It wasn't intentional- I am a volunteer where he is being housed and had to pick him up for him to be photo'd and microchipped and our eyes met...
I'm in the market for a boy bunny since my last one passed away in November, leaving a now widowed female bunny, but the little bit of magic that's made me think about him for the last week and a bit took me slightly by surprise.
Anyway, before I commit to anything, I wanted to do research etc... I've never had a long haired rabbit before so I'm hoping for some advice (I've also been Googling...). He has no named breed unfortunately, he's a cross-breed, but he is definitely not an Angora and doesn't quite have the same afro look as one of those! I gave him a groom today, which he was quite polite about...
Of course I'm reading about some stuff that is perhaps fairly common sense, such as regular (daily) grooming, more prone to flystrike, keep them clean, types of bedding etc... but there's no substitute for experience generated from people who have had long haired bunnies of their own and might give answers to questions I wouldn't think of!
I admit though, I'm pretty nervous... He's a sweet little baby and I've certainly got time to groom him a lot, but I don't want to be bad at it all
