Meet Rune!

[Cati]

Hey everyone,

Finally got my rabbit. Meet Rune, he's an 8 week old 3/4 Flemish Giant, 1/4 Satin mix. He's doing really well so far; I expected him to be very skittish when I got him, but he's been very chill about everything. Seems healthy too, but I'm working on getting his first vet appointment scheduled.

Considering his age, I assume I have about a month until he turns into a holy terror, haha.





Loving him so far, here's to hoping things go well!

ADORABLE!! Enjoy your furry friend!

What a fluff ball! I love Flemishs! I'm curious, his fur like a Satins?

 

[Cati]

Nope, normal fur — he has Satin in his ancestry but it’s a recessive gene I believe. Hopefully the Satin in him will make him a little smaller. I want a big rabbit but 20 lbs could but getting carried away!

Lol! Flemish giants are HUGE

Very cute.

Lol! Flemish giants are HUGE

Right? So far Rune is only 2.7 lbs at 8 weeks -- I think most pure Flemish are 4 lbs at this time, so maybe he won't be quite as big? I'm excited to find out.

Aw! I just love it when I have a very affectionate bunny. They love to "groom" their owners!

Latest of Rune!



Rune went to the vet today, and it turns out, Rune may actually be a she! The vet said she was 75% sure, but we'd know for certain once she's old enough for the spay/neuter surgery.

We went to the animal shelter years ago as they had an ad for a "mixed male mini". I picked her up, checked her and showed them how to tell a male from a female--they were mixed up, not her. She was a mix of Dwarf/Mini--you can't see here face in the avatar pick, but she had the Netherland face and shorter ears. Rune is gorgeous.

Such a pretty rabbit!
There is always a chance you get the gender wrong, lol!

 

[CrazyChickenGirl]

I love his (or her) color!

Welcome to the forum!
Aww! What a kissy-go-lucky bunny! You better cherish them like none else, landing on such a sweet one is a lottery win in my books. Reminds me of my boy Lümi - I'd sometimes have to run away from him because he liked to kiss me too much.
