Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I’ve been stalking the site for a month now.
Got my first buns on Feb 3rd. They are pet shop buns and we were told the age was 6-7 weeks for both. It was love at first sight for my partner and I. She immediately picked up a tiny, half the size of the others, Netherland dwarf(Peanut) and I instantly attached to a beautiful “Lionhead.”(Butters) I say it that way because I don’t believe she is a true Lionhead.
The gentleman that helped us at the pet store was not as knowledgeable as we had originally thought him to be. In a month we have learned so much about our furbabies that we are now the “go to” people with our friends.
In a short month, these two have grown into quite the personalities. Peanut is very hyper and wants to explore everything but is still very nervous of it all. Butters, on the other hand, is not afraid of anything. She will go any where, climb on anything, jump on and off the bed like it is nothing. Butters loves to be groomed and will sit for pets until your hand falls off and then she will happily groom you in return. Peanut will accept pets, on his time but do not expect any love it return. They are constant floppers, meaning if they aren’t doing the bunny 500 around the room, they are flopped over next to each other. As strange as it is Peanut loves to be picked up and held, he is the weirdest bunny I have ever seen. Butters will fight with us but once we have her against our chest she just sits and her teeth just go to purring. They have been litter box trained for about 2 weeks now. Peanut will occasionally potty outside of the box but it is only ever on our dog bed. We just recently switched them over to a water bowl and they much prefer that to their old bottle.
Goodness, I start talking about them and find it hard to stop. I am just so in love with my bunny babies.
Here they are: (hopefully)
