Hi everyone I haven't been able to post on here as I suddenly lost one of my beloved lovebirds he passed away very suddenly while in the care of my mother so I've been trying to grieve the loss while taking care of my two Rabbits Rein and Oatsy and finally managed to book Oatsy into the vets for his vaccinations and physical examination before his neuter for those who don't know I rescued Oatsy from a neglectful owner Oatsy was extremely underweight so much so that you could feel his entire skeleton when holding him poor little boy was just fluff skin and bones but now he's gained a lot of weight and hasnt stopped with the binkys and the flops lol hes also just learned how to play with his toys after watching rein play with hers which was very sweet to see Oatsy has made so much progress and I'm very proud of how far he's come in such a small amount of time he's had a sudden growth spurt which leaves me to believe he might be crossed with a Flemish giant 😅 oh well at least now he's getting lots of love 💕

The photos shown were taken before his growth spurt the little bugger won't keep still long enough to take a decent photo now xD

First post on here hope she meets the bunny toe standards

Took the bunnies outside to have some outside time while the weather is nice Rein did not approve of the damp ground and would not move from her spot Oatsy however wouldn't stand still to take more photos xD

Had to bring them out separately since Oatsy is not yet neutered (will be soon) while Rein is Spayed I don't want him constantly harassing the poor girl 😭💕

Meet my first Bunny Mini Blackbeauty she's the reason I fell inlove with rabbits I had her from when I was 8 years old and she passed away when I was 16 and she was almost 10 years old I miss her every single day and I always think about her she was my soul bun and always will be but thanks to her I have Rein and was able to rescue Oatsy hopefully I'll welcome some more bunny's into my life in the future with my partner who loves bunny's equally as much as I do Rest in peace Mini blackbeauty 🕊️ you were so much more then just a bunny you were my bestfriend 💕 the last slide was the last photo I took with her and the one before it was the first photo I got with her it's been 6 years since she passed away in my arms but I cherish every memory I have with her 🕊️💕

New favourite photo of this ball of fur xD she was very cozy today

Been about 2 weeks since Oatsy has become part of the family after being rescued from a neglectful owner and so far he's doing great! He's finally started putting on much needed weight and he's booked to get his vaccination and physical examination for his neuter at the vets he's a little playful boy who loves attention and loves following me around the house he's doing great :)

Reins been having a lot of outside time recently and she's been loving the fresh air :)

Life's been a bit too much right now and stressful so Rein and I went to the park for a bit so she could run around safe to say she wasn't a big fan didn't realise the ground was damp but she still got to enjoy some sunshine while the weather's nice Oatsy had to stay home since he's still a little boy but he's doing great and is starting to put on some much needed weight :D

Yeah Reins not happy about her new roommate but poor little oats was in worst condition then I thought he's extremely skinny and his nails were what you could only compare with Freddy Krueger luckily his teeth seem to be ok poor little guy just wants to be coddled and held :(

Oatsy porridge the bunny comes home tomorrow afternoon very excited to meet our new sudden unexpected new addition to the family here's some photos my partner has sent me if him before they come to drop him off tomorrow<3

So update on Rein first she's fully recovered from her surgery I think I've mentioned in previous posts but even better SHES FINALLY ✨ LITTER TRAINED ✨ it took her a while but now she's finally understood the litter isn't where she sleeps thank you everyone who gave me feedback on how to get her potty trained it really helped since she's been spayed her behaviour has improved she's not as destructive as she once was and is alot nicer now she's still her just not hormonal her anymore which I'm so glad about.

I've been thinking about getting Rein a companion for a little while now but decided against it until her behaviour improved and if the right bunny came along well seems the universe has decided for me my partner messaged me today and asked if I was still interested in getting Rein a friend I asked them why and they told me their brother has a 7 month old bunny that's been neglected and needs a new home otherwise he'll most likely be dumped or neglected more so now my partners coming around on Sunday to drop off Reins new little brother luckily I have a temporary set up ready to go encase of emergencies like this Reins been around rabbits all her life so I'm hoping their introduction will go smoothly reins a pretty nice rabbit overall but of course I'll take the proper precautions and ensure no bunny is harmed when introducing them my partner has informed me the 7 month old bunny is a little Mini lop boy who's super friendly and sweet I'm not 100% sure if he truly is a mini lop judging by the photos they sent me but Rein and I can't wait to meet him on Sunday regardless :) and my partner says his Name is Oats I'm not a big fan of the name but they like it so I guess I'll call him Oatsy 💕

My bunny has decided in the middle of winter is the perfect time to start shedding for her summer coat and this is how I'm reminded I'm allergic to rabbit to fur ;-;

Hi everyone so first update Rein is all healed up from her surgery and her fur is starting to grow back we've even started doing some training which she has picked up on quickly but since her spay she's started chewing on everything she can get her teeth in especially cords I give her plenty of natural stuff to chew on and I even give her boxes as well for her to chew on and she does but I can't seem to break her out of the habit of chewing on my cords, is there a way I can discourage this behaviour it's only recently she's developed this behaviour and I'm worried she's going to get herself electrocuted I had my two lovebirds chewing on my LEDs so I put plastic over the cords to stop them and it worked for them but it doesn't work with rein she just finds a way to remove the plastic to chew on the cord itself my sister tells me to give her a smack like a dog and I told her that would be like smacking my child and it's proven that it doesn't work just builds mistrust I know positive reinforcement is the only way to get through to a bunny but I don't know what else to try so far my methods haven't worked she's a very clever little girl and finds ways to get into places even when I block off where she's not allowed to go she finds a way around it I swear she was a cat in her past life any advice would be much appreciated I feel like I've tried everything but nothing seems to work so far :(

So she's back to her usual self found a way back into my bed when she was suppose to be in her tent while she's healing but has found a way onto my bed sometimes she is to clever for her own good luckily her stitches are healing nicely she just wanted her spot on the bed back also excuse the state of my bed I haven't had much time to tidy up while she's been sick and I'm on egg watch we have some baby birds hatching in our incubator soon :3

Sorry I didn't update yesterday but truth be told there wasn't much to give y'all an update with ^^" but today miss Rein has been doing Zoomies and is much more awake then she has been she's even getting into her usual mischief as I woke up this morning and she had chewed a massive hole in her tent at least she's doing better 😭😅 she's also been eating like her usual self again 🥰

She's was very sleepy last night but she's been eating and this morning she's a lot more awake and active and doing heaps better she's been under the heater all night but her heating pad should be arriving today to keep her extra warm :)

She's had some painkillers and she's eating again not alot but she's eating that's the main thing and she's also been chewing on some toilet rolls as well :)

Just got her home and the vet said everything went well her temperature was a little high but she has plenty of pain killers and a heating pad coming in the next couple days so right now she has her own personal heater been stressing over my darling all day and I'm so relieved to have been able to bring her home I was expecting her to stay overnight but little missy is ok and is still her lively self <3

I'm so stressed today's already been crazy and I'm already overwhelmed now I'm worried about my little girl I know she'll be alright but she's still my baby girl idk what I'd do without her 😭😭
