Hello all!
Iâm Sandra, 24, from Québec City in Canada. I have a bachelorâs degree in Translation, and Iâm working in a car dealership. I have a wonderful man in my life to whom Iâm happily engaged (the weddingâs in september!). Iâm also a new bunny lover and owner, I had actually never thought Iâd end up having bunnies in my house one day as I only had cats before, but with my fiancé being allergic to both cats and dogs, and with the help of some bunny owner friends, I just went âWhy notâ, and I donât regret that move at all!
And so we went on our way to get Pooky in a Pet Shop, she was such an adorable small doe (sheâs almost a year and a half now). Sheâs been spayed when she was six months old. Sheâs still pretty easily scared, but she does have her attitude (she just didnât want to have anything to do with us for a whole three months period after her spaying!). We just love our âlittle chickâ (now that was a very literal translation for âpetite pouleâ, which is her actual French nickname...!).
Picture:
(Caught dozing off)
At one point, we didnât like seeing her in a small cage on the floor. She couldnât even hop three times in a row... So I went on the Internet and Tada! We found ourselves building a three-floor bunny condo in which I could stand straight (before adding the floors, of course). She absolutely loved it! She loved it so much that she just wouldnât even budge when was letting the door opened for her to get out. And still today, I do have to âhelpâ her making a decision.
And then, even if she was in a luxurious condo, she seemed so alone in it... So we first tought about buying a new rabbit (this time, from a breeder), but we ended up in a bunny shelter. We did not bring any rabbit home on the first trip (they were all too big for the condo... and for Pooky!). But on the second one, on December 31[suP]st [/suP]2011, Chance was coming home.
We donât know much of Chanceâs story, except that he was abandoned when winter was setting in (so many wrongs from the previous owners on this!). A man saw him on his property and he decided he wanted to rescue him and bring him to the shelter instead of seeing him die because of the cold. Chance was obviously starving, he was so skinny...

(Isnât he photogenic now?)
Chance is everything Pooky is not: he (over)explores and he doesnât get all stiff when we pick him off the ground. Heâs a bit clumsy though. est tout le contraire de Pooky : hyper explorateur, il se laisse prendre sans se raidir dâun coup. He adopted us as much as we adopted him.
He got neutered a bit after we got him, but he took it well. He is now becoming Pookyâs best friend (canât say itâs easy, but itâs definitely not impossible!).
So thatâs my story. (I didnât think I would write so much for an introduction...!)
Iâll keep posting about my very own experience at bunny-bonding and condo-building!
Also, to congratulate anyone whoâs read all this, hereâs a threat (that picture was taken when they had never been let out together at the same time):
