I can only apologise for being so distant and difficult to contact over the last few weeks/months.
Life hasn't been good to us this year.
Hubby was diagnosed with bladder cancer 7 years ago...it's now decided to rear its ugly head again, but more aggressive this time 😞
I've been trying to get my head around everything, dealing with day to day things 😪
Feeling thankful that I have my bunnies, dogs and cats to look after, otherwise I think I'd lose the plot.
I am still here and I'm still bonding and boarding xx

Sign Age UK's petition. Cutting the Winter Fuel Payment this winter, with virtually no notice and no compensatory measures to protect poor and vulnerable pensioners, is the wrong policy decision.

The last couple of days have been very hot here.

Thankfully the area where my own lovely lot live and where my boarding enclosures are is in complete shade.

I've been checking on my boarding/bonding bunnies and my gang every 30 minutes to make sure all is okay and no one is over heating.

Thankfully it's been much cooler today!

The only bunny that has enjoyed the sun is my Jack...he's perfectly happy to lay in the full sun, stretched out, sunbathing!!

I moved him into the shade on Monday and gave him a damp towel to sit on/next to...he was most annoyed that I'd disturbed him and promptly bit me to show his displeasure and then moved back to his sunny spot!

It's been far too long since I last posted on here!

It's been a very busy Summer and I've spent the last four weeks repairing and repainting my boarding enclosures and my own bunnies enclosures.

My lovely lot all continue to be happy and healthy ❤️
I now have four pairs, so eight in total ❤️

As much as I'd love to bond them all together as one big group, it just wouldn't work, and I wouldn't want to put any of them at risk by trying when I know they can't cope with being in a group...that would be very selfish on my part.

Some bunnies are just made to be bonded as pair and will become very dominant and aggressive if they're put into a group for bonding.

If you're adopting from a rescue then please follow their advice on whether they need a single partner or would benefit from being part of a group.

My heart has joined The Thousand for my friend stopped running today 💔

You were my soul mate Findlay, and I loved you so very much.

We didn't get to spend enough time with each other...I wanted to love you until you got old and tired of life 💔 I didn't want to say goodbye today.

It was the kindest thing I could do for you.
You were in so much pain and hid so well, as bunnies do.

Today you stopped eating and stopped enjoying life. You've fought for so long and at times I thought we'd cracked it!

It was time to say goodbye the moment I realised you'd lost your love of life. You wanted to sit quietly in the corner, alone and in pain 💔

Please know that you were loved and cherished and I'll miss you every day.

Goodnight my Prince, please wait for me over the Rainbow Bridge 😪

Sadly I lost my Lilah last week 💔

Heartbroken doesn't even touch how I'm feeling right now.

She was a total trooper and carried on fighting to live and enjoy life until she couldn't fight anymore.

She gave up fighting the day after my birthday.
God bless her ❤️ 💔

This year has been so very hard for me.

I've had to say goodbye to all of my original bunnies that I loved so much and that gave me the strength and passion to do what I do now.

They kept me sane throughout 'lockdown' and always gave me a safe space to run to.

Please, don't get me wrong. I still totally adore the bunnies I have with me now...they all have a special place in my heart ❤️

It's just very hard to say goodbye to the ones that made me who I am ###

Sleep tight, beautiful boy and know that you were loved.

You always were a scatty cat and spent hours on end, when you were younger, going in and out the house through a different window every time.

I'll never forget the day you decided to jump through the window at the top of the stairs...all we heard was the almighty crash as you landed on the porch roof and shattered it!

You disappeared for hours because you must have given yourself such a fright!
But eventually you came home, remarkably uninjured ❤️ and looking a little sheepish 😆

You were always so loving and I miss you sleeping on my pillow or snuggled next to me 💔
You were here with us for 16 years, years that went far too quickly 💔

You left your paw prints on my heart and a hole in my soul 💔

Hazel with Findlay, Buddy and Maple ❤️

Now I'm just left with Jason as a single rabbit.
I've bonded him into a group of 4, where everything went well for 12 months.

Jason then started to 'bully' Derrick and gave him some very nasty bites.
Once I was 100% sure it was Jason, I removed him from the group.

I've since tried to bond him with Hazel and then with a bonded pair.

Each and every time Jason is fine for a week or so and then starts to attack and inflict some very nasty bites.

He seems to hate other rabbits and won't interact with them...he also won't interact with humans...he hates me touching him or being anywhere near him 💔

I've thought about rehoming him, but in all honesty I don't think I could do that to him.

He's very complex and would be very misunderstood by most.

I successfully bonded Hazel with Finlay, Maple and Buddy 😊
Hazel is now finally back where she belongs ...
in the summer house with a large run attached, where she spent so many happy years with her sister and Derrick ❤️
It was so very hard for me to lose Derrick, but then to lose Fiver only days later and to see Hazel suffer from losing her closest friends was even more devastating 💔
It's taken a massive weight off my mind and heart to see her happy and settled x

30/07/2023

Sadly the bond between Hazel and Jason didn't work out and I had to separate them.

Jason started to inflict bites on Hazel, much the same as he did with Derrick.

I honestly thought Jason sensed a weakness in Derrick and that was why he started biting him, but he's done the same with Hazel, only much worse.

She's been living inside with us for the last month.

Jason gave her a very nasty bite on her back, it didn't need vet treatment but I've kept her inside as I was so worried about fly strike!

She's fully healed now and she's struggling on her own after losing Derrick and her sister.

It breaks my heart to see her so sad and needy.
Losing Derrick broke my heart, but as humans we understand loss...

I can cope with my grief but I can't cope with seeing her so lost and sad 💔

Tonight, when I should be be concentrating on bonding other people's bunnies, I'm bonding mine.

I just want Hazel to be happy and feel safe again...she had so much love from Derrick and her sister and to lose all that and be alone is too much to bear ###

We're all camping out tonight in the front room bonding 5 single bunnies into a group x

That one amazing moment when everything starts to fall into place ❤ Makes everything worthwhile ❤

Bonding bunnies Specks and Cookie. Specks is a very beautiful but very sassy lady that knows what she wants. She was particularly difficult to bond. She was pretty aggressive to begin with as she wanted to make it known from the start SHE was the boss! I started bonding them on Wednesday and they're now in a large indoor cage without any problems. You wouldn't know looking at them now what a difficult bond it was.
