2 constructed and email to the owners.

He’s “about 6 months old”.

I’m settling I think. Coming on BB to put it out there is putting my head back on straight.  I mean, I’m late feeding the 2 bunnies I’ve got because I’ve been sitting here staring at this guy. What does that say about my preparation for a 3rd!

  Why do some of them just catch you? 

[Monkeybun]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Cutes!!! *pet pet*

…like im gonna talk you out of it. Make sure to get lots of pics when you bring him home, k?

[jerseygirl]

pthbbbbbbbb!
I’m already coming to my senses since posting. It really helps to do that. lol
I’ll sleep on it. I’m thinking if he still isn’t rehomed, I’d take him, get him fixed and then talk a family member or friend into having lovely bunny. Or um…just keep him.

[Monkeybun]

you could “foster” him… lol

[usagi]

He’s BEAUTIFULLLL!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but he is. I have no self control. My fiance always has to talk me down.

Go with your gut!

[jerseygirl]

That is so what I would tell people! I think my gut is saying “No” …I think….but he is soooo….. *sigh*  There was another bunny a while back, that got to me like this. I still think about him – My Tiger Muffin. *sigh*
Well, I’m going to feed my 2 ravenous rabbits now. So I cannot be influenced by any more wise counsel until tomorrow.

[Karla]

Any updates? He looks like he has the softest fur and his eyes look straight into the camera. Sometimes some bunnies just crawl under your skin, and I think that’s what proves these bunnies are meant for us. That’s how I got Molly and Jack…just by being haunted by a picture on a website.

Come on, JG…two is so boring, but three is fuuuun

[usagi]

 Maybe your gut and heart are saying “YES” but your head is getting in the way and saying “NOOOOOO”! 

Bad advice, sorry Jersey Girl.  I am the last person to be giving counsel on this subject.  But he is such a beauty… Californian?  Palomino?  

[Beka27]

Jersey! It’s the cartoon bunny from your avatar!!!

[mocha200]

normally when i see a bunny i think soooo cute, but this one i was awww i want that bun!

[mrmac]

 Another Dexter! Sorry I am no help with this one!

Baby Dexter…

[usagi]

Awwwwwww, the eaaaaarsssssssssss! Sooooo cuuuutteee!!!!

[FluffyBunny]

So what will you name him when he comes home?

[LittlePuffyTail]

He’s so cute! Look at that plush fur, looks pretty inviting. And 3 bunnies has made me very happy….

[Sarita]

He’s cute HOWEVER with the challenges that you have with Jersey I think bringing another rabbit into the mix is not a good idea.

[RabbitPam]

It does sound like your gut is saying No. Anyway, it’s a close up. That means he probably has a really ugly butt, so you can’t believe the picture, right?

I have noticed that I am a sucker for certain bunnies, but it’s really the angle of a photo that gets me, because when I go into a site that has multiple photos posted, the other pix aren’t always as cute as the one I fall in love with. So think of it as a love note to his rightful owner out there – who is someone else that you will deprive of an adorable bunny with an ugly butt.

[Barbie]

Hahahahaha nice take Pam!

[TARM]

I have 7 rabbits so you know what my advice is…lol

[MimzMum]

I dunno Jerz…trying to make a bond of two males and a female…who’s nutty enough to do something like that? *looks up in the sky and whistles* ^_^

I do think, even though I’ve no right to say, that Sarita has a point. Best find out what’s going on with Jersey before bringing any more onto your plate. He’s a lovely bun, true, but I think even as a foster, it might add to whatever is going on with Jersey and could cause her further distress.

lol @ Pam and the Ugly Butted Bunling…. xD

[Monkeybun]

Pam… there is no such thing as an ugly bunny butt. lol

[RabbitPam]

LOL

I stand (sit?) corrected.

actually that is a better scenario than 2 females and 1 male.

[jerseygirl]

ohmygoodness! Obviously you guys were taken with him too.  How to respond?……….

Ok, well it;s a “No”  In the light of day and I’m ok with it.  I have a feeling this guy will get snapped up anyway. Maybe he’ll introduce someone to the lovely world of bunnies.  I think I’ll still send an email and query as to the reasons why he’s being rehomed.  Probably terribly nosey of me but it can’t hurt. They can always ignore my email.

True to my style, I would have mulled over this (deliberated/procrastinated or whatever you like to call it) and then missed the opportunity anyway.  I had being imagining bringing him home and when I posted about him, it made it all seem a bit more real. Saying it “out loud” and I back-pedaled some. I may have commitment ithues… lol    I think this boy caught me unawares and normally when I look at the rabbits online, I prep with a “you can look but not have” mentality. 

@ Beka – He is like my av-vy! I seem to be haunted by these orangey buns. Tiger Muffin was a orangey harli and the bunny that was frequenting my parents veggy patch that I was planning to  ”rescue” was Orange.

@Maddie – I saw Dexter in him too.  But I must say, Dexters ears are the Best!

@ Sarita, RabbitPam & MM, the wise 3, ever the voice of reason, your thoughts are aligned with mine some. Isn’t that sensible? You may think different if you read of some of my “logic” below…

@ Mimz – yes, the trio thing. I know Petzy would encourage me here. But my Logic was – if I get a 3rd, I will get a 4th.   I’m more inclined to have 2 pairs. If I hypothetically got a 3rd I may try him with my pair but I’m not all that sure I want to change that.  I enjoy pairs. If I had 2 and one rabbit had passed away – I’d consider bonding the mate to the remaining pair.    The rex above is a 6month, unneutered male (i think). Not only would their be poop wars, but a teenage bunny to deal with and his possible lack of litter habits.  Again, my Logic was “Well, I’m already cleaning up poo & pee galore from a territorial female – so might as well go the whole 9 yards”

Oh! Did I tell you guys about the bonded trio I was fawning over a while ago?    Luckily they are no longer available.

 On and off for a while now,  I’ve considered doing some type of fostering. I wasn’t really aware this was done here much until fairly recently. There was an abuse bun at the rescue recently that needed some TLC. I considered him but he was taken of the listing not long after. Not sure on what happened. But that sort of thing would be great to do, work with a bunny and give them a transitional home. And have support around their care thru an organisation. 

Anyway, thanks guys for humouring me and sorry about this long post. I’m not entirley out of the danger zone but the weight of real life issues in very much facoring into my thoughts today.

Finally, @ RabbitPam re “the ugly butt”.   How shallow!           !

 

[RabbitPam]

LOL Jerseygirl! someone saved my bunny peas. I’m flattered. Still coming in handy.

[LittlePuffyTail]

Well you probably made the right decision. Hopefully some other sucker will fall for him…

[usagi]

It’s so easy to get sucked in. Good for you for doing what is right for you, even with all of us heckling in the background!

I have ALL your bunnypeas you posted here saved to my computer…they’re in here somewhere….*frantically rifles through files*…I was hoping you would make some more.

lol, Jerz…Wow…love that trio! Now THAT’S what I want to see from my three eventually! I could then die happy.

Congratualations for dodging the bunneh bullet. You’re a brave lass to think of fostering. I don’t think I could let go of anybun who crossed my threshold, despite really feeling I’ve caught my limit presently.

 

[usagi]

**what’s a bunny pea?**

[MimzMum]

Ah! Usagi…LOVE the new username! ^_^

That little icon that says HUMPH! in Jersey’s post is a bunnypea (although my daughter and I used to joke and call them bunnyPEAVES…since they frequently showed disgruntled bunnies…lol) which was an invention by RabbitPam to use for icons on the site many moons ago. (instead of the emoticons we have now, we were trying to get bunny-themed ones to use)

I think my favorite was LISTEN UP with the bun with one ear in the air. ^_^

[Lintini]

Your gonna be in trouble when they call you asking you if you want him after you email them!

[usagi]

 awww, mimz, glad you approve of the new username! this one is fiance-approved (*boyz*). bunnypeas are awesome! RabbitPam, you should bring them back! so cute!

[RabbitPam]

Gee whiz, thanks you guys. *blushes*

Found them! Here’s a link so I won’t hijack this thread:

If you had three rabbits already at your house — I would encorage you to try bonding, but if you are thinking of getting more bunnies, I feel that as with many things, sometimes less is more.

That is SUCH a lovely way to put it!!
