I am adopting a bunny!!

[bbgrl20]

For sometime now , as stated in previous posts,I have been looking for a mate for Mocha. So today after I got out ofschool I went to our local animal shelter and found the cutest orangewhat looks to be possibly netherland dwarf bunny!!:inlove:

I was so excited:colors: He won't be available till tomorrow , but Ihave a hold on him so tomorrow morning I am going back down to theshelter and paying for him, then he has to stay a week before I takehim home because he needs to be neutered.

As soon as I get my phone working (I took photos of him with it) I'llpost them so I can show everyone my new addition to myfamily!!:bunnydance:

Now I just have to come up with a name for him:dunno

Does it look like he could be netherland dwarf?

 

[peapoo_bunny]

I know , I know I think I am going to go crazywithin that week!!:nerves1 Now I am worried about the neuter and hopingeverything goes smoothly. I don't want to lose him before I even havehim! Hopefully this week goes by fast.

I was thinking about naming him keoki and calling him keo for short, what you all think?

 

[peapoo_bunny]

oh wow!! i didnt notice you have to wait a whole wk! i would go crazy!!:disgust:

keoki is a cute name

What a sweet boy! A week just gives you that much time to get his cage ready!

 

[bbgrl20]

Yeah, A WEEK!! Apparently they just recieved himthis week and have not done the neuter :?. And you know animal shelterswont let animal go without them being altered...so I am counting downthe days until he will be at he's forever home.

 

[bbgrl20]

True, I do need to figure out where he isgoing to go and build his cage until him and mocha are bonded, butstill...I am anxiously waiting:waiting:

I hope they get along, but I wont know until amonth after his neuter, right? B/c he could still have sperm? At leastthey'll be able to sniff each other thru the wire!!

Just be careful to put the cages at a distance from eachother, I'veread that bunnies can still mate through the wire even if their cagesare a few centimetres apart.

yeah i have read this many times myself when i was doing a lot ofresearch on bunnies,a lot of people have experienced this and they werequite shocked when their females have become pregnant without evenbeing near the male,their cages were just a tad to close to each otherlol,i suppose it just proves that sometimes a bunny is just one stepahead of their owners lol




you must be hanging out to get get your new bun home with you,he is a handsome little fella

[bbgrl20]

OH wow!! If you guys didnt tell me that I wouldof had a litter of bunnies on my hands!!! :shock2:I cant believe theyare able to do that!

:thanks:for the info!!



PS

I went to go visit him today and I just wanted to take him out of his cage and casually leave the shelter!:lookaround

 

[naturestee]

Hee hee! Just tuck him under your shirt!

 

[bbgrl20]

Exactly what I was thinking!!

 

[bbgrl20]

The animal shelter called yesterdayand I went and got him today!!! I let him explore when i first broughthim home. Once Mocha noticed there was another bun she was nothappy. She was thumping up a storm!!lol

they sniffed each other through the cage and there was no biting or trying to attack, so I think that is a good sign.

I am just so happy that he is home!!:colors: I believe he iscomfortable in his cage he has been doin a lot of dead bunny flops!!lol
