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! !
