He was found at a construction sight with oil all over him & sore hocks. Most of the oil is off of him but some still remains, I was thinking about giving him a bath to try to get more off but I’m a bit nervous to bathe a bunny
So we’ll see lol. The rescue renamed him to Monty which fits him much better but I’m considering finding something else, I just can’t think of anything, I just know I want something different. He looks like he should have an O or M name though for sure ![]()
He’s pretty quiet & well behaved (knock on wood). & very curious about everything I’m doing. He’s starting to get excited when I come in the room, it’s so cute! He has tendencies that remind me of Mimzy & he’s so sweet which is why I feel like I’m in danger of a failed foster
Anyway, I’m so excited to at least have a bunny to care for again!
Awwww! Monty!
We all are rooting for failed foster
Thank you for taking him in.
Monty is precious! Thanks for fostering him. There are times when failure is good, and foster failure is one of those times. ![]()
I think Monty is a perfect name for that gentleman! And yes, this foster should fail, as it’s clear you adore him! Pretty clear he adores you too. Brava!
He’s adorable! Please become a foster failure!!
Lolol…. Let’s all hear it for the failed foster! I would be so bold as to say it’s a done deal! FAILED! Stamped all over it. It sounds like he has already adopted you so you might as well reciprocate. And truly, any bunny that lets you hold him with one arm, snuggles his snoot perfectly into your neck under your chin, and let’s you take a picture….well, that’s a keeper!
Nice to meet you most noble gentleman, Monty (for now).
We are SUCH enablers. (hee hee hee)
He’s beautiful! Yay for a failed foster ?
“Foster” ? Mwah mwah mwah hahaha….. rofl !!!!!
Yeah right, pull the other one !!!!!

(And he’s bigger than his first photo makes him look) :kissing: ![]()
He’s such a cutie! Let’s all hear it for Monty the failed foster! ![]()
Haha, y’all are terrible! Definitely some pretty big enablers here
Totally not helping haha! I originally would’ve wanted a different breed of rabbit, but he’s so cute & sweet, I can’t help but fall in love! We’ll see what happens
I’ll keep everyone posted
Oh goodness, what a sweetie! Im glad you’re getting some bunny-time again, Mimzy.
There is something about his fur that makes me think he’s a satin.
I’m wondering if he’s mixed with something else but I just read that the colored points on Californians is determined by temperature. I guess if they’re kept in cooler temperatures, their ears, nose, & feet are darker, but in warmer temperatures, they are lighter. I was thinking he’s mixed because his points aren’t that dark & he has almost no color to his feet, but if that’s really true, then I guess he could be full Californian
I’m reading that their fur is soft & silky, which he’s not as soft as others I’ve pet, however, it could just be because he needs to shed out what fur got messed up from the construction site.
Also, I been thinking about new names…I’ve so far come up with Otis or Olaf
I still may keep it as Monty but I’m kind of hoping I can come across something even better
Does he look like an Otis or Olaf? Or does Monty fit him better?
Opie! Actually…I kind of like Monty. When I hear of Monty I always think of the Count of Monte Cristo. Of course as kids we called it the Count of Monte Crisco. I don’t even know the story (how sad is that) but the Count of Monte Cristo always sounded cool.
So I go with the noble name of Monty. Also I read it is short for Montgomery or Montague. Very proper names. Anyway that’s my vote.
P.S. So have you started or signed the official adoption papers yet?!?
This Olaf would say that’s a great name for a bun.
He’s a himalayan bun. His human may know a think or 2 about the changing colours due to seasons. I think she said Olaf’s boots turn dark in winter.
Loving the name Montgomery!!
Joining the pro-foster fail parade.
Monty sounds fabulous – and his name sounds just right to me.
Lovable bunny in need: free (yay!)
Bunny supplies: who’s counting?
Earning a place in a bun’s heart: priceless

Funny you should mention Bunny supplies. Last month, I realized I’d spent more than $120 on raddit supplies ALONE. Food, litter and hay. That’s it.
I’m on a fixed income, and when I looked at that hit, I was aghast, and when I mentioned the cost to my very wise for her 12 years of age daughter, she said, “Yeah, but look at all the love and joy we get from having them around.”
And I can’t argue any of that. Cheap at twice the price. (Please, Universe, don’t interpret that as a request to raise prices)
Yes it has to be Monty or something else….
Olaf of BB already has a foreverchanging nose like that, i wouldnt be able to keep track of who was who….. ![]()
First, sorry so long getting to this thread.
Second, YOU ADOPT THAT BUNNY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! ![]()
I’m late in replying! But I never realized the 2 breeds were so alike! I never really looked up Himalayan rabbits before, Definitely think he’s more Californian though, he’s a bit on the larger side of rabbits xD Maybe pushing around 10lbs. My Obi was right at 10lbs if I remember correctly
As far as names, I’m definitely stuck on Odin or Otis now xD
Avengers?? haha
My vote goes to Odin.
Odin here.
Otis! He looks like an Otis to me. Has that dignified butler look. ![]()
Otis here.
How’s that for ambiguous. 2 for Odin and 2 for Otis.
Actually I still prefer Odin. I’m not as fortunate to have experience with butlers like “Master” Q. (Just ribbin’ Q8bunny in jest)
How about this? He can be Odin if you adopt him…..otherwise Otis………………there’s your dilemma!!!
Please pass the Grey Poupon, what what.
I’m for Otis. For goodness sakes, don’t name him Odin, bunnies have enough of a superiority complex as it is.
