Oh my, that is just awful. It’s an absolute worst nightmare and so sorry you have to go through it. It sounds like she is just finding a reason to be in conflict, or just got one thing stuck in her head like you said and got too paranoid to handle it correctly/ logically. And dealing with someone with mental illness is frustrating since you can’t use normal reasoning.

I’m glad you found them a temporary foster, even though it’s far from ideal. If I was in the area I’d definitely help out. I’m so glad you have a date to get out, and get them back in the not-too far future!

That is a wonderful rabbit network to have, in this very stressful and totally unfair situation.

It sounds like the buns will be fine, and it’s great that you don’t have to worry about getting them out if things get even worse.

That is a funny coincidence!

I’m very far in Cincinnati, unfortunately. Poor Cooper and Bonnie..I know what you mean about how they get used to the space they have. Try to keep reminding yourself it’s very temporary and you’ll make it up to them!

Aww no! Sorry to hear that, what a horrible situation to be put in!

It seems very  unfair about your landlord. That sort of thing is not often heard of in the UK if you go through a letting agency here the tenants is much more favoured and the landlord can actually get in a lot of trouble if they breach the clause of ‘You must leave your tenants to quite enjoyment of the property’ which is written into all tenancy contracts here, even if there is some minor cosmetic damage it still applies. So it is quite distressing to hear you’ve had to deal with that!

On the bright side what a lovely house rabbit culture there is in your area! Very lucky to have places that can take them in for you and keep them indoors safe and warm for you 😊 that’s one thing we definitely don’t have in the UK unfortunately.

Congrats on getting a house! It’s not too long now, the month will fly by and your will have a lovely new home for you and all your floofs with you. It will be hard with missing them but it will fly by! 😊 xx

I would also assume someone wouldn’t literally use a clause like that for no good reason. If I end up renting again (which now I’m thinking never..) this is good information. I would have thought a landlord can’t legally do what she is doing.

It does just suck and is not fair. I don’t know all the paranoid disorders but almost sounds schizophrenic.

Ahhhhh….. sounds AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!! My advice: just repeat this inside your head over and over: What don’t kill you makes you stronger, I can survive a few more weeks. I honestly don’t think I could deal with that, but I’m sure you’re stronger than me!

Yes, it’s only temporary! I know it seems like a long time, but things will be OK. And I’m sure Cooper will get over it… although I know it’s hard when they are accustomed to certain things and then that has to change suddenly.

Ugh, that sounds awful!! I am so sorry, sucky landlords well suck. I am glad it sounds like you are soon going to have your own place and all be re-united. Hope that happens soon.

I also thought anything that was against rental laws was automatically invalid even if you do sign the lease, but there is so much that is by area so that makes it a mess.

So sorry for your troubles.

About 7 years ago, we had to immediately move due to Mom, then Stepdad dying without wills.  We were supposed to be able to live there as long as we wanted.

Well, of course his felon children had the legal rights to everything.  He didn’t even like his daughter, called me his true daughter.

Anyhow, had to get out quick, so with a lot of critters, no where to go.

Ended up in a motor home parked at our friends and critters scattered everywhere, only two dogs with us.

All worked out, but that was a LONG four months.

The best part of it, a complete stranger agreed to watch my Aussie, Sara, no charge, and was close enough to visit often.  I now have a new friend.

Give your crew extra kissess when you next see them.

Glad to hear they are doing well.

Stressful doesn’t begin to describe it.  Many break downs thinking I was going to have to give critters up!

Hey, maybe we should start a data base of members that would be able to help in similar situations?  Location and what critters we could care for??

Glad to hear the buns are doing good in the temporary placements! It’s also great Cooper and Bonnie stopped bickering.

Hope you and your buns are hanging in there @DanaNM!

So happy, a month is doable! I bet you miss them all so!

That is a great news DanaNM!! I did not realize you are going through this 🙁 , still you are helping other people.

Hoping your bunnies gotta see their mom soon 🙂

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I can imagine how stressful it must be for you, not just for the rabbits but to not feel safe in your own home is a terrible feeling.

At least you have not long to go and you have a way out 🙂 I am so done with renting and want nothing more than to purchase a home so that we can have whatever pets we want without trouble, but we just haven’t been able to get ahead with a decent deposit. Especially in the current housing market.

Holy Moly, what a horrible situation! I’m so happy to hear that you were able to buy a house and get out of that hellhole. It’s beyond cruel to tell people to get rid of their pets. I guess that it’s counting down the weeks now, but it sounds so stressful. I’m hoping that 2022 will be a much better year for you and yours!

Just weeks now, Dana 😀 So happy for you!

Aww look at those cuties! I think I’d like to have a Californian at some point.. Seems like all is going well with the temporary foster. I get being paranoid, and that was BJs partner?  I think BJ will be OK while there though… Not much longer now!

Sorry that you had to go through a loss on a holiday. That would be especially hard.

I am so sorry you are going through this! I too have an insane landlord (not literally) but luckily she was terrible at writing a lease and court sided with me and now she is not allowed near my house for any reason without a 30 day notice or me personally asking her in writing to come here.

I can’t wait until you get your babies back!

They look adorable! They must be so well-cared for, those people really are amazing! It’s wonderful having such a group around ^_^

It’s logical to get such a feeling, our brains like to see the world in patterns. Our fears too, especially when something very bad happened, and you fear for someone that you hold dear.

Those are the primal instincts that kept us alive in the times when we were not at the top of the food chain. Nowadays these instincts don’t have much to do, so they come out as terrible anxiety.

That feeling also came over me. When Owen went for his neuter the only thing I could think of was “I’ve just killed him…”. The nasty surprise with the vet dabbling in shady therapies, the memories of bringing Breintje to the vet for the last time… I couldn’t eat anything until he was home safely again.

As a counter to those awful thoughts: every life is so different that the chances of him passing away exactly like her are very very slim.

I’ve seen a few threads here where a Californian was being bonded and I think they all had easy times, so makes me think the gentle temperament is typical for them, awwww. I think Ruby has Florida white in her too. That is interesting and too cute about the color changes, I had no idea!

Girls can be hard in general, so don’t feel too bad. Bun Jovi and Myra look so cute together! Hopefully they just think they are on a little vacation. 😉

Wow, what a nightmare scenario!  I’m sorry you and the buns are going through this.  I’m also going to go and hug my landlady, who in addition to being an animal lover, loves my rabbits and even offered to pet sit if I ever have to leave for any reason.

Congrats on your upcoming home, and the kids are going to have so much fun exploring their new domain!

YAY!!!  Free all teh Bunnehs!!!!

Congrats on your furever home!

Where’s Bonnie? Is she hiding?

Awww how lovely! Home at last! 😀

Congrats on your new home and having your kids home!!

They have such a beautiful space now! Congratulations on having the family together again at last! ^_^

I’ll leave you to your busy schedule of catching up with all the cuddles 😉

Absolutely wonderful news, and congrats on your new home 🙂

I’m glad everything is better now, your bunnies are so lucky to have you! Sorry, I’m late to this.

I’m sorry, I’ve been following this thread but haven’t replied. THE WITTLE SMOOSHIES ARE HOME! ;3 ♡

Argghh! I was going to ask where Bonnie was, but people beat me to it.

Congrats Dana!

Have been waiting for that happy update! So grateful you have them back home and no more landlord to deal with. 🎉

Congratulations on the new home, Dana 😊

ps. Also grateful for HRN. I’m happy to hear they are still active organisation. Their website was one I frequented a lot years ago. The bonding guide is a favourite and the one I used way back when introduced Jersey and Rumball xx

I am so happy you have your buns home!!  I wish I would have been on here back when you started having issues – I live in NH so I am not a terrible distance from Mass.  Oh well – all things worked out well!
