Guess who is coming to live with me!

I am absolutely going to keep his name. I just love it. (My son said, 'What Dave? Like the TV channel!')

I had spotted him but then saw that Thumper2001 was interested, so didn't say anything. When she seemed to reconsider, I PMd her to ask if she minded after I posted on her thread. Having met him, she realised he is too insane to be an indoors bunny although she has visitation rights.

I plan to get a girl bun for him once he's over his operation. (Don't want any more mini-Daves!). The two girl buns at the Centre are too much like him so I might wait until his old mate is recovered from her babies and see if that is a plan.

Oh my god that is the best news! Like you all I fell a little in love with Dave!

Brilliant brilliant brilliant news. X

[b]not been on for a while who's Dave

This is Dave

http://www.scottishspca.org/rehoming/animal/7512_dave

He is at the SSPCA centre in Aberdeenshire. He and his mate had babies and they are also at the centre but are too young for rehoming just now. I have provisionally reserved two of them but I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to take them. I have 3 weeks to think about it

[b]Just looked he lovely and a lucky boy whats the problem with the two liitle bunns if you dont mind me asking

I don't know to be honest. It's only been 9 weeks since I lost Thumper and I'm not sure if I'm ready to take them on. I don't know that I'll ever be ready to take more bunnies on. I've been round the houses thinking about it and I'm driving myself (and everyone on here!) mad with it.

If I can't have Thumper, I'm not sure I want anybun

But they are mini-Daves!

DAVE!!! Oooh, what wonderful news! So excited he will become a Hopper

[b]I know exactly what you meen when my Jake passed away he was my first bunn and my Bunny sole mate we had him from him being very young he followed me everywhere I vowed I would never have any more as it cut me up so much. Then my daughter pointed out Ruffin and I was just the same after long debates with myself I came to the conclusion that Ruffin needed a bit of luck in her life as up till then she haddn't now I know it was the rite decision. We are all different and greave in different ways and it is very hard when any pet passes away. I am sure you havent been driving anyone on here mad as I like to think that we all understand. Good look with whatever you decide

I just had this hunch a few days ago that you'd take him Nickie, I'm so happy & what a brilliant outcome Don't you dare change his name

I bet he has no idea of how much wanted him to become a Hopper - A new star I think. Congrats

There is no way his name is changing! I thought it was a fabulous choice - after having a rabbit called Wolfgang, I have standards to maintain!

Gawd, I hope Saacha has a mellower gene to cancel it out a bit

Thank you for sharing that It's good to know you managed to move forward with no regrets. I only hope I can come to a decision some day soon. The war in my head is getting pretty boring

Are you not having 'Po' Nickie as she is gorgeous

I did ask them about Po and Thumper, but the lady at the centre said 'they were a pair of minxes' and that they proposed to rehome them as single buns.

I gather that Dave is totally insane and is a real live wire so a quieter doe will be required. I am toying with the idea of seeing how his previous partner, Sasha, is when the babies go.

I hope it's not a litter of 4 boys or you might have a fight for Saacha on your hands

If I go for any of course....

You get first dabs on Mrs Dave! I am very happy to just have his Daveness.

Thanks! Although, it would be such a happy ending to their story if they end up back together

(And I get 2 of the babies. Now all we need to do is find someone to take the other two One big hopper family!)

Who else lives in Scotland who can have the other two baby Daves?!

Thumper, are you going to do Dave for child maintenace for them?

Ha! I never thought of that! Nickie, where do I send the invoice?

Sounds like exactly your sort of bun

I am very pleased to hear this - I had also realised this was in the offing, I didn't think Thumper2001 would object to Nickie taking him. I am very glad to have another loopy long eared agouti on the forum - I will be very impressed if he can outdo Flo in the loony stakes! I am also hoping that Saacha can join him. In the pics her babes look large enough to be leaving her soon.

Oh, this wonderful news! Dave is one incredibly lucky bunny! Enjoy him!

They are 5 weeks old Cheryl, I'm not sure how old they should be when they leave mum

If my Mum is anything to go by, she will be thoroughly fed up with them by 8 weeks

Then they need to move on to learning how to annoy humans instead
