Q8bunny, that’s the greatest CV the world is likely to ever hear of!
Real Name: Dianaimh
Age: 23
Location: Dublin (Moving to Belfast for college- Buns in tow!)
Years as a Bunny Slave: 1.
About my Bunnies: Sampras, as in Pete Sampras, the tennis player(a reference to a TV show) is a grey and white lion head cross, who has one grey ear and one white ear. He also has a blue eye, but due to them being red it’s hard to get a pic of! I got him after someone close passed away suddenly, and he really helped get me through an awful time.
He’s also permanently sniffley. If he was a human, he’d be the nerdy kid in school with a head brace and prescription shoes >.<
Then in April I brought home Yumi,as in Yumigami from the PlayStation game okami, my angorra x lionhead. She’s beautiful and knows it. She’s a mottled fawn colour, with dark points on her ears and nose ,and a white spot in the very centre of her nose, and white on her paws. I got her from a family who had bought a dog that kept trying to eat her. From what they told me, she was kept in her cage in the shed for four months, no excercise or cuddles.
Saw her Binky for the first time last week. (She wanted Sampras to play)
She’s super vocal, and very demanding of attention.
Other pets: Minnie, also known as Mouse is my black and white springer spaniel cross border collie dog. who remained tiny.
I’ve a bearded dragon called Puff.
2African pygmy hedgies -Cyndaquil + Ditto
A cat called smudge
And two hens and a rooster.

A Bit About Me: I did my undergrad in biological sciences, majoring in zoology, worked in a pathology lab for a year, and am now planning to do a master’s in bioinformatics. Which sounded good until it comes to finding someone willing to shelter me AND 2 bunnies!
Oh I also have a mild (but worrying) addiction to Cheetos. ^.^

[Q8bunny]

Did you say… zoology? Admit it. You’re Dr Doolittle, right? I can’t even tell you how lovely all your friends sound Lucky duck!

[Dface]

Haha honestly it feels a bit like it at times! At one stage we had thirty animals spanning something like 13 species, all of which miraculously showed up at home, in need of help.
I missed so much college trying to care for them all!

About my Bunnies: Chester is Lop with quasi-harlequin pattern. He is ridiculously cute and loves to cuddle and be petted. He does tricks on command if you have food to reqward him. I adopted him from someone that was leaving for University and couldn’t take him when he was about 1. He has free roam of the house and clearly thinks he owns it. He made my roommate fall head over heels with him, to the point where she kept telling people she was moving in with Chester, not with me  

My Bridge Bunnies: Bugsy. I had her when I was 14, and didn’t know anything about bunnies. 

Other Pets: None at the moment, but I’ve had fish and hammies in the past

A bit about me: I’m finishing my PhD in Biology the next couple of months. I’m studying pilot whales and their social lives. I also tend to work multiple parts times to make ends meet. I just finished working at our science centre in the beginning of the month – it’s closed now until they move to the new building. I love science and I want to spend the rest of my work life explaining how cool science is to others. I also read a lot, specially Sci-Fi and Fantasy, have a small podcast addiction and like to keep active by running, doing yoga or hiking/walking. I’m a proud geek and very introverted IRL

Plus I’m an artist, so there’s that too. My husband and I are both disabled, him due to a car accident and myself due to bipolar.

My husband and I’s future rabbit goals is to have two giant bunnies named Leonidas and Xerxes.

[LBJ10]

Hi BubblesJo!!! *waves*

Years as a Bunny Slave: 6

About my Bunnies: Leopold is a Holland lop. He’s broken black/white and deaf. Very outgoing, bossy, and a bit naughty. Mister Wooly (aka Sweaters McWoolington or, just, Wooly) is a Jersey wooly. He’s black otter and Vienna marked with blue eyes. Very sweet, timid, but can get feisty when it’s time for his meds. Both of my boys are 6 years old. They are bonded and the best of buddies.

My Bridge Bunnies: None

Other Pets: No other pets right now, but we have had a lot of pets over the years. My bridge dog, Cash, is among them. We also had a cat, chinchillas, a hedgehog, and various reptiles.

A bit about me: I worked at a nature center for several years before transitioning to my current job. I miss it terribly, but am thankful I was given to opportunity to be a part of that wonderful place (even if it was for a relatively short time). I just earned my Masters in natural resources. I have a Bachelors in biology and environmental studies. I work for the local government doing public education for environmental issues. It isn’t really where I saw myself working/doing, but it isn’t bad and it certainly has it’s challenges. I don’t have a ton of hobbies since I never really had time for much else. However, I do enjoy walking in nature and taking pictures. Native flowers and insects are always fun subjects. I collect turtles and rabbits and I love clothes with animal themes.

[Q8bunny]

Az: Your dream is AWEsome! Can I come along? I want to be a travel writer/photographer. ViennaBlue just hasn’t won the lottery yet.

[kirstyol]

Real name: Kirsty
Location: Scotland
Age 30
Years as a bunny slave: Most of my life really, save a few years in my mid 20’s

About my bunnies: We got Bramble when he was six weeks old and he is a total softie, loves people and always likes to know what is going on. Quite happy with only human interaction he was a lone bun for a little over a year until we had a change in circumstances and were not in as much during the day. I started looking for a spayed female but ended up seeing an ad for a neutered male, Ron, who just had such a sad story that I went and picked him up within a few hours barely running it past my partner. Ron wasn’t in a good state when we got him, but with love and care from us and his best friend Bramble, he is doing well. The boys bonded within a week! They adore each other completely, although Bramble does get a little upset if Ron is getting lots of pets and he is getting none!

A bit about me: I just graduated from my bachelors degree in nursing last year and now work in medical receiving which keeps me very busy. I also play the bagpipes when time allows. I used to do a lot of freelance writing too but gave it up when I started nursing, I do still maintain my blog but not as often as I should. I am currently considering doing a masters degree or perhaps just a post-graduate certificate to start with because in a few years I would like to be an advanced nurse practitioner.

Years as bunny slave: around 2

About my bunny: I adopted Reese from a pet store (I would normally save a bunny whose owners don’t want them anymore), because it was a little tiny bunny with a leg that it didn’t use (she ended up using it again). She was in a 2 foot by 1 foot cage with 2 huge Californian bunnies who were obviously not very nice to the little netherland dwarf. They guarded the water and food bowl. I didn’t think twice about getting her. The pet store lady said she was a boy, so until we got her spayed, we thought she was a boy! We didn’t change her name when we found out she was a girl.

Bridge bunnies: Truffles Twitchy 

Other animals: Buttercup (Aunt’s rabbit), Sweetie (cat), Rye (Cat), RIP Whiskers (Rye’s sister)

[Theodorusrex]

What a fab idea

Real name: Lisa
Age: 24
Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Years as a bunny slave: not even one yet, we’ve had Theo around 8months
Other pets: Shetland pony although he lives far away now at my granny’s farm as we don’t have room for him in our semi ? (funny enough)
About me: I’m a pharmacist who packed it all in to go back to uni and start my PhD in pharmacy. It’s research led and I love it. I just got married 2 months ago. I love reading, exploring (heavily involved in scouting), travelling and photography among other things ?
About my rabbit: Theodore who usually gets Theo or Theodorusrex(lol) is just over a year old and the vet told us he’s a Holland lop although I realise now as we’re in the UK this should be called a minilop. He’s cheeky, playful and so lovable and affectionate. He loves my dad so much, it’s so cute. He’s a house rabbit who is free roam when we’re in and has an x pen attached to a hutch when we’re out. We’ve had some tummy troubles with him lately which we’re still trying to figure out but other than that he is a happy and healthy little bun ?

EDIT: I couldn’t add a picture last night as I was on my phone rather than my laptop – so here you go. Cute pic of Theo begging for more head rubs

And one of me and my little prince for good measure: 

[Q8bunny]

You forgot to mention stinkin’ adorable.

[Theodorusrex]

Q8: not sure if you’re referring to Theo but gonna assume you are and say thank you! He is pretty darn cute

[Q8bunny]

Yep. Theo.

[LittlePuffyTail]

Thanks for sharing everyone! So many interesting and unique people. Awesome how the love of bunnies unites us all.

[Sr. Melangell]

Hi LPT, I have a question for you, I see you have a horse, do you have to feed him lots of hay like a rabbit? If he doesn’t eat hay can he become ill like a rabbit?

[LittlePuffyTail]

Yes, Charlie’s Angel. Horse are extremely similar to rabbits. They are grazers and need food always going in and out. They need lots of fiber too. And yes, like stasis in rabbits, a condition called colic is the #1 killer of horses.

I absolutely love camping and dream of touring Australia in a 4WD, never having to go back to work, just pitching a tent and enjoying the open, quiet country. That’s the life for me.

Az – I advise it wholeheartedly !!  Just Do It ! Take the buns with you !

I did Sydney to Coral Bay (via Tazzie of course!), over 9 months driving and camping with my best mate, and it wasn’t a 4WD (A Ford Falcon, what else?!) but I would do it again in the blink of an eye. Just speeeeectacular!

Q8 – I haven’t yet won (and I didn’t win) the lottery, but you don’t need to…  it’s called a shoestring budget  

Please don’t wait for me to win and base your future on poop counting!… even I know it probably will never happen

No no, there are quite a few of us teenage “seniors” here… 

[jerseygirl]

haha, teenage seniors! You are describing me !

[LBJ10]

I don’t feel like I’m a teenager really. More like stuck in my 20s mindset.

[Vienna Blue in France]

Yeahbut yeahbut yeahbut LBJ, you don’t count – you’re not over 40… yet.

I’m a teenage senior – I worry about me sometimes and wonder if ‘d be surprised with a 60 yr old acting like I do sometimes and if I should tone down my childhood and become a respectable adult before I get to 60 (not running up stairs, not flying kites on beaches, not down on all fours with furry babies)… and then I think again and…. I just don’t care

[Q8bunny]

Well, I for one am a 38-year old who has no idea what 38 should feel like

Real Name: Alisa

Age: 35

Location: California

Years as a bunny slave: Coming up on 2 years

About my bunnies: 

Thor (2 years, 9mths) AKA Sir Crankypants, General Zod.  Thor appears to be a black satin lop cross, has “charging bull” ears, and is as affectionate as they come for a “touch me not or I shall die” bunny.  Loves *the mere sound of* food, lounging in his enclosure, and being groomed by his subordinates (me included). Fostered on a whim, adopted for life.  

Crysta (1 year, 4mths) AKA Twista-Boo for her binkies, Princess Leia.  Crysta is my chocolate and white Lionhead baby gurl, named after the main character of the 90’s feature animation, Ferngully (with Robin Williams, Tim Curry & Samantha Mathis).  Crysta is a shy, headstrong bunny who specialisies in demolition. Fun fact: Crysta was featured in a photo shoot with some NBA players for a local shelter promo.  As a bunny mum, I am very proud, hahah.

My Bridge Bunnies: Smokey (had him as a kid), but he escaped, so I assume he has gone the way of the Gnu.

Other Pets: My two chihuahua’s, Lil Bear (7) and Lovely (6).  

A bit about me: Growing up, we had all a lot of pets – guinea pigs, birds, dogs, fish, mice & rabbits (we hit serious double digits when I last counted).  I was born in the U.S. to parents of Anglo-Indian (British & Indian/ East Indian) descent, and was raised in Australia.  At the ripe ol’ age of 29, I left Australia to marry a [born-and-bred] Yank of Scandinavian, Mexican and Spanish descent, and we currently reside in the U.S. If you’re confused, that is a normal reaction to my story   I love sci-fi, post-apocalyptic & fantasy movies.  I was raised in a musical family and have been singing since the age of 4.  I am a Whovian and #10 is my doctor, though #4 was my first.

Love4Bunny, 10th Doctor all the way

[Vienna Blue in France]

Have you heard David Tennant in ‘real’ life – with his Scottish accent… soooo different from Doctor ‘English’… LOL

[Love4Bunny]

@Vienna – no, not that big. It’s VERY big, hahah. David Tennant does a great English accent, and I love his Scottish accent. Some people are just so gifted!

@BubblesJo – YES!! I was so bummed when he left. I’m not a big fan of Billie Piper, but I loved the onscreen chemistry between Rose & #10. I got to see “The Day of The Doctor” in the cinema with a whole theatre full of Whovians. It was awesome because everyone got the subtle references.

[BubblesJo]

Oh, I have to go hear that! Can’t be more shocking than hearing Hugh Laurie after seeing him in House :X

Rose + 10th Doctor was amazing. Such good chemistry! I really liked him with Donna too, they were ridiculous together. Oh, that’s awesome! I was still playing catch up at the point. I can’t believe that the new season is only in 2017. Might have to look into the older seasons this year, it’s too long without the Doctor

[Odette]

I love David Tennant. His accent makes me swoon.

[Love4Bunny]

BubblesJo. I always remember Hugh Laurie as the dog-napping villain from 101 Dalmations with Glenn Close. Oh my gosh, Donna is hilarious. She’s on Season 8? Or 7 of The Office (U.S.). Imo, she was the best stand-in for Steve Carrell, because she had that obnoxious, politically incorrect thing down pat. So good! Hubby and I went back to watching Doc #4 last year, and we enjoyed it. Of course, we love old school sci-fi like Planet of The Apes and The Time Machine. Apparently Steven Spielberg loves Doctor Who, so we’re in great company.

Odette, I think you are not alone there. I reckon he brought a whole new generation of *female* fans to D.W., haha.

Right then, I’ll give this a go….

Real Name: Jeff also known as; Daddy, That guy that fills the food bowl, and Oh crap it’s him….Former sailor with the US Navy, USS Forrestal, CV-59.  Also a former soldier, US Army reserves, Military Police Investigator.  Former LEO, K9.  Disabled in 2005, now a stay at home father.  Hobbyist Knifemaker and Bowyer.  Writer and comic book artist (Joe Kubert school of Cartoon and Graphic Art)

Age:54

Divorced (not by choice), and raising my 11 year old daughter.  Trying to make a go of my knife shop and small farm.

Lives in Davenport Florida (Not by choice) and would rather live somewhere with all four seasons instead of 2.

Years as a bunny slave: About 2 weeks, unless you count the year and 3/4 Clover has been in love with me.  Yes, she decided I was HER person the day my ex wife brought her home.  Overall lover of animals.

House Bunneh; Clover, a 1.75 year old American Chinchilla, who was a breeder and show bunny, but was always destined to be a house bun.  The first time I’d even met Clover, she climbed out of her cage and draped herself over my shoulders, and declared that I was hers.  It took time for me to get settled enough to bring her home.  Within 3 days of moving in, she was a free range bunny, and that 3rd night jumped into the bed with me.  If she’s not sitting next to me, she’s either sleeping in the bed or laying on my toes.  She gets along great with all the animals.

Other pets: Willow, the curmugeonly 11 year old Shih Tzu, who was actually my wife’s, and who, after she divorced me, decided she was my dog instead of hers (Awkward!)  Queen of the house, no matter WHAT Clover thinks.

Pyewacket, the black kitty, 10 months old.

Sebala (Or Dot, as we call her), 4 months old kitty

Rusty, my daughters 3 year old Bearded Dragon aka The Kaiju, Beardedzilla, and Death to Bugs…..

and Last but not Least, my rescue Quaker Parrot Jarvis.  He’s 5.  Jarvis had a rough early 5 years before he came to me.  First, his Parronts named him “A.J.”, a name devoid of character and color for such a wonderful bird, we immediately renamed him “Jarvis” which he was answering to within 72 hours, so he hated the name as well.  He’d been locked in his cage for over 2 years, receiving food and water, but no interaction, because his owners had a small child and were afraid of what he might do.  So instead of working with him,  warehoused him.  He never left his cage.  As a result, he plucked.  And plucked.  And plucked himself so badly he ripped out the skin and muscles under his wing pits.  All that’s left is scar tissue, he’ll never fly again.  But he doesn’t have to, because I spoil him shamelessly.

[Q8bunny]

Wow! You’re obviously an animal magnet.
Your critters are adorable, one and all.

[Reesebun]

aww man I was not on when we were talking about doctor who! I think the 10th doctor is the best too.

[Reesebun]

oh my goodness! The kittens are so adorable! Nice underpants in the last pic bladesmith! lol

[Bladesmith]

Yeah, my daughter clearly doesn’t understand when Daddy says, “I just got up and haven’t had coffee yet” while still in my sleep shorts.  Luckily, I gave up shame for Lent.

[Love4Bunny]

@Reesbun- I just caught on to the fez and bowtie thing in your signature, if I am not mistaken…

@Bladesmith- “Oh crap, it’s him” – I picture a cheeky pair of cats getting into some trouble! For me, it is my buck, Thor.

[Vienna Blue in France]

Welcome oh bunnydad-man, one of very few amongst many (many) bunny mums !

I think Clover is well and truly bonded to her hooman ! Lucky her!

[Reesebun]

@love4bunny – Yep! and the 3-D glasses!

[BubblesJo]

@ Love4Bunny, that accent! *Swoon* I like it I can’t believe Donna makes an appearance in the Office! I’ve only seen 3 or 4 seasons yet.

@Reese, I never realized that about your signature! The fez and the glasses

@Bladesmith, so many pets! They’re so cute!

[Rachael-Ilse]

Real Name: Rachael

Age: 23

Location: England

Years as a Bunny Slave: Zero years, I’ve only had my bunny a month

About my bunnies: My rabbit is called Storm. She’s a cross of a Netherland dwarf and a Dutch and she is three years old. Storm is mostly black with one white foot and a single patch of white on her chest. I adopted her from a local cats and dogs home. She likes being the only rabbit in the house and can be a little moody sometimes but we are starting to bond well. I have her as a free range rabbit downstairs and she loves kale.

Other Pets: The only other pet I currently have is a 17 year old goldfish who has slowly turned silver due to her age.

A bit about me: I am at university studying for a masters in biology and I also volunteer at the rehoming centre that I adopted Storm from. I love animals and I am also a vegetarian. I enjoy doing yoga, Zumba and I also ride horses.

[kirstyol]

Rachael, I am so excited to hear about your goldfish! I have one who is at least 18 years old and no one believes me it is the same fish. Although I cannot remember exactly when I got the fish, I distinctly remember moving house with them when we moved in 1998 (we had two then).

[Vienna Blue in France]

Ooooo welcome Rachael – a friends daughter has just got her A level results and will be going to Warwick to study Biology !!! (Ooooh A levels – Gina !!!!!!!!)

And if you volunteer at cats&dogs home I can’t believe you’ve only just now come home with one single rabbit !!

[BubblesJo]

Welcome Rachael! Another biologist yay

[Bladesmith]

I find it odd that men wouldn’t love bunnies as much as women. Eh, their loss.   As I type, Clover is parked tight against my hip, and purring.  Odd sound from such a large animal. 

And given my luck with women (Married and divorced 3 times), I’m probably better off staying with animals.  (Ok THAT could be seriously misinterpreted…..) 

Only planned addition past this is chickens.

Thanks for the kind words, all.

[LBJ10]

My husband was the one who originally wanted a rabbit…..

[BrunosMama]

Same here. I wanted a guinea pig, but my husband wanted a bunny instead. So we got Bruno.

[jerseygirl]

@Bladesmith, I think many men do, they’re just less likely to talk about it.
Clover sounds great. How she first greeted you sounds awesome.

[Love4Bunny]

Or they are in denial, Jerseygirl
My husband wanted zero animals. We now have four ?.

Heh heh… If you get 6 more, he’ll get his zero !

[Love4Bunny]

Yes!! That’s the plan. He never said I couldn’t add another number to the zero. Good thinking, 99. 4 months ago, I almost got meself a piggie. But hubby hates to share our washing machine with the animals. He claims there is [miniscule amounts of] hair in the barrel. I’m like, Babe…. those are your hairs. That too, he’s also in denial. What does everyone else do with laundry? I’m interested now… please tell me I’m not the only one who married the Scrooge of the adoption kingdom?!

[jerseygirl]

Well, I have an old washing machine outside that I use for pet washing. And I often take it to the laundromat to use their big dryers as they come up great. There doesn’t seem to be fur left in the dryers either.

ETA: There is also those lint catcher balls you can put in washer and dryer.

[Rachael-Ilse]

@kirstyol Haha yea I have the same problem with my goldfish, no one initially believes me when I say how old she is. They all assume my mum replaced her when I was a child or something. I think I got mine from a fare-ground.

@ Vienna Blue in France Thanks and aw that’s awesome, I study at Bristol University . Yea I mostly work with the dogs and there have been many that I would have loved to bring home with me. I just hope they find a loving forever home.

[Q8bunny]

Chewie and I share a combo washer/dryer machine. First I use it, then I throw him in it.

[BrunosMama]

Lol @ Q8

At our old house, the cats would make beds in the dryer if we forgot to close the door.

I finally meet a woman who loves me without reservation and she’s a rabbit.  I’m good with that. 

[Love4Bunny]

Thanks for the input about the washing machine/ dryer, guys. Lintcatcher balls are a good idea, Jerseygirl. I will try those since we don’t have a laundromat down the road, and since I don’t do a ton of washing for my dog blankets (I use terry towels squares and wash a bunch at the end). I do run the washing machine on a second cycle, as per hubs request, and I disinfect the barrel.

[Love4Bunny]

Ah… that’s how you use those things. You know, they never include that in the manual. What a timesaver, Q8

[Vienna Blue in France]

Now now children – we all know to add a disclaimer after such jesting – there are 2-legged donkeys out there who think this could be for real….. (even 4-legged donkeys are clevererere than that!!)

So :

** DO NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE PUT YOUR BUNNY OR ANY OTHER ANIMAL IN A WASHING MACHINE, DRYER OR MICROWAVE ** !! (Silly people)

( Kids and annoying partners are allowed )

[Love4Bunny]

Yes, good call Vienna.

Lol, two-legged donkeys.

[jerseygirl]

I got cast to play a donkey twice when I was a kid. I think that tells you a lot about my acting skills.

[Vienna Blue in France]

Which end ?

[jerseygirl]

[Q8bunny]

Vienna: Pfff… figures the appliance police would show up

[Love4Bunny]

Lol. Q8, I was going to suggest line drying, and handwash only, but I figured that might be too cheeky and a lil too literal for some!

[Vienna Blue in France]

(Hmmm, their ears WOULD peg over nicely on a line….. D )

(JOKE, donkeys !)
