Since Rossie passed away Jim whilst he has been OK is not his usual self. Him and Rossie had been together and so loved up for as long as anybody can remember that it must have hit him really hard  Sad .
I am wondering whether to get another lone female bunn and try to bond it with him just not sure what his reaction may be, whilst it could never replace Rosie and I wouldnt want to I wondered if it may help Jim
My main questions are, does anyone think its a good idea, am I better getting A more mature bunn, does anybody know of a decent rescue around sheffield/Yorkshire and finaly will the poor bunn need sycological treatmen in the future having to live next to the crazy gang  Laughing

I think its a wonderful idea Rob x

Many buns go on to have second (and third etc) partners after the other ones pass. Bonding will need to be done, but I know that you would be offering a wonderful home to a bun x

Ruffin, I got Vernon from furry friends. 
If we can arrange a date I will happily provide the run but will have to get the money for petrol. If you want pm me your postcode and I check the mileage on the aa so I can give an estimate.

My BJ came from BARC at Barnsley, I can recommend them too.

Angie would also carry out bonding, especially if there is more than one ladybun to try Jim with.

That would be Angie - bunnymadhouse. She rarely visits here now as she is so busy. Your best bet would be to contact through

I have just checked.
The round trip would come up to 485 miles with estimated travel time of 10 hours. I will need to take some breaks I guess.
My thinking is to collect her in the evening and maybe have her staying her one night in separate hutch and run to continue the journey to you next day. Let's see what Anna suggests too.
