This is the new addition to our home....
I had went to a rescue looking for a
husbun for Hazel and was greatly disappointed.
The shelter was filthy. Every male I approached
would not even let me touch him. I did find
one I wanted but they said no
because he had just arrived
I was very discouraged and
I posted a post on FB and this young girl
about 13 contacted me that
said she had this male. 1 1/2 yrs. old.
He was not neutered or litter trained.
She didn't have room for him anymore.
It was a long drive to the West side of Michigan.
3hrs. one way but he was a trooper.
I had to move him to the bathroom on
the other side of the house
before he was neutered
because he was spraying like crazy.
I had never had
an adult male that was
almost 2 unaltered.
My new house has a lot of carpet
and I just don't want him
urinating on it.
I was worried if he would settle
down and take to the litter box.
Thankfully he's been neutered and
he is doing fantastic! Using
his box like a trooper.
He eats hay more than
any rabbit I have ever had.
He eats like he's ravished, and he eats almost
double of what Hazel eats.
He is very sweet and is
responding to his name.
His name was Bugs and I added
Bugs A Rue.
I will be calling him "Roo"
He does look similar to Benny Boo
only he has more blueish gray mixed
in with his fur.
We have nightly cuddles
which he seems to like. He sits still
and does bunny purrs.
He won't give bunny kisses(licks) to me.
Benny never did either. Both of my
girls do though.
So far we've had 3 bunny dates
in our neutral basement.
I think Hazel is pretty annoyed
at being put in a coral.
but I kind of want to take it slow.
She is still nippy with me if
she can smell him on me.
I believe he was a 4H project and he
has a bite in his nose from some other rabbit
getting too close.
He's learning lots of new things and
eating well and adjusting.
I am praying for a quick happy
bonding process!
