Welcome! This blog was made to showcase the wonderful bunnies that I used to foster with my boyfriend Jack in Leeds. Now we have our own bunnies to look after; Bonnie and Winnie, so the blog will be about them and other bunny related stuff.

The last 2 weeks in bunnies

So it has been a while since the last post so a lot has happened!
Firstly, Cadburys have this out at the moment:

Yum!

Secondly, my bunny watch finally came!


Thirdly, we spent a lot of money at Ikea. We bought this dolls bed which is perfect size for bunnies and also this broccoli teddy as it was too cute...our excuse is that it is for the bunnies. We have now put our 18 inch oval vet bed on the bed as it is pretty much perfect in size for it, and is nice and cuddly.


So now for important news. Unfortunately we were struggling to house train Bertie, and in a rented flat that becomes a problem. We are lucky that we just foster buns and have the option to swap rabbits, but it is important that this usually is not an excuse to get rid of a rabbit and they are a ten year commitment. We feel really bad about having to swap him. Obviously if he was our actual bunny we would have just got an outdoor set-up. The main reason we foster is because at current our circumstances are not such that we could make allowances for a bunny in the way we need to and adapt to our bunnies needs.

He's the most friendly bunny we have ever had and if he could wee in the right place he would love to be a house bunny and get lots of cuddles. However if you didn't have an indoor set-up where big wee accidents was an issue, he would enjoy being outside (he loves to munch on grass) with a little wifey. He would still want lots of head rubs though!

Here are some of the final pictures we have of him:
Bertie likes rose because it matches his eyes



We took him outside for a run but all he did was eat grass for 2 hours...


Pleasssssse can I have some pudding?!

And now for our new bunny annoucement...BELLA!

Bella is a young (born June 2013)  French Lop who weighed 6 kg when she first arrived at Camp Nibble. She has lost a lot of weight but to be mean, she's still a bit of a fatty so we have her on a diet!

Her 'real' name is Cowbella which personally I think is horrible (even if that is a childrens character) so we have been calling her Bella/Belly/Bell.

She's amazing!! So far I cannot find anything wrong with her. She eats her hay, she's very well litter trained, she likes nose rubs, she's fairly friendly, she's relaxed and she has her rushing-around-like-a-lunatic moments. And that's within 24 hours of being here. What more could you want?! I can't wait to see what she's like when she has settled in!

Because of her size we have set her up in the bedroom for now, using the pen differently from normal. When we can trust her we think we might have her out 24/7.
Here she is:
