Bumper's first day.
I was driving to go get gas after work, when I saw something unusual. There is a certain spot on that road that always has something for sale, usually puppies. Earlier that day there were pit bull puppies, so that was what I was expecting to see again. But this sign was different.
It simply read:
Bunnys
I have wanted my cousins to get a rabbit for so long. They have never had a pet, their parents say they are irresponsible, but they honestly have never had a chance. When I say this, they respond that they killed all their fish. Well, that's because they can't go to the store and buy new filter media! And none of the adults in the house know how to care for them. But The oldest is a 7th grader, the youngest is a first grader, and then the middle is a 5h grader. They are all doing 4H, showing some of our cows. But honestly, I think that one should show a bunny.
So, I pulled over. There were so many cute ones. Most were orangey and orange and white, not sure what you call the color. Then there were some smaller ones, almost all black, some had a white paw or two. There was one that was a simmilar size and coat type to the black ones, but was a little smaller and seemed to have the best personality. So I brought him home for $10.
The man told me he was a miniature, and that he was 2 months old.
My cousins came over that day and met him. I call it a him, because it's easier, but I have no clue on gender.
They decided to name him Bumper.
Bumper was very ribby, and a bit lethargic. But he was eating and drinking well, and pooping a lot, lol.
That first day he seemed to have trouble with his hind legs, as you can see in the video:

Found Y'all!!!
I posted on here for the first time, lol! I found out that some on here think that he is a holland lop, and about 2-3 weeks old.
I'm told all sorts of advice, and honestly, I'm a little worried about what I've gotten myself into. But I vow to be responsible for my new bun, and do everything I can to make sure he is happy and healthy.
On an unrelated note, I had a horrid day at work that day. I don't think people realize that servers make $2 an hour, and depend on tips! I had a party of seven that was so hard on me, they had a 58.55 check and gave me 60 bucks and told me to keep the change. That kind of thing drives me crazy. Tip your servers!!!

Doing better!
Bumper weighs around 7 oz (the needle wouldn't stay still)
Bumper is around 6 or 6.5 inches from head to tail (the bun wouldn't stay still)
very active and curious, eyes are bright, doesnt seem dehydrated, loves his oatmeal.
I took another video of him, which I'll upload in a bit.
