Thought i would blog to keep records for myself and be able to reflect back on Boomers life and how far he has grown / come since the day we got him.
I will start right from the beginning........
Boomer was a product of a family party where someone thought it would be a fun idea to put the male rabbits with the female rabbits on Christmas day 2013. They had not planned of every having anymore baby bunnies and had separated all their rabbits. Boomer and 3 other kits were the result born on Australia day 2014.
I was planning to adopt a foster bunny from Grafton (a rabbit rescue) but was offered Boomer from my partners good friends parents. Once i seen the photo i could not resist the cute face ! a few weeks later (friday 7th March 2014) we picked Boomer up late one night with one of my good friends who is also a work colleague who came for the trip since she was thinking of getting a bunny herself.
As soon as i got there i was given the cutest little bunny i had ever seen !
my friend instantly fell in love with one of the white and grey coloured bunnies which she named Coconut.
We took the bunnies to my house and let them spend some times together before Coconut went home. Boomer was called Mr/Mrs Bunny back then because i couldn't think of any names.
Boomer instantly warmed up to his new home and surroundings. he eats non stop everything and anything and will do ANYTHING to get at the herb garden just outside of the door.
Boomer stands on his back legs to look out of the glass door and loves to climb. i think he looks a little like a kangaroo with big ears when he does this. Out of a small list of names more people than not have liked the name Boomer so Boomer seamed appropriate as it also means kangaroo and he was born on Australia day so a Aussie name suits.
Boomer is living the life on a indoor bunny between inside and the sunroom. He is very spoilt already and my son and i ADORE him. our niece also came to play for the day and just cant get enough of Boomer. One lucky bunny with all this love.
The people we got Boomer from were not 100% sure what boomer was but guessed a boy. i also tried sexing him myself from all the images and info online. i am leaning towards boy... but give it a few weeks and we will visit the vet for our first check up and whatever else he may need and the vet i'm sure will give us an accurate gender identification.
:heartbeat:
We love BOOMER!
