I'm Stephanie and I currently have a mini lop named Patches O'Houlihan. I'm a student at Stony Brook University and I sneek Patches in my dorm. =]
Ever since I was younger, I always wanted a bunny. My parents of course always said no. But, one day I was walking back from lunch when I was in high school and I saw this little tiny creature on the side of the road. It didn't really look like a bunny it was so tiny and it didn't really have the big ears. I thought it was fake at first because i got so close to it and it didn't move. So i poke it. It hoped. But I realized it was hurt so i scooped her up and hid her in my sweatshirt.i couldn't cut school soI snuck her in and kept her in my locker. It was only for an hour because I told my bio teacher and he gave me a box and newpaper to put her in. Well I brought her home and convinced my parents to keep her. I brought her to the vet to make sure she didn't have diseases and I found out she was only 4 weeks old. So I fed her that kitty milk sold at pet stores through a pipette. I watched her grow up and i became so attached to her. But since she was the kind of bunnies that need to live outside on their own (I believe a new england cotton tail) she ornly lived 2 years. I guess it was because she was in captivity . I gave her the best life I could though and I know she was happy.
Now I have Patches and I'm a little older and a lot more knowledgable because of all the research I've done. He's so awesome. I love him to death. He follows me everywhere and dances around my feet and lays next to me on the couch. The only thing thats starting to bother me is his puberty. He sprays me all the time and he poops everywhere when he used to go back inhis cage to do his business. I am really thinking about neutering him but I heard they can die because of the anesthesia. And I'm also concerned that it might be too late to reverse all this bad behavior. He's 8 months old. Do you think it's too late?
