  I adopted a little black and white mini rex who needed a new home as his owner was moving out of the country. He is about a year old, neutered, and very perky. I am hoping he will be able to take the empty spot in my former quartet. It may take a while since Duffy, his name is, is nothing like Mops. He is a kind of anti-Mops. Also, my trio does not feel the way toward him as they felt toward Mops. But I like Mr Duffy and am working toward a new quartet with him.
  
  don’t be fooled, he is anything but shy

  yes, exactly. There were so many rabbits looking for new homes but when I found out about Duffy I thought he was a Lint-Neigey. I knew I couldn’t have a long-haired this time b/c it would just make me compare to Mops all the time… so I decided to go with a Lintneigey.

  Petzy,
  I can’t believe I missed this post! I went on early this morning and started reading your excellent, and illustrated, bonding thread, and had to search for what I missed. (the entrance of Duffy.)
  
  He looks lovely and I am glad for your sake that you got a 4th. I know you are much more comfortable with 4, despite the choreography involved in bonding them all. I will always love rexes, so when they get you down, just snuggle that lovely fur. He’s a lucky boy to have found you.
  
  (Though I’m reminded of those demos on TV that say something like: Bonding 4 Bunnies. Do Not Try This At Home.

  Yes, I love the quartets… enough so to go through a gruelling bonding again. It is really just a personal fancy that I have had since bonding my friend’s four. I do not recommend trying it unless you want to give up ALL your free time for bonding sessions. ~

  I will probably end up with 2 pairs at some point. I am going to try to bond Smudge with Monkey, and get a little boy to bond to Moose. He just does not like the girls. And Smudge licked Monkey’s nose once when I first introduced them. So it could work.
  
  …Of course, they could turn into a quartet, maybe, if we can convince Moose that girls aren’t that bad. At that point, I will have to drive to Alberta me thinks. hehe

  Monkey, well, you know.. I might have to end up stealing both Smudgie and Monkey from you.. and Moosie. He looks like a stuffed doll and he might be my snuggle partner
  
  Petzy, I agree that Duffy is a Lint/Neigey I can’t tell Lint or Duffy apart in some photos.. unless I look for the white. Duffy seems so sassy!

  This bonding is harder on me because I worry so much about one of them getting ill. I try not to use too much stress at all.

  I know… but I just do! I am keeping them mostly on hay and greens during the bonding so that they are basically munching all the time… only when they are munching I can be sure they are feeling well. I use the zupreem pellets now for the sessions as bonding treats… I cut out all sugary things like apple pieces, etc, and the gas-suspect veggies like broccoli because I wonder if bonding if hard on their GI as well?
  
  I just call him Duffkinz… McDuffkinz?

  keeping it in mind… If Neigey knew there was another place for Duffy to go, he’d turn up his nasty even more I bet. You know, it’s funny, after I adopted Duffy, I received another email (I do the emails for a rescue) about a stray mini rex who looked identical to Duffy!

  I can hardly wait to have a rex in my house again, everyone i meet i love. Even the skittish ones.
  Mind you… if that friend of mine goes to ‘get rid of’ those bunnies she has, I may just have a rex sooner then later :p
