        Well.. through the horrid rain I drove for her.

        I was contacted by a breeder whom knew I had been looking for a solid black holland lop bunny. (this was before I ended up with Ollie, my broken black and white mni-lop.) I had given up on a solid black holland lop and had been considering fostering until I found a good partner for my Ollie.

        So like I said she contacted me and wanted to know if I was interested in adopting a really beautiful girl. She is a bit bleached looking with browns from being kept an outdoor rabbit. So this is her story.

        She was originally sold by the breeder as a pet. At a show she found her up for auction and checked her pedigree to find out that she was in fact the same rabbit she sold as a pet months earlier. This girl was underweight and her fur was discolored from the sun. She is 13 months old. The breeder bought her back for a dollar! She has been working on fattening her back up.

        Unfortunately, she hasn’t been socialized as it seems. She will let me hold her without getting freaked out. But she is a bit boney. Her fur is molting and she will need to be spayed. But she is here now. It is the perfect ending for her. I am very happy. In our long long car ride home I decided to name her Lila. She is a pretty girl. I will post pics soon.

        I am just glad I got her and she wasn’t snatched up for breeding purposes.  You will know why I say that when you see the pics. She is quite perfect.

            congrats! that’s awesome that you’re able to save her. be very careful with the two of them. even betw/ cages it’s possible for a girl to get pregnant.

              Actually, I have a smaller cage on top of the NIC Ollie is in. She is very skiddish so I am letting her get oriented to her new home for a few days. She knows there is “something” beneath her. Eventually I will put them side by side. I want her to bond with me and then him. I am afraid she will bond with him and still be afraid of humans.  I forgot I have the picture this lady emailed me. I will take more of my own. But this is her anyway!

                she is such a cutie. she does look more brown. you say that’s from the sun? and then that fur will shed out and be replaced…

                  Yes that is from the sun and she is molting right now. Truthfully, I find her so irresistable that it wouldn’t matter either way.

                            I know what you mean with that!  When I got Tucker it was like learning how to parent all over again.   I was scared everytime she did something different and I was so overprotective!   I’ve eased up a bit now that I’ve gotten to know her better   Drue I’m kind of the same way but he’s bigger and more easy going so I’m not AS bad…plus I have the experience of Tucker, but still…it’s kind of like going from one human child to two..it’s a whole new world!
