A new family member
June 24, 2008
Hubby and I took a holiday break last week, so I sent my precious bun Kenji to a holiday home for one week.
This holiday home is run by a Dutch girl who loves bunnies and she also runs an adoption center for rabbits. When I visited her place, I was amazed at how generous she allows the bunnies to run around in a corner of her garden, separated from other animals in her garden like dog, goats and chickens. I did mention to her that if possible, do help Kenji find a girlfriend. I noticed he is getting very quiet and bored these days especially during the time when I went through my initial pregnancy days struggling with morning sickness and tiredness. Though my hubby does play with him, he is still closer to me than him. He is obviously happier after my first trimester days but I still feel that he needs a REAL rabbit companion, which gives him the type of love and care that we human can’t provide.
When I returned one week later to collect Kenji she happily told me that she managed to bond Kenji with another baby girl!
“It was love at first sight!” she told me. I was thrilled!!
I bonded rabbits before and I know the kind of process that a rabbit owner and the rabbits need to go through. It can take a few days up to a few months depending on the gender and temperament of the rabbits. Love at first sight kind of bonding is rare! Of course I won’t let her go!
She is a beautiful, tortoise otter (fox) colour lionhead, 10-week old, and she is visibly smaller in size compared to Kenji who is coming to 2-year old.
I pet Kenji’s head and told him that he has a good taste!
