OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

So far, Tossu isn’t all that impressed with what little he has thus far seen of his new girlfriend, Sukka.
He’s a little of the opinion that he shouldn’t have to share his humans with anyone, and he thinks losing half of his territory for a few months is a steep price to pay for getting a lady friend… but I’m sure it will all turn around once they’re properly bonded!Sukka is a ten-week old French lop that we got from her breeder on Sunday. She’s going to be the companion of my very rambunctious 8-month-old New Zealand Red boy Tossu, once she gets sterilized. So far, she’s turned out to be a shockingly calm individual, though I suppose that’s not unusual for French lops… We’re eagerly awaiting getting to know her better!
I’m having some issues getting used to her lopness after having dealt with straight-eared bunnies until now – her head always looks like it’s “unnaturally low” to me, even though she’s holding it at a normal angle, I feel like I could step on her little ears at any moment, etc… This will certainly be a change from my rabbits so far. I’m also a little terrified (and excited, of course!) of what challenges her future size will bring, apparently her mother is quite a large lady! Even if she were to turn out a small French lop, she will be larger than any of my bunnies so far. I’ve always wanted a Frenchie, so I’m very excited about this. <3
She’s a bit of a diva – apparently, ovens can be used as mirrors!
“What is that thing over there, and when is it leaving?” says Tossu!

Tossu’s stitches from his castration on Friday have healed well enough that I pulled the puppy pen I’m using to keep him far away from Sukka’s cage a bit closer to Sukka, so that Tossu has more room to run… and look how calmly things went! They’re still unable to touch, and I’d originally put up some fleece blankets to stop them from being able to see each other, but those were pulled down very quickly.
For clarity: first, there’s Sukka in the corner of her Great Dane-sized dog crate up against the wall, then there’s a 90cm high puppy pen about 5cm from the outside of Sukka’s cage… and then there’s Tossu, calmly chilling near the outside of the puppy pen. This is amazing, yay! This makes it so much easier to give both the bunnies enough runtime, if they can stand having a bit of eye contact without flipping out.

I’m sure it will turn out fine.- You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
