Meet My Bunnies - Rabbit Awareness Week

As this is the blog I set up and the fact it is "Rabbit Awareness Week" I thought it would be a good idea to tell you about my own beautiful bunnies. Sadly they all passed away within 11 months of each other but still very much missed. Please note all the buns we have had have been house bunnies. Our other dearly beloved pets were Anakin and Tremble (male buns) and Squingey (male Chinchilla)

"Daisy Bo" - with us from 24/5/08 - 28/11/13

"Hurry up and take the picture, I'm getting anxious!"

Daisy came to us via a friend who rescued her - she had been badly treated and psychologically not in a good way. After a month we took in another bunny called "Bud" and this is just what Daisy needed to help her settle down - he quickly became her "husbun". They had 5 years and 3 months together and gave us so much pleasure and joy. Daisy is our famous bunny who has now appeared in "Rabbiting On" Magazine twice, once on the front cover! Daisy was also our first female bunny.

"Bud Bo" - with us from 28/6/08 - 29/9/13

"Is this my best side?"

My husband Lance fell in love with Bud before we even got Daisy and always made it clear we would have a home for him if the owners could not keep him anymore. That day arrived a month after Daisy and within an hour of getting the phone call asking if we could take him in he arrived in our house. He quickly bonded with Daisy and his laid back ways helped Daisy calm down and they were inseparable right up to the end.

"Honey Bo" - with us from 30/9/08 - 29/12/12

"Whoops, you caught me"

Honey came to us via a neighbour whose children had become bored of having a pet. We took her in thinking we could bond her with Daisy and Bud. Daisy made it very clear this was not going to happen so Honey became our upstairs bunny and my husband's very special pet.  She was so loving and sweet and we had a very close bond with her as she lived upstairs. She loved to jump on our bed and get me up at 4am. Unfortunately she was the only bunny we ever had that died at the vets and not at home -something we find very hard to deal with.
