Piggies&buns – bunnies!

[Piggies&buns]

My bunnies decided it was time they had their own thread!

We have the almost 8 year old Patch (English cross). The confirmed bachelor, considers himself a dog more than a bunny, affectionate old man in my life!

Then we have the young ladies!
Six months old, Netherland dwarf - Saffron and Luna

They are booked in for their spays tomorrow and I don’t fancy trying to catch them from their hutch/run at 7 o clock tomorrow morning (it was bad enough trying to get them to go back into their hutch from their run and then getting them into the carrier this evening), so theyve come in tonight ready for tomorrow. They’ll then stay in for a while post surgery so I can look after them.
I am rather anxious about it.

I am considering trying but it’s unlikely he will accept them, he hasn’t accepted anyone before now sadly.

Aww bless him. Does he interact with them through bars/make an effort to? Or is he quite solo. I know male rabbits can be a different kettle of fish to compared to guinea pigs. Good luck with the bonding/the spay! Xx

Ahhh such beauties!
Wishing them (and you!)all the best with the spaying tomorrow.

 

[Lavinia]

What lovely rabbits. I have 2 pairs and a recently bereved buck, Snowflake who will be getting doe at the end of the month.

He is back and white and very gentle. Moondust and Loganberry live indoors (same room as the guinea pigs) then Frosty and Daisy live in a shed/run.

No, he isn’t interested in them in the slightest. The girls like to watch him and go to the bars and try to get his attention but he couldn’t care less.

Hope all goes well tomorrow and the girls recover quickly

 

[Piggies&buns]

Just taken the girls to the vet for their spays. Now for that awful wait.

 

[Siikibam]

Waiting is tough. Hugs to you

 

[Claire W]

Waiting is the worst. Hugs x

[Bradshaw Piggies]

Wow! Beautiful! Nice to meet you Patch, Saffron and Luna
Thinking of you all today. Hope all goes well x

 

[Piggies&buns]

Thanks everybody. I'm to call the vet at 3pm for an update so until then I'm keeping myself busy homeschooling children, life admin and cleaning the house!

Thinking of you and the girls today and hoping it all goes well.
If it's any consolation I have had 6 female rabbits spayed over the years and they all recovered fine.

Thank you.

I've had three spayed previously as well, all of them were also fine. I keep reminding myself of that! I completely trust my vet and I know they are in very good hands! They just seen so teeny tiny, doesn't help of course that they are dwarf rabbits so they are smaller than the English and English crosses which I've always had! I last had Netherlands 30 years ago!
