We rescued a bunny: Jasper

He has been there for ages so we (for 'we' read 'I') took pity and brought him home. I will get some pics but he is a bit like a Dutch - black with a white 'saddle' across his front legs, white toes and a white nose :luv:

Please don't shout mum

As if I would!

Where did you find this particular bundle of bunnyness then?

Was this the one you mentioned in another thread the other day?

I was about to ask this, is it the one form the pet shop?

Aww that is nice. You're such a sweetheart.

yes.

I am sad to say it is a little man from a pet shop who has been there for months. He was the only guy left and has been for a while.

I know it does no good to buy from pet shops but this guy was in but if I can change the world for one (ok, five) little rabbit...

I am very conflicted about the fact that I bought him from there but all the cute baby ones go in a heartbeat. I fear the brown bunny I spoke of before got sold to either KFC next door or the chinese restaurant on the other side I just can't see how she would have been overlooked for months and miraculously sold the minute I decide to go look for her.

He is settling in well. Hazel has had a few scuffles with him but she'll argue with anything. He is very timid bless him (not surprising from being stuck in a tiny indoor cage (outdoors in the heat) with two guinea pigs (they were the tiniest things I've ever seen - must have been 3 inches long nose to bum) with no shelter and a wire floor. But he is doing ok. Has had a sniff about. He is even smaller than Bob

Ah, you absolutly did the right thing. I have seen one in our local pet shop that has been there for months and he is quite big too. Its heartbreaking I know.
Yours is a very lucky rabbit now and I am sure he will settle in a treat.
Go On You!!

pics please!

Awww, that's lovely!

PICCIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for new bunnehs! Ooh yes, pics Helen!!

Hazel has been having a go at him this morning. The Brunei Buns are outside while Nerie is cleaning. Littlebun is in his carrier for the time being. I am going to try bonding in the bathroom.

Here he is:




His 'Dutch' side:

Oh my, he's a stunner :luv: I would have done the same Helen, I can't think why he wasn't snapped up TBH. When I was in France we stopped off for a coffee and there was a garden centre with buns. There was one chap in a tiny cage under a light, very hot and bothered. When we called in on the way back, 10 days later, he was still there, looking very distressed. If I hadn't been about to fly, he'd have been in my bag for sure. Sometimes our thoughts of the right thing mean that little lives like him are left to suffer, I can't bear it either.

He's so cute, I can't stop looking at him

What a cutie :luv:

I would have done the same. Fingers crossed that the bonding goes well xxx

Awwww maaaaaan, he's well cute!

he's GORGEOUS!!!!! i'm glad he's now got a happy home :-)

i had better warn you - he looks very naughty! Has that look in his eye that he may be looking sweet and innocent now but he already has some secret escapades planned! :luv:

LOL Well he's very frightened of Hazel. I'm not surprised - she's twice his size at least lol.

I have them in the bathroom at the mo as every time she goes near him he legs it so she chases him.

He is such a looker! No wonder you snapped him up. He will just have to bat those beautiful eyes at Hazel a few times and she will see what a babe she has for a husbun. Silly girl she should be delighted.

I agree - there's a definite look in his eye that reminds me of my Bella - I think he's going to be great fun

He's lovely Helen and I don't blame you at all for rescuing him. He's gorgeous :luv:

Hes a lovely boy,I'm sure he'll come out of his shell once he's settled in a bit with the others.

and whats more - the pet shop has started selling HAY!!!!

thank god. it is half decent as well so no more astronomical postage fees from the UK

He is in surprisingly good nick for an abused bunny but I suppose all the others were too. It never ceases to amaze me that rabbits who have nothing but unlabelled 'home made' pellets and nothing else can have such nice teefs!

How in the name of all things mad have I missed this!?!?!??!??!!?! He is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done H, don't think I could have left him either.

LOL you wazzock Charl

He's beautiful - I'm in love! :luv:

Actually, he looks a lot like Tibbler and Nibbler Poor little bunster. Yea for H, rescuer of buns! :cheer:

Well technically I am funding the breeding of more little buns... But I couldn't just leave him there. The amount of times I'd walked past him and the brown bun
