Some were shocked
& some were just plain horrified!
That was until Stomper pointed something vital out....

Volunteers and associates of
The Rabbit Residence Rescue
share experiences of our
tiny fluffy friends.
I LOVE Meadow and Stilton but sometimes they can be such fusspots when it comes to which veg they think is worthy of being called breakfast...
Your fuzzy-faced little wish is my command, oh tiny Rexy one!
Is that Meadow?
Oh wow! She looks so cute and adorable! Maybe those months she spent as a house rabbit made her sweeter and less demanding??!!
And normal service resumes...
However dedicated people are to their bunnies, however much they adore them, life moves pretty fast and even the best owners can experience unexpected changes to their circumstances that mean they are unable to keep them. Regardless of the current intake situation, RRR will always be here to welcome back former residents when necessary.
And with that in mind, today I arrived at the Rescue to see an old friend waiting for me! Not that he seemed that pleased to see me...
And of course he brought back Mrs Pleased-To-See-Me with him...
Bunnies, eh? Feel the love and appreciation just emanating from those little velvet bodies...
If I were to have adopted another pair of rabbits after Whisky passed away, top of my list without question were our beautiful Rexes Meadow and Stilton. I love them to bits. Sure, they have the odd gunky eye problem, but they are right little characters and very photogenic - they would have been perfect sources for the sort of lazy/crazy Sunday posts Whisky always provided us with here on the blog.
Now as a volunteer, once you make that connection with rabbits at the Rescue, it can be all the more saddening to see them there every week without a family of their own. Well no more, for I am pleased to announce that on Saturday they went to a new home, where their new human parents seemed as excited about their arrival as could be.
Good luck in your new family guys! We look forward to hearing about all the mischief you get up to once you have settled in!
Tiny blue mini-Rex Meadow went to a new home last week as partner to someones own handsome blue Rex.
Unfortunately there have been a few tensions back on his home turf, this does happen occasionally, so we are just waiting to hear how it's going. They may well need a second honeymoon on neutral territory back at the Rescue to decide they are right for each other, but fingers crossed things will work out for her.
In the meantime, from last weeks bonding session, here's her cute little breakfast-hole in a great big Monday-Mouf close-up!
There was a loud crash behind me, the door swung shut and suddenly the room was plunged into an impenetrable darkness. I could feel a chill draft against my cheek. And then it started.
[thump]
That sound. Like a broken heart beat.
[thump]
Every fibre of my being screamed at me to run, but as I could see nothing in the blackness I held fast. Then slowly, oh so slowly, I edged away from the sound, feeling along the floor with my feet, but somehow it only became louder.
[thump]
My own heart beating heavy in my chest, pulse pounding in my ears, and yet still, that terrible sound...
[thump]
I could take it no more, I turned, I lurched forward, but my feet caught something on the floor and I fell.
[thump]...[thump]
As I threw my arms out before me to save myself, the bucket slipped from my hands and clattered away into the dark.
[thump]...[thump]...........[chompchompchomp..]
And there, right in front of me, a tiny terrifying shape appeared from the dark and fixed me with its eyes. At that moment I knew. I just knew.
[thump]
I'd never forget to include a small piece of carrot with Meadows breakfast again.
