My Rain passed a year ago, and one day I went out to the yard next to her grave/memorial area. There’s a little table we keep near it that’s covered in dust because nothings touched it in so long. That day I looked over and noticed rabbit pawprints in the dust, I knew they were a rabbit’s because of two small front ones and big long back ones, and…[Read more]

So sorry for your loss.  Beautiful bun.  Hugs to y’all.

Coming home one day I heard my first Pug, Ali, barking along with the other dogs as we approached the door.  She had been gone about a week.

I also felt my Kira press her back up against mine as I lay on my side in bed.  That was her place to sleep, us back to back.  She had also been gone about a week.

Hugs to you and your mom.

I lived in…[Read more]

Sounds like I good plan! I will add that pet stores don’t tend to know much about bonding (we have lots of members on here that were sold two babies of the same sex by pet stores and breeders and told that they would get along, only to have them start fighting viciously when they hit puberty 🙁 ) and of course pet stores are interested in selling…[Read more]

Thank you everyone.

Thank you both very much for such insightful replies! This has really helped me understand the process. I will wait until Lilly is spayed.

I only say that a baby would be best as I was advised this by the pet store. I tried to rescue a 6 year old rabbit, however, they did not allow my adoption application to go ahead as they wanted a more…[Read more]
