Hi everyone! We are new here. We came over from http://www.bunspace.com. We have four bunnies at the moment, as well as one bridge bunny.
Raphael was out first bunny. He was a black and white English Spot with an off center spot on his face. He was rescued by my mother from a neglect situation in VT where he was kept outdoors year round in a dog cage with no bottom (directly on the wire) suspended on some bricks or something, and fed 'generic goat feed.' The owners had gotten him for $5 at a goat show. He survived in this way for at least three years. Another rabbit with him did not. She convinced them to give him to her and he lived with her for a few months before we took him in. He began the relationship by peeing on me! He was a wonderful bunny and we miss him very much. Sadly he passed away this past summer.
We could not stand not having a rabbit so we went and got Midir at www.yourspca.org. He is a harlequin and very friendly. We got ÃtaÃn, his girlfriend, at the same time, and they bonded quickly. She is a mostly white helicopter eared bunny with some tan spots. Over the next few months we also took in two more bunnies from the same shelter who had been there for a while (they are no-kill, but we felt bad for them), first Richard the Rabbitheart, who is an older hotot (probably 4-6 years) that no one wanted, and then Durinn, an albino who we think is maybe a New Zealand.
About the names: Midir and ÃtaÃn are a couple from Irish mythology. Richard is named of course for Richard the Lionheart (the shelter called him 'Ricky Ricardo' and we thought Richard was close). Durinn is named after one of the dvergar in Norse mythology (sometimes called dwarves, though many scholars think this is not correct).
