Hi! I am excited to find another great place to chat about house rabbits.

Current Bunnies:

Rebecca Lynn (Becky)- Mini Lop- Cinchilla- 4.5 pounds- bunwife to Gary- She was neglected and abused, she has permanent neurological damage from being hit in the head. Got her from CCSPCA.

Ghirardelli Square (Gary)- Mini Rex- Castor- 3 pounds- husbunny to Becky- He was going to be killed for DQ by the breeder. First and last rabbit show I went to, I just couldn't let him die.

Houdini Muppet (Bini)- English Angora- Cream- 5.5 pounds- husbunny to Sophie- His mom came from a hoarding situation in Canada. He was born at the rescue.

Sophie Bee (Sobee)- New Zealand/Flemish Giant Mix- Red- 10.5 pounds- bunwife to Houdini- She was a kid's pet until she got too big (hello, GIANT!) then they gave her to a farmer for meat. A rescue group took her in and that is where I found her.

My Rainbow Bridge Bunnies:

Indiana Bunns- mini lop- black and white- Indy was neglected and had many health issues. He had to have his left eye removed and was deaf on that side. He passed during emergency surgery for recurring abscess in the eye socket. He was Becky's first husbunny.

Cinderella Lu- mini satin- pointed- Cindi was an Easter bunny that grew up. She spent 4 years at the rescue because she was shy. After she trusted me she was a total snuggle bunny and gave lots of kisses. She was really fat from her years in jail, but loved to run so she was in tip top shape in no time. Unfortunately she developed seizures that we could not get to stop. She was Houdini's first bunwife.

My rabbits are free-roam indoors. They have a room they go to at night (NIC down the middle separating the pairs) and when we are not home, then run around the whole house when supervised. I am working on bonding the two pairs so they can play as a group. They have lots of toys and are rather spoiled. Becky and Gary are certified therapy rabbits through bunniesinbaskets.org

We also have 2 box turtles, 2 gerbils, 9 finches, and tropical fish. Everyone has been rescued other than the fish. I have a blog that I post lots of pictures to and chat about all sorts of things. I am MiniLopHop on wordpress.com

I keep up with BunniesinBaskets Facebook page and I think the whole organization is so wonderful. You must be very proud of your therapy buns. Would love to hear more about their work.

Thanks everybun! We are happy to be here. A few pictures of the buns at work:

Houdini got plucked for the summer tonight. It took an hour but he never fussed.

He is now all stretched out chilling in the living room and looking very proud of himself.

A big warm welcome to you and your buns! 

Cuteness overload in this post. So happy that you gave these gorgeous buns a better chance at life! 

I thought I should update my info. There are two more buns in the house

Last month a shelter worker posted on another forum I chat on that she had 3 days to find homes for 10 rabbits or they would be put to sleep due to lack of space at the shelter. I just couldn't stand it, particularly after seeing the little faces. WIth the help of very kind people we were able to find homes for all 10 in time! There were volunteer drivers that got the buns up the East coast one leg at a time. They came from Palm City Florida all the way to Virginia to drop off 4 in two homes. Then to Delaware to drop off one. Two are living with me in PA. The last three went to a home in NJ (the three amigos were such cute siblings we just couldn't split up!).

So without further ado- I give you Panda and Bunnicula!

Nothing phases Panda, he relaxed into the house so very quickly. I guess nothing is as scarry as deathrow.

Bunnicula is such a sweet little girl. The two had an instant bond after all the driving from Florida.

Christina, thank you for the warm welcome. I really have fallen head over heals in love with rabbits. They are so wonderful.

Becky got a really long snuggle last night. I fell asleep with her on my chest. My husband said she went to sleep too

All six went for an "unofficial" therapy visit to a co-worker's house to see his son. Sophie really doesn't have the personality but they all were wonderful with the little boy. He's 4 and disabled. He loved having the rabbits sit on his lap and stroke them. Here are a few photos from the visit.

Bunnicula and Panda passed the test with flying colors, so I will be going through the process to make them therapy buns since Becky had to retire.

I loved reading your story, and I am so happy you shared.  Going to be checking into Bunnies in Baskets, and I loved all your pictures.
