[align=left]I decided to keep the same blog because I haven't used it that much. Well it seems like much longer, but 2008 is the year I got my first rabbits. I fell in love with rabbits in the summer of 2007, when my friend bought two netherland dwarf rabbits. I thought they were lovely and spent ages playing with them.[/align]
[align=left]A couple of months after that, the rabbits had their first litter. They past away and the same with the second, but the third litter survived and I fell in love with them. I asked my parents could I get one but they said no so I just thought I'd never get my own rabbits. I helped out at my friends house instead and played with their rabbits.[/align]
[align=left]A couple of months later, it was summer time and I wasn't long after celebrating my 15th birthday when my mam called me outside and told me, if I wanted to, I could spend my birthday money on a rabbit hutch and some rabbits, I was so happy and said yes. A couple of hours later we were on our way to get the rabbits.[/align]
[align=left]I was scared they would have none left in the petshop, because there aren't always rabbits there but luckily they had four. We picked out two but the owner said that they were reserved. So we chose two little blue brothers, they weren't very socialised and squeaked like rabbits do when their terrified, we chose a nice big hutch for them too that cost 200.[/align]
[align=left]We named the rabbits Bucky and Alfie, Bucky was my brothers and Alfie was mine. Unfortunatly, Bucky passed after just two days, it must have been the shock of a new home, he was just dead when I went out the next morning. My mam was in town so I called her and told her what happened and she went straight to the petshop to get another rabbit, which the petshop gave her for free, because my brother would be really upset. That was when we got Thumper.[/align]
[align=left]We got the internet a couple of days after we lost Bucky and I joined the Fuzzy-rabbit forum, I was amazed at peoples rabbits, the different breeds, the stuff that could happen to them, how rabbits could actually be cuddly pets. I spent the summer learning and improving my rabbits lives and by the end of the summer I had quite alot of rabbit knowledge in my head.[/align]
[align=left]Everything was good and the rabbits were happy, until Alfie reached maturity and started to fight with Thumper, I separated them and they lived side-by-side in separate cages, I planned to get them neuteured and try re-bond them.Unfortunatly, though Alfie passed away on the night of the 30th of September.[/align]

[align=left]As you can see from the picture he was quite small, and he was fully grown in that picture. We rang the vet and asked him why this could be happening. He said other people had called about these little blue rabbits, like what we had, someone was breeding them and they never lived very long, probably because they were in-bred and had weak hearts. So the petshop stopped buying from this breeder.[/align]
[align=left]On the 1st of October I was up town at lunch time with my friends, I decided to have a look in the petshop, just to see what they had, that's when I found Princess. I fell in love with this little girl and I had to have her. She was gorgeus and had a great personality. So I asked the guy in the petshop to reserve her and I bought her that evening.[/align]

[align=left]Both my bunnies are still here, and hopefully will be here for a long time to come.Princess also gave birth to 4 gorgeus babies on Christmas evethat were too gorgeus for this world and didn't stay long.[/align]
[align=left]So, 2008 has been a bunny filled year, here's hoping I have many more of them. [/align]
[align=left]Hoppy New Year everyone![/align]

Precious Pets, my dad knows the owner, they are usually really good in there and they stopped buying those rabbits. I got Princess in a different petshop though. I have to say the petshop I got Princess in is way better and they have gorgeus rabbits, especially lops. Any rabbits I get I'll be getting them there instead.

Can I ask you the name of the petshop you got Princess? Would you not breed Princess to a Lionlop ora mini lop? And then breeding one of the kits back to Princess? Like you are interested in breeding.
 
Ya I might if I get into breeding but right now I don't think I will be. Omg I can't remember the name of the petshop..you know the cinema in Ennis? Well it's down a lane beside that.
