Hippo! - U/D: He's here! (pics)

On Tuesday evening I will be picking up Hippo from his foster mom!!! Over the next few months Brynn and Hippo (and Tori) will hopefully fall head over heels in love and then I will get to officially adopt him!

If you haven't seen him/read his story yet, please check him out at http://www.rabbitrescue.ca/adoption/malerabbits.html (He's about the 7th one down)

Oh, you decided to go for Hippo - brilliant news!

He is so sweet and he sounds absolutely perfect for you - he looks as if he will fit right in with Tori as well as Brynn. I love the little video clip - so sweet.

I do like the bit about not chewing things he isn't supposed to and his amazing litter box habits - sounds like the perfect housebunny!

Looking forward to seeing pics of him in his new home and hearing updates. Good luck on Tuesday!

Wow, he looks perfect what a cutie. Sounds like he'll fit in with Brynn and Tori really well.

Good luck can't wait to see and hear more about the gorgeous guy!

Pictures please !

Fantastic news

I am so excited for you and Brynn - he sounds the perfect little guy for her.

Looking forward to hearing more about him

Oh he is adorable!! Can't wait to see pics of him settled in to his new home!

I'm so bummed!! I've got the flu so I can't go get him today... now it probably wont be until the weekend when I get him. Ugh, I hate being sick!

Awww that is a shame. Hope you're better soon. You'll have a lovely time at the weekend settling him in and putting Brynn's nose back into joint. Poor Tori, two buns to keep an eye on!

Aw, that's really frustrating for you!

Hope you feel much better soon and are able to bring Hippo home at the weekend.

Ow, that's not nice if you were looking forward so much.
He looks very cute, sure they will be very happy soon!

Hope you feel better soon and the bunny dating can get underway

Okay! Let's try this again!!

I work this morning, but this afternoon I am off to pick up HIPPO!!!

I will update as soon as I get him settled in and I'll post pics!!

Needless to say I am SO excited!

Hope all goes well and you soon have a happy couple on your hands! We need lots of pictures.

He's here!!!

Poor guy suffering the fate of my smooches!


Here he is in his temporary cage


He's NOT a little guy. He's no Matisse or Bella, but he's huge in comparison to the Brynnster!!! He's about the same size as Tori. Who he is already buds with!

I can imagine Brynn, in a corner gnashing her little teeth into some bars. Let me at him! How dare he SPEAK to my cat!

He is lovely. I hope it goes well with them. It should do as he seems really placid. Looking forward to smoochy bunny piccies.

Ooh, isn't he gorgeous. I am so thrilled he is home with you and Tori and Brynn

Look at him with Tori He seems a very chilled out guy, I am sure that bodes well for him and Brynn.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo

Okay... this bonding HAS to work out because I am completely smitten! It's only been a day, but he is already settled in. He is such a little luv bug! He is a suck and will snuggle up on the couch for some loving or will come bunny flop next to me if I'm sitting on the ground.

He and Tori are nearly inseparable... they are clearly going to be partners in crime while princess Brynn sits by giving them "what are you doing?" looks. . From Hippo's days on the streets he has developed a bit of food aggression and he will eat anything including human food. It makes sense since he was so starving and underweight when he was found... he was probably forced to eat anything he could. Tori, though never homeless, also has a food obsession from her past life (as a very overweight cat). The two of them are immediately in-tuned to the sound of the fridge opening and they both "help" me out by basically climbing into the fridge! Tori has also taught Hippo how to open the lower cupboards... thanks Tori!

I feel so bad that Brynn can't come run around out in the living room like she normally does . I have a baby gate set up so she can still run around in the other rooms, but it's not the same. They have sniffed one another through the baby gates, but basically just ignored one another. I hope the bonding goes smoothly and quickly... I don't know how I would give him back!

I wish you could all see him... his name is so fitting. I never would have picked it, but it describes him so well. He's big and kind of goofy! He's not a graceful guy, and he always manages to run into a wall, knock something over, or crash into me or Tori in the midst of a binky!!




On the drive home.

Hippo sounds adorable It also sounds as though he believes he is a cat!

How soon can you start bonding proper?

Oh My, Hippo is just beautiful You have exquisite bunny taste EM

Good luck bonding vibes for your 3

Just catching up - I'm so glad you've got him home. He's gorgeous!! He sounds like such a character. I love his face in the pic where you're kissing him - he's sort of tolerating you!
