Hello everyone!!

I felt it only right that my first post be an introduction so here it is! I’ll quickly write a bit about myself and then I’ll get on to what I know you’re all really interested in… my bunnies!

So my name is Tasha, I live in the UK, I’m 18 and currently studying animal management at college with the dream to progress into Veterinary work (whether I become a Vet Nurse or a Vet Surgeon depends on how well I do!!)

I’m also an aspiring photographer. I say ‘aspiring’ as currently, although it is something I love and try to do often; I’m not that great at it yet!!

I recently started a blog where I write articles about proper rabbit care and other bunny stuff!

On to the buns…

Meet Little & Large!

Barney is the white bun. He’s a 9 month old, neutered, Dwarf hotot X mini rex. He might be small but his personality is BIG. He’s such a cheeky chappy. Always the first to greet you and nudge you until you give in and feed him a treat! He’s very vocal- most rabbits (that I know of) only use sounds to say when they’re angry/in pain etc. but Barney constantly talks away to you, little buzzing noises and teeth purring. He has been vet checked so no health worries! Just a happy chatty little man!

Hazel is the brown bunny. She’s a 6 month old, spayed, Continental giant. She has quite a sad story (but that’s for another time) and as a result when I got her she was extremely fearful of people. She’d try her best to hide away from anyone and if she couldn’t hide she would thump, growl and scratch to try and get away from you. 3 months on and she is now the sweetest little (haha!) thing you’ve ever met. She still hates being picked up but each rabbit is different and I’ve learnt to deal with it. She does however, LOVE to be hand fed and stroked on her head and huuuge ears!

I must also mention my little bridge bunny- Zoe the beautiful tri-colour dutch. She came to me at 6 weeks old from a Pet Shop where I scooped her up as I could see she wasn’t being properly looked after (in with much bigger bunnies, incorrect diet, dirty habitat). I took her home and nursed her for a further 10 weeks. I encountered so many problems with her from snuffles to GI stasis. She fought hard but at 16 weeks old she gave up the fight. The vet identified an abnormality in her gut where part of it hadn’t been developed. She was in extreme pain and I had already tried everything I could- surgery wasn’t an option as she was to fragile to go under anesthetic. I made the hard decision to put her to sleep. I miss the tiny little one, but I know she’s up in bunny heaven being the angel bunny she always was- even down here on earth.

Sorry for rambling on so much but I felt like I should do a proper and detailed introduction!

If you read this far- well done you haha!
