Hello!
My name is Libby, I’m from the New York area. Through out my life, I’ve had 2 bunnies for many years each. I’ve always loved bunnies. Without knowing that I had bunnies, my 9 year old son started asking for one. Eventually, I caved but I didn’t tell him I caved. Instead I started looking around for bunnies (I wanted to start him with a young bunny.) I found a nearby breeder with a couple of litters that would be available within the next couple of weeks but she had 2 older bunnies available (left over from previous litters.) One was a grey/white male Holland lop and the other was an black female Holland lop (she’s 4 weeks older than the male.) I showed my son the pictures of both (I figured he’d go for the boy because of the coloring and the fact that it’s a male - keep in mind my son IS only 9.) But the second he saw the picture of the all black female, he took off his glasses and covered his face. I asked him what was wrong. He said, “She’s so cute I could cry!” and he burst into tears. For the rest of the night, he’d ask me to see the picture and he’d tear up whenever he saw it. For whatever reason, his heart just melted for her. While he was with his father this weekend, I worked to get everything ready for the bunny. She’s home now. (My son still doesn’t know). But he mentioned that if I agreed to let him have the bunny, he would name her “Queen Raven.” So this is our Queen Raven.
Ps. This is obviously going to be a combined effort. I have had 2 other bunnies and so this will be a learning experience for my son, but of course I will be the one teaching him. I think it’s important to teach a child to care for a pet young, like my parents taught me. In the past, I didn’t know about these kinds of rabbit communities so I’m happy to join!
