BERTIE
Hi Val,
 
Sorry it's taken so long to send these to you but here are some pictures of Bertie one of the babies we adopted from you way back in June.
He is such a great character and is a constant source of entertainment and amusement.
Needless to say we love him to bits.
Hope you and all the bunnies are well.
 
Alison and Alan

MRS RABBIT & BENJAMIN

                                 
Hi Val,

I adopted a lovely black rex dwarf female rabbit from you at the end of last September, who I've named Mrs Rabbit. I'm really sorry it's taken me so long to send you some pictures of her. She's doing well and seems a happy bunny.

Sadly, the same cannot be said of Benjamin, who I adopted from Pets at Home about a week before I adopted Mrs Rabbit from you. After taking Benjamin for a check up with Margit, it transpired that he had a chronic bone infection (one of the worst Margit had ever seen, in fact she thought it was a malignant tumour at first) and very sadly, the kindest thing was for him to go to sleep a few weeks ago.

I made a complaint to Pets at Home - locally and to their HQ, because poor Benjamin had been sitting in his cage in their shop for 6 months without ever having had a vet check him. His notice said he was 'grumpy and best not suited to children'. I am convinced it was his infection which caused him pain, that's all, and he could have been treated for it over those 6 months.  I couldn't believe how negligent PAH had been. PAH did refund the cost of  Benjamin's initial consulation and treatment (£220 - Margit had to do a biopsy to find out if he had cancer) and said they would look at improving procedures in the shop. I'm very sceptical whether anything will change though and I worry for the other animals there.

On another note, I'm free any work evening Mon - Thurs for 1 -2 hours if I can help with anything. I'm happy to make it a regular commitment. I can''t do Mon at 11.00 am unfortunately.

BENJI
Hi Val,
 
I picked up a 2 and a half year old black/grey/white netherland dwarf from you about a week and a half ago. He's doing really well.
 
I just wanted to ask what brand of bedding you use and which hay you give the rabbits? Benji (his new name) just doesn't eat the timothy hay I got, so I have tried him on Meadow hay from Supreme Pets in Lewisham which he doesnt appear to like either. So I just wanted to see if this is something you may have noticed with him in particular? I will get some taster hay packs from the 'Hay Experts' online and see which one he will eat. He now loves his fruit and veg ( I understood he wasn't keen) especially carrots and green beans on the odd occassion and enjoys playing with his ball and running around the lounge. I've attached a photo of him in his new home.
 

Thanks
 
Nikki


BERTIE
I have finally got around to sending you the photos of Bertie (was Lucky) and his pal in the garden.  They are still getting on well and enjoying each others company.  Eating plenty of veg and running around the garden (weather permitting) dont seem so keen at the moment.
 
Please be assured that he is happy and healthy
 
Nina

BLUEBELL
Hi Val

I'm delighted to say that Bluebell and Angel seem to have hit it off already.
Here's a picture of them cuddling! She's quite timid with people, but is fine
with Angel. She hasn't quite worked out the ramp between the two levels of the
hutch either! I'm sure she'll figure it out soon.

We'll give you an update in the New Year.

Hope you have a great Christmas.

Regards
Keeley



HAMISH & FLOSSIE

Hi Val,

 

As promised, I am sending you some pictures of Flossie (brown) and Hamish (grey/chinchilla), who I gladly rehomed on about 5th December.  They are brother and sister and part of a litter of 8 week old babies you had recently taken in as a result of their parents being mis sexed – not sure if you remember them?

 

Anyway, they have now both had their Myxi and VHD jabs and I’m waiting a few more weeks before Hamish can be castrated as he is bothering Flossie a LOT!  Saying that, I think she’s the dominant one as, although they’re both keen on grooming each other, she gets more than her fair share.  Girl Power!

 

I’m attaching a few pictures so you can see how they are growing.  In some of these, you’ll notice they have really been enjoying the snow.  They are house bunnies and took no house training at all, they just did it in their litter tray from day one.

 

They’re both settling in perfectly to their new home and love nothing more than grazing on veggies, straw, hay, pellets etc. and then sparking out in front of the fire.  I can’t wait until the summer to see how they’ll behave outside having a run round.

 

I can’t imagine life without them now, they really make my house a ‘home’!

 

Anyway, thanks again and I hope the rescuing is still going well.  It saddens me how many people abandon these lovely, intelligent, loveable animals but at least there are people like you and me to give them a better life that they deserve.

 

Alison, Flossie and Hamish



EPSILON
Hello,
I adopted a rabbit from you in August and though i would send you some photoes of his frist christmas with us. We have called him Epsilon, he is really well behaved and well trained. He must be the friendliest rabbit ever, he jumps up to see anyone who walks past, he would have me cudderling and stroking him all day. We took him to the vets went we first got him so hes had all his jabs and is all heathy.
Thanks
Louise



BEAU
                                       
Hello Val
 
I don't know if you remember us but at the beginning of the year we adopted a rabbit from you - I've attached a picture, sorry for not doing this sooner!! We decided to call him Beau and although he was a little shy at first he now has lots more confidence and is much more friendly. We would really like to find a friend for him, and have seen a few on your site we really like - Buttons, Holly, Molly, Bumble, and Blubell all seem really lovely! We'd ideally like to get quite a confident girl as Beau can still sometimes be a shy boy!
 

Thanks a lot for your time,
Louise and Emily


BOB
 
Hi Val sorry for the delay, things just get so hectic and the days just roll on by.  Anyway here's a photo for you, tried to get him in the foreground but he wouldn't perform for the camera!
 
My son has renamed him Bob and they are great together, he's always being groomed by her (Pikachu) and they snuggle down together, it's lovely to see, he really does have a good temperament!
 
Thanks Val, if this is no good let me know and I will try again with the camera.

FLUFF & BRAMBLE

Dear Val,
            We bought our lovely bunnies from you in July.  Sorry the photographs have taken so long.  I haven't taken any photographs since early september, so they are a bit bigger now.  We have taken your advise and have booked them in to the vets to get 'sorted' on Monday so they will become a bit less hormonal.  They are very happy (I hope).  They live in a hutch in our back garden, and we let them into the house some evenings during the week for a run around.  Each weekend they spend most of the day running around the patio (which is big) as long as we are close-by to keep an eye on them.  And of course they come inside for regular cuddles (mostly for my benefit rather than theirs).  I will keep you updated with photographs from time to time.  Thank you for your advice and for our lovely little rabbits! 
 
Best wishes
 
Lucy and Dan

 

   

 



BULETA
Hi Val
 
thanks for Buleta (new name it means Fluffy ball in Catalan). Her and Micheal have not been apart since they met and she's having a very good effect on him.

KITTY

Hi valerie,
Kit-kat (or kitty as we tend to call her :) ) has settled in very well and is really helpful with my homework as you can see in the photo, as well as loving a good cuddle. She also had a lovely time running around in the garden before the weather got a bit chilly, and now enjoys hopping around my room and trying to nibble every piece of important coursework she can! She's a lovely new addition to the family - thankyou for everything.

love

MARGE
 
Val
 
We collected Marge (we kept the name, small female mini-lop) from the GRR about one year ago - she had been returned to you once or twice before. She has been with us and her new husband, Benjamin, since, living happily in our garden during the summer and has the run of our shed in the wintertime. She likes runnning around our house too. When we got her, she had weak back legs and had trouble standing on her haunches. She has grown strong and is the fastest member of our house over a 30 yard dash. She is charming, inquisitive and friendly and is firmly in love with Mr Bunny. Thank you so much for our happy Marge Mrs Bunny.

HOOCH
Hi Val,
 
Hooch is GORGEOUS.  Thank you so much for putting us together with him.
 
He has the nicest personality of all the rabbits we have had and he is stunning looking.
He has been a bit shy for the first day or so but is coming out of his shell a bit now.  I also got him to eat a bit more today than he has been.  He likes pears.  I bought him excel bunny food which seems to be ok for him.
 
Thought you'd like his photo for the webiste.
 
Will email you soon with the holiday dates.
 
Best wishes

BLANKET

Hi there val
 
just wanted to give you an update on how the baby rabbit is doing. We got her from you on the 7th of october. The first few days she was abit quiet and reserved but as the days went on she got more and more energy! Now she runs around the house like there is no tomorrow and she binkys alot which is fun to see :) she adores being picked up and cuddled. Many times she has come and sat on my lap, there have been times where she has sat there for up to 3hours! We are slowly introducing her to our other male rabbit TJ ( we had also got him from you around a year ago) but because she is so small we are doing it one step at a time. Her favourite spot around the house is in the living room, thats where she is most excited. TJ the other rabbit we rescued from you is doing well, he is the calmest rabbit i have ever had, he loves being brought into the house and picked up. Thank you for introducing us with these two lovely rabbits, they are a great addition to the house :) Keep up the good work!
 
Regards
Surpreet
 
Here are a few pictures of blanket:

 

 



LOPPY

Hi there!
 
Thought I would send a few pictures of how the black otter mini lop doe that I rescued last Wednesday is doing.. She's now called Loppy (not the most inventive of names!) and is settling in very well! Her and Boo are becoming good friends - the first couple of days Boo put up a bit of a fuss about letting her live with him but now often catch them cuddling up together in their bunny palace. They love their runs in the sitting room, and Loppy gives me a good chase to put her back! Boo is very happy with his new wife and she's a lovely addition! Getting friendlier by the day!
 
Thanks so much for your help matching them up,
Sophie, Boo and Loppy.

 

 

 



JESSICA

Hello,
Sorry its taken a while to get in touch! We named our beautiful mini lop Jessica! She's settled in very well and everybody thats met her has fallen in love! She's a little monster and has the run of the house! Andy and I are besotted with Jess and we couldn't imagine life without her now! Thank you for your help. I hope that you find good homes for all the other lovely rabbits in your care.
 
Best Wishes,
Tasha, Andy and Jessica

ROSIE
Hi Val,

I'm so sorry, it's taken me ages to manage to get some photos onto my computer to email. Here are a few. Rosie is doing great - thank you for introducing me to a wonderful bunny who i love very much! She particularly enjoys playing in my floor length curtains (the pink and orange ones in the photos). In her first few days here she was fascinated by the toilet, but that phase has passed, and now she loves lounging under the sofa or dancing around the curtains. She also has a lovely 2 storey cage, but has not yet gone up the ramp between the two floors!

Anyway, hope things are good at Greenwich Rabbit Rescue. I will send some more photos when I get them. 

All the best,

Anna
 
  


BAILY & JACK

Hi

Sorry this is soooo late but Bailey, (the white and grey one) who we collected from you in June has settled in well. She still remains a little timid but her rabbit like behaviors: thumping, digging and eating our plants, has now rubbed off on our more established rabbit, Jack (also a rescue) who we have had for 6 years and whilst she has now stopped demolishing her living area he continues to try!

After a worrying first 48 hours together they both now seem to get on fine, they spend equal amounts of time together and apart but it is particularly lovely to see them hanging out together in the planter, as they are the picture, or basking in the sun together.

Thank you so much for selecting the right match for Jack and for letting us have Bailey, we really do have out work cut out with these two now but we wouldn’t change it for the world.

Kind regards

 



BELLA
Hi!

Lianne here, I adopted the little girl rabbit the other Sunday. Just thought i'd let you know how she's getting on. She was very, very shy for the first couple of days, but now she's very at home. She's like a completely different rabbit, she's very playful and loves running and jumping around my apartment, and is always exploring and playing. She seems very happy, which is lovely to see. I'm really enjoying having her and couldn't imagine being without her now.
 Find attached a few pics of her (i've re-named her Bella).

Keep up the amazing work that you're doing.

Kindest regards, Lianne.

 

 

 



INDI0 & BRUSTER
Hello Val,
 
As promised here are some photos of Indy and Brewster. They have both settled in our house extremely well and have been up to mischief working together; raiding bin bags, escaping behind cupboards.
                                                                                       
 
Hope this is OK
Cheers
Matt and Sharon.

JOSH AND HIS RABBITS
Hi Val

We got two lovely rabbits from you a few months ago (Might be longer)?

Please see attached photo's (Rabbits with my son Josh).
Josh loves the rabbits and they have given us all an interest! Thank you!

All the best

SNOWY & BIGWIG
Dear Val,
Just thought I'd drop you a line and a couple of pictures, Snowy is doing fine - she seems to be happy with her new friend Big Wig and he likes to look after her. He escorts her to into the garden when I get home in the evening and brings her back in for tea when it starts getting dark.
 
She has started licking Big Wig's face when he sits next to her, so he now takes every opportunity to lay down near her, even in the recycled newspaper basket (where they are pictured) which seems to be Snowy's favourite place. Big Wig used to sit in his fluffy basket in the kitchen, but now the newspaper recycle bin is obviously the new in-place!
 
I am pleased to say, Big Wig is a much happier rabbit now that he is not alone and I am sure he would like to say 'thanks for the bunny Club 18-30 holiday!'
 
Thanks a lot will keep in touch
Wendover

 

 



MERLIN
Hi Val,
 
I adopted Merlin from you this April and promised to send you some photos of him, sorry it has taken me so long but here they are!
 
He's doing very well, still doesn't like being picked up, but loves a stroke and having his nose rubbed.  I honestly don't know what I would do without him now, my flat would be a much less interesting place without him around!
 
Anyway, hope you are well.
 
Lianne

 



DOTY & HARVEY

Dotty and Harvey are enjoying life and send their regards.

                                  



LUCKY
 

Hi Val

 

I rescued Lucky from you in April and I was thinking about getting him a female friend. He has been castrated since the beginning of May and I was just wondering how I would go about finding him a mate. The vet said that is seemed very content on his own so would it be wise to keep him alone or do rabbits generally like to have a buddy?

 

If you could give me some advice i would be very grateful. I always keep an eye on the website.

 

I have attached two pictures of Lucky. I am not sure if you will remember him. He is a fab pet and really is part of the family.

 

Kind Regards

Elaine McElhone

 

 



FUDGE
Hi Val,
          Thought I'd let you know fudge - old name Dougle is doing GREAT.

Really friendly snuggles right up to your nose, loves stroke's & cuddles.
Here's a picture of there brand new hutch and run - Its a chicken coop lots of
space a great rabbit play house!! and also a few pics of fudge munching.
He loves his GRUB!!
                             Love Katie, Fudge & Blueberry x





DANDELION
hi Val,
I adopted Dandelion from you last Dec and just wanted to give you an update and some new photographs.

She's in her outdoor cage now the weather is good and loving having the run of the garden.
She's very well behaved and only eaten one plant and dug one hole and totally knows when she's been naughty! there are lots of bunny kisses for everyone who comes to admire her and give her a nose rub.

She comes into the flat at night to watch TV with us, Chris is trying to teach her the rules of cricket but she much prefers watching sex and the city with me!

thanks for letting us have our beautiful bunny.
Emma &Chris..

UP DATE/ FLOPSY & FLIP
Hi Val,
It's Lauren again with more updates on Flopsy and Flip flop, the two beautiful little(or big!!!) bunnies that we adopted from you last august.
Now both rabbits are just over 1 years old, and very happy they are too. At night they sleep in their hutch in the shed, and on the summer days, they come out into their other hutch to play in the garden!
They have grown so much since we adopted them from you lst year, it's so unbelievable!
They enjoy cabbage, carrots, celery, cucumber, and occasionaly brocoly and sprouts every night and also always have access to pellets.
We love them so much, but all the thanks goes to you for letting us have them!
Thanks once again
Lauren and family XXXundefined
 
 


HAZEL & TEX
Val,

Just thought we would drop you a little line to let you know how our two little babies are getting on. They are now called Tex and Hazel, and are very cheeky! They have settled very well, love their cage and have free run of the balcony throughout the day. They have also pretty much taken over the top floor of our flat and are very much turning into good house rabbits, already using their litter tray. Tex seems to have to wee on us everytime we pick him up though! Not sure if it is excitement or marking his teritory!
Thank you anyway, we will be in touch if we have any bunny related questions.
Many thanks,
 
Tom and Cressida

                            


BAILEY
Hi Val
 
I wanted to send some pictures of the little boy bunny we bought from you yesterday. We have called him Bailey - as he is the colour of the drink!! He has settled well already and seems to be loving his new home.
 
Will send some more piccies when he starts to grow!
 
Thanks very much for such a little cutie, we love him!
 
Susanna and Damin x


GEORGE
Hi Val
 
We want to thank you for our new much loved family member George. Joy, our daughter introduces George to her friends as her little brother!
 
George is for all of us the first thought in the morning and the last at night. He is such a lovely nature and makes us always laugh.
 
Thank you very much.
 
All the best
 
Joy, Sara & Bjoern



PETER RABBIT

Dear Val,

just letting you know that peter is doing well, he is settling in fine and is friendly, though i did get bitten whilst he was at vets having is claws trimmed, but will let him off that one as he was probally stressed and a little frightened. whilst at the vets we discovered he has ear mites, which he is being treated for.

he is eating well and i've started to introduce a  few treats like carrot and kale, he has had a hop round the garden on his lead and loves to play with his toys epsecially in the morning when its cool. i saw the greenhouse aluminium sheeting you use and may get some, but i do keep him shaded throughout the day.

i will be emailing you some pictures very soon

BT
Dear Val,
Dear Val,

My name is Cui, I don't think you'll remember me, but my housemates and I were the ones who visited you last November and adopted the little brown rabbit, BT! We really love him very much, and I'd like to think he's very happy with us too (in fact we think he's become a bit of an attention-seeker, in a very lovable way).


Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon.


Regards,
Cui.


BT IF YOU ALL REMEMBER WAS LEFT IN A PHONE BOX IN LONDON


LOST PHOTOS PLEASE SEND AGAIN






Hi Val
As promised I am attaching photos of Dillon and 'Mrs Grumpy'  Actually, she isn't grumpy at all but she has a permanent scowl that makes her look in a bad mood !
 
The pair of them get on so well and are inseperable.  Dillon has lost a lot of weight due to all the running around with his playmate and Mrs Grumpy has gained so she no longer feels boney.  I'm so pleased that we persisted to find the right girl for him as it is definitely true love. 
 
Thanks again for all your help.
 
Best wishes
 


HAVE YOU GOT ONE OF OURS?

We have rehomed many rabbits from here now, it would be nice if anyone sees and has one  could send in a photo.

Music found by my good friend chriss from wigen

 

                       



AGGIE
Auggie is doing great, and is becoming quite friendly. We spend a fair amount of time with him and he is well on his way to being house trained. He lives most of the day outside on our enclosed deck, but really loves it inside. We love him so much. Thank you!

Best,

Sean & Barbara
                                           


BLUEBERRY & FUDGE



Hi Val,
            Here's a few pics of Fudge and Blueberry, having fun around the garden.
 
As you can see Blueberry is teaching him all her bad habits, EATING ALL THE PLANTS!!!   
(I have them both caught in the act).
They make a great pair. Partners in crime, they were running around next doors garden this morning having great fun, till i went and got em back. Luckily the neighbour loves them both & they are treated to a carrot each morning - spoilt rotten.
 
SO SO CHEEKY!!  Cant take my eyes off them.  GREAT FUN its like having 2 naughty kids in the garden.
 
Fudge loves his food & he don't like to share Blueberry's lucky if she gets a look in.
Hes like a hover but when i first got him he turned his nose up to veggies. Not anymore!!! 
 Even eats the apple & odd grape i put down for the Blackbird if hes not quick enough.  
 
Hes fighting fit and Healthy now recovered from the snip!!  Lots of love Katie,
            
                                                                                                                         Blueberry & Fudge. x x x   

 




BARNY
Hi Val
 
I hope you are well.  It's Julie here, I bought a little rabbit (Barney) from you a few weeks ago and wondered if I could ask you a couple of questions?
 
First of all, Barney has had his first VHD and Mixy jabs and I noticed this week that he has developed a couple of scabs at the back of his neck, around about the same place of the injections.  One of them is healing now, but he has lost a bit of hair there.  The other one is a bit red and looks like it has been bleeding.  I put a little bit of savlon on it tonight and hope that calms it down.
 
Do you think they were caused by the injections?  Is this normal?
 
Also, we wre thinking of getting Barney a little friend.  Can you please let me know if you have any similar aged bunnies that you are looking to rehouse?  I guess if we get a doe we'd have to get Barney castrated and the new rabbit speyed, which is no problem.  I was just wondering if you had any 3-4 month old mini lop does?
 
Thanks for your help in the above, I have attached some more photos of Barney.
 
Best regards
Julie Jones

PEPSIE
Hey Valerie!
Zoe (formerly Pepsie) is setting in nicely - albeit a few escapes from the cage!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures of her - enjoy.
Alexander,
Bye





CHARLIE
Hi val,
You may remember us from about 4 weeks ago when when brought a 3 month old mini lop.
We've named him Charlie (or Chazz!) and he is certainly a big part of the family!!
We all love him to pieces and he enjoys running through his tunnel and gnawing on chunks of carrot!
He are a few pics to show how he's been and what he's been up to!
Many thanks for this funny bunny!
Lauren and family x


PENNY

 

 

                                      

Hi Val
Thought you like a quick update on Penny who we adopted from you in January.
She was spayed in February and once she was fully recovered we bonded her with our castrated buck (Priscilla) in March. It was virtually love at first sight and they have been very happy together since. We had ordered a new bunny house in January for both of them, it finally arrived last week and this weekend Penny & Priscilla moved in  - they have loads of room and they love it.
 
I've attached a couple of pics for you, hope you like
 
Kind regards
Sally Farquhar



ARCHIE
Hi Val,

Just thought you'd like a little update on Archie who we adopted a few weeks ago. 

He's doing great and is growing up fast!  He had his first trip outdoors today and loved it - please see attached pics! 

Other than that he rules the house really :)

We're just waiting to get him neutered and then we can start introducing him to his companion to be.

Hope you're well and thanks again for letting us adopt him.

Amanda and Doug


CORKY
Hi Val,

Just thought I would give you an update on Corky who I got from you a couple of
weeks ago. He has had his myxi jab and he is going back in a couple of days for
VHD. Him and Oreo get on really well and I have attached a photo of them in my
garden. The first day he went outside he didnt eat any grass but on the second
day he was eating everything in sight!! Currently neither of them are boss as
far as I can tell and they cuddle up together.

Also I wanted to say thanks for all the hard work that you do and please do
continue!

Jo




LUCKY

Hi Val,

 

I just wanted to email you to update you on Lucky the rabbit I adopted from you at the beginning of April. He has really settled in now and we love him to bits. He spends most of his time out of the cage running around and hiding behind the curtains or in any dark spot he can find. He is being take to the vets tomorrow to be castrated as he is a little too in touch with his male side and a few of the cushions and other soft furnishings have been subjected to his antics. I have attached some photos of him that I hope you like. Thank you for everything and I will let you know how his operation goes.

 

Kind Regards

Elaine McElhone


                                

 



TANGO
Hi Val,

we have adopted Tango, a one year-old dwarf lop now known as Jazzy, around five weeks ago from your rescue.
He is absolutely lovely, loves to run around, comes whenever we call him and stands on his hind legs on command!
I've attached an easter postcard we have sent to our friends and family: hope you like it!
 
 


ARCHIE
Hi Val,

Thanks again for letting us adopt the baby boy rex cross on Sunday - we're really happy with him and we think he is with us! 

We've called him Archie and he's settled in really well, eating all his food with the occassional carrot and making a lovely home for himself in his hutch.  He's even braving the living room floor all by himself now!

I've attached some pics so you can see how he's doing and to put on your website if you wish.  We'll keep you updated as he gets older and once we've introduced him to his companion to be.

Thanks so much again - he's gorgeous and we're really pleased.

Kind regards,

Amanda and Doug

RHUBARB & BASIL
                                      
Just thought you might like this! I did it for my grandsons so I haven't gone into too much detail of the 'illness'. Also, 'Micky' has been re-named Rhubarb by them! He doesn't seem to mind!! It's a bit sentimental, but the boys were so upset at what had happened that I needed to make it as sweet as possible. 'Rhubarb' is absolutely fine, I don't think there is a dominant one - Basil is much more timid than Rhu, who likes human company as well!!
Thank you so much. You do fantastic work - as the RWA says, 'Rabbits deserve better'!
 
Once upon a time there were two little lop-eared rabbits, a white one with brown ears and nose called Hops, and a little black one called Basil. They spent all their time together, dashing around playing hop and jump. They shared hay and tasty tit-bits of carrot and when they just wanted to rest, they cuddled up in a corner and slept.
 
One day they both became very sick. Poor little Hops wasn't strong enough to get better and died. Basil was just as ill, but she just managed to hang on; the vets worked very hard and the people who love her stayed with her day and night; stroking her, giving her medicine and her favourite foods. After 2 weeks she was finally better and could go back to her hutch. She was well, and had her human friends to play with, buut it wasn't the same as having another bunny to play with and be around all the time.
 
Basil's human friend didn't like to see a lonely bunny; she heard about a special place which looks after rabbits that need new homes. The human phoned this place and was told that there was another little black rabbit who was all alone and very much wanted a friend. So Basil went into her travel hutch and was taken to meet this other bunny - his name is Rhubarb. The humans were a little bit worried that the rabbits might not like each other, but after two minutes they were snuffling and wiffling together - they liked each other very much.
 
So Rhubarb went home with Basil - he was a bit frightened at first, it was all new and strange. But Basil showed him where the food was kept and where they should do their wees and pellets. There was a special dark corner full of soft hay that was just for sleeping. Basil even showed Rhubarb that the humans would give him carrot and spinach leaves.
 
They have been together for nearly a week now. They are so happy - Basil still remembers Hops, but knows that she is in Bunny Heaven and is very pleased that Basil isn't lonely any more.


JEFF

Hi Val
Jeff is settling in really well (adopt him 1 month ago), he is very strong headed and rules the lounge! He loves running around jumping on and off the sofa or lays in front the TV with us. He has become a big part of the family and we don't know what we would do without him! Thank you so much for letting us adopt him, we love him so much.
Love Heather x



MAISIE

Thank you so much for letting me give her a second chance of happiness!! love hannah x



TOADY
Hi!

I hope you're well.

I just wanted to thank you! My housemate and I re homed a rabbit in January, (I think he was called Toady but he's now called Oscar)... He's been with us for three months now and he's a real soppy little character. As he's settled in it's been great to see him getting more confident, he loves running round his bunny-proofed rooms and making friends with the natives... Nothing he loves more than settling down in front of the television with a carrot and a lot of attention. He's even inspired a comic book character!

Thank you again,

Emily



LEO
Hi Val,
           Just thought I'd send you a few pics of Leos first day running around the garden with Blueberry.
Thanks for today he will have a loving home. Already booked vets to have the chop! keep up the good work.  Katie x







NEO
Dear Val
I hope you're well. Just wanted to give you an update on Neo. Got Neo from you when he was 8 weeks old a year ago now. As you can see he's grown a bit. He was completely litter trained within a month and is a totally free range bun. He definately has a lot of character and insists on eating the wallpaper at my parents house but in he's very protective of his own place!
Thanks again for helping us choose the perfect lil bun who we love to bits!

HONEY

Hi Val,

 

I hope you are well?  Honey the Dutch rabbit is settling in well and had her op today so is resting in her carry box as I type this – I’m hoping she’ll come out soon and eat/drink but she still seems to want to rest.  She’s very affectionate but slightly manic so am hoping that having her “done†will calm her down a bit – before she was done we noticed she loves to chew things – almost choosing newspaper and straw over hay and Super excel!  She also did a really weird thing where we’d put her on the bed and she’d stretch her front legs out in front of her on the sheets – like she was constantly trying to push something!  V odd.

 

Have attached some piccies for you of her in the run at the weekend with Doug my boyfriend who you met when we got Maggie and Duke from you.  Hope all’s well with you and the other buns/Belgians.

 

Speak soon,

 

Sally x



BRACKEN
Hi Val, also sending over some happy pictutres of Bracken, he's a little monkey 
crossed with a really cuddly bunny. He likes being held on his back with legs in
air being tickled. Love Leannexxx



HANNAH
Hi Val,
Thank you for letting us adopt Hannah a month ago. She's really settled in well. She's a very head strong rabbit and knows her own mind. In the evenings she enjoys sitting in the living room with us or racing around the armchair depending on how she feels.
We've attached a couple of pictures of Hannah in her new home.
Thank you again. We really love having her.
 
Jenny and Keith


FLORANCE & PEDRO
Hi Val,
Here are a few pictures of Florence in her new home and with her besotted boyfriend Pedro. She is such a lovely bunny and settled in straight away. Pedro is head over heels in love with her and they are rarely apart, so thanks ever so much for matching them up,
Claire, Jake, Pedro and Florence


MR BOB HARRIS
Dear Val -
We just want to let you know how the cute chinchilla dwarf-lop (now called Mr Bob Harris) that we picked up last weekend is doing.
After a very long trip on public transport it took him little while to feel comfortable in his new surroundings. But he is a pudding - so adorable and super friendly. The first week he didn't leave his cage when the door was open and when we sat him outside his cage he felt a bit timid. And then yesterday he suddenly started leaving his cage on his own accord and loves to run around the flat. Funny enough, he seems completely trained (or maybe he is just very polite :)).
We are going on holiday for a couple of weeks and have a a friend who will look after him in our flat as we worry a long journey on public transport will scare him again.
Thank you so much for letting us take him home with us - we love him so much and he is part of our family.
I have attached a few pictures and below is a link to some videos of him. Again, we think what you are doing is amazing and we completely support your cause.

Thank you!
Liane & Matt



LOLA
Dear Val,

I thought it was about time I gave you an update on how Lola (previously either Dixie or Dipsy?) is getting on in her new home.
I've attached some photos of her and her surroundings. She settled in really quickly and was using the litter tray by the second day!
Shes a very relaxed rabbit and is a joy to have in the house, she skips around my feet in the morning when I have breakfast and sits on my lap when watching TV in the evening... She plays with all her toys and runs at high speed through the green bunny warren I bought!

I hope you and all the other buns are well!
All the Best
Hannah


COCO & PETE
Hi

Thanks for the two baby rabbits this afternoon, we have named them Coco and Pete!

They are very well behaved and seem very calm and relaxed now in their new home.

HONEYBUN

Hi Val,
Thought you may like to see how "Little Mo" ( now Hunny Bunny) has settled in.  After a couple of sleepless nights with the cage rattling all night !!! I think Major has given up a bit. ! They now love to cuddle up to each other and wash each others ears. Hunny Bunny is still a bit nervous and is a nightmare to catch when shes out of the cage, just as well they are indoors at the moment. Dont know if I'd ever catch her when shes got the run of the garden !
Best wishes
Brenda and Alan Stevens



REGGIE
Val,
 
We adopted tiny baby Reggie (we decided that was the name that suited him best!) from you last week. We were worried at first, with him being so small, that he would be timid and shy. Definately not! He is such a little character bouncing about all over the place and playing all day in his run! Although he has alot of energy, he loves a cuddle too. Even the cat loves him! My brother was wondering if you have know the day he was born, as he is aleady wanting to give him a birthday party haha. He is perfect, and already part of the family. I have attached some pictures of him for you.
 
Thank you
 
Nikki, David and Family


                                               


RUFUS
Hi Val
 
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that Rufus is very well and very happy in his new home. He is eating and drinking fine and seems to love his hutch. He can either be found buried under the wood chippings or tucked up in his box with his head poking out.
 
He is super friendly and so well behaved. He hasn’t chewed anything (touch wood) and is really good when out. His favourite place is snuggled in between the cushions on the sofa when he wants a cuddle. He has also learned that he can jump onto the sofa if he gets a little run up and then he comes up to you demanding cuddles.
 
I have attached a picture of him lounging on my bed which is where he stays so I can keep an eye on him while I get ready in the mornings. I am at work at the moment and really miss him. I am thinking of setting up a bunny webcam so I can keep an eye on him during the day so I know that he is happy when we are out.
 
Hope you are well.
 
Kindest
Nicola



JESSICA

Hi Val

 

Just wanted to give you an update on how our new bunny is settling in. We named her Jessica and she is doing really well. George just adores her. Things were pretty wild on Saturday, with him chasing her around the cage and lounge room. But by Sunday morning they were cuddled up in the corner together, grooming each other. It is really sweet to see them together and George seems so happy. Jessica is a really lovely, pretty girl. She is still quite shy and nervous about us, but I’m sure we will win her trust soon. Thanks for helping us find George such a great companion.

 

Hope you like these photos of them getting to know each other.

ONE OF DANDILIONS BABYS/ FRODO
Hello Val, Frodo Oswald (Dandelion's patchy white and brown boy) has now been castrated and is living full time with Effie. They cuddle up and eat together and get on very well. GREAT!!! 
 
I took him in to my school to share him with my reception class - they loved him! And he behaved very well.

MAJOR

He has been  a house bun for the past year as there is huge male fox living in the garden next door !! Summertime he has the use of a huge two storey hutch out in the garden but is brought in at night !
Thank you
Best wishes

LUCKY
Hello Val

Thought i'd sent you an update on 'Lucky'... Since he has moved in with us his real character has really blossomed. He seems very happy because when its playtime he jumps right out of his cage and does blinky jumps. I think we are learning more about each other every day.. he even jumps up on the sofa to sit next to me and if I lie on the floor he will run up to to check if i'm ok. Thanks so much for letting me have him. I have re named him Reg because he has such charm and character. Today we are going in to get his first set of injections and in 2 weeks time he will have his second jab. I have attached a photo of Reg while he is relaxing in one of his favorite spots in my living room.

EASTER
Hi Val. We got a lovely mini lop bunny from you last year. We had named him Easter because he always sits like an Easter egg. He plays an important part in our life now.
btw, I attached some his lovely photos.
 
Regards,
Sorsby


                              


RALPH

Hi Val

 

Sorry not to have been in touch sooner but I was hoping to send you a photo of all 3 buns relaxing together. Sadly not possible as Splodge is still not happy with Ralph’s arrival! He is still trying to bonk her and she understandably isn’t happy. I am hoping when he is finally testosterone free that things will improve. Meanwhile he is living in the house with me and they take it in turns to have free rein in the sitting room. As you can see he is very happy and relaxed. He is HUGE!!!! He never stops eating and seems to be growing still. He is still very affectionate and I adore him.

 

Hope all is good with you and your buns.

 

Kind regards

 

Imogen

                                         



FLIP FLOP
Hi Val,

Happy New Year from Hong Kong, and from Flip Flop in particular.

My wife Vivian was introduced to Flip Flop about two years ago now,
after her previous rabbit passed away.

You thought he was quite old and might not have that long left, and
despite our plans to emigrate, he could at least have a happy home
with us as we would be around for a little while to come.

Two years later, and as the photos show, Flip Flop is still doing very
well. If he is as old as you thought, he's never acted acted like it,
and since we took him he's enjoyed a new lease of life.

Last September we moved to Hong Kong, and Flip Flop is enjoying life
here, and is even eating hay now. He's a tough boy, and didn't seem to
be affected by the 12 hour flight or the jet-lag...

Wishing you all the best at home with with your very, very, worthwhile work.

Best wishes from Viv, Chris, and most of all, the thoroughly spoilt Flip Flip!


DANDILION
Hi Val,
Thought i'd give you an update on dandelion. She's settled in really well and loves jumping around on her rug. She's got such a fun personality and loves sitting on my knee for a cuddle. She's very proud of being so pretty and grooms herself all the time, infact she must think i'm a bit of a scruff as she's taken to licking me nearly as much.
i've attached some photos of her hanging out in our living room.
Hope all is well at the rescue and thanks for letting me have such a gorgoeus bunny.
love
Emma and Dandelion.

OSWALD
 Hello, I took this little one home a
couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if you could you let me know his
date of birth, please?


he is loving his new life. Tons of
cuddles from family of all ages. He is standing up in his hutch right
now, next to me, sniffing away. His new big sister is lying outside
his cage - not sure if she is just enjoying the company or keeping
guard, making sure he doesn't get out! When they have met on neutral
territory she has licked him, until he moved too much! He is not sure
about her, I think.



Anyway, I will give them more time,
but he is so part of the family now, I will have to make sure they get
on! I call him Oswald or Frodo.

Thank you again, he is lovely.





COOKIE & BISCUIT
Hi Val,
 
I just cannot thank you enough for these beautiful rabbits first we had Cookie
then a few months later we got biscuit from you

and now this is how they have settled in.
always together have been from when I picked Biscuit up. Biscuit has put on weight already he puts his head in the food bag as soon as im trying to feed them. He is becoming more and more cuddly even comes up for strokes now and loves his belly rubbed. Cookie has not stopped licking me since Biscuit has arrived its like shes saying thank you for bringing him.

Have a lovely Christmas and New year, you work so hard looking after all those rabbits and your such a lovely lady.
 
Thank you again Love Paula, Amy ,Emily William Joshua ,April and Lily xxxxxxx



HARVY
 Hi Val,

I adopted Tigger bunny from you last Wednesday and just wanted to let you know

how is getting on.

From the very first evening, he seemed very at ease with his new surroundings.

As soon as I got him out of the carrier and sat him on my lap he began
chomping
on the goodies we offered him. Our new name for him is Harvey and he already
comes to us when we call him.

He loves his new hutch and pen and is doing Binkies all around the house and
the
garden. He has an enormous amount of energy and is very quick to learn new
routines. My other rabbit, Daisy, is very interested in him and seems happy
again, having lost her bonded companion, Dudley last week. I really hope that
Daisy and Harvey will soon become best bunny friends, but time and patience
will
tell.

Yesterday was a very worrying time for me as Harvey went to the vets for
castration, but I'm very relieved to report he came through it well. I'm
keeping
him indoors overnight for a few nights - especially as it's so cold - just to
make sure he is fully recovered before he lives permanently in the big
outdoors.


Thanks once again for all your good work for the bunnies. We are just so
pleased
to be able to help this beautiful bunny lead a happy and fulfilling life.

With best regards,
Pauline & John
Sittingbourne, Kent




COOKIE
Hi Val,

It's Sarah and Damaris here, we got lilly from your centre last Christmas after
our first rabbit died (mookie). We are very very happy with her and wanted to
send you a pic to show you how she's doing. We are also wanting to get a
companion for her .
Best wishes

Sarah and Damaris





FANTA
The 10th of december last year we brought home one of your rescues and we named her Fanta because of her orangy colour.
As you can see in the pictures she's now grown and became a beautiful (and quite spoilt) lady.
After one year with only human company, we decided to bring her a bunnyfriend from ARC's rescue in Twickenham and at the moment, after a couple of days together, Fanta is licking George's ears.
Thank you Val for all your advice and help, and obviously thank you for letting us have Fanta!!!



                                                      



GEORGE

Hi Val

 

Following on from our call last week, here are some photos of George. We think he is happy living with us (despite some of the grumpy faces in the photos! Ha ha)

 

He went to the vet on the weekend to get his second shot, so is now fully immunised. We have found a really nice vet just up the road from us who has experience with rabbits.

 

He still hasn’t come out of his cage on his own yet. He doesn’t mind when I lift him out and he will happily sit on my lap for a cuddle. Also, if we put him on the floor in the lounge he will hop around for a while and explore, but it’s not long before he’s jumping back into the cage. We have tried coaxing him out with food and treats, but he still won’t come out. We’ve also put a towel outside the cage so he doesn’t have to jump out onto the wooden floor (and there’s also a big rug in the lounge), but still no luck. It seems he just really loves his cage! Anyway, we’ll keep trying.

Anyway, hope you like the photos of George. We really love having him
.
Bridget

  

  




PHEOBE
Hi Val!
Just thought I'd give you an update about Pheobe. She's settling in very well, was very nervous the first couple of days, but now, one week on and she's feeling right at home! From binkying everywhere to lounging watching tele with Ben and I as you can see in one of the pictures!
We're going to get her spayed very soon, then find her a castrated boyfriend! So hopefully see you soon!
One thing, She is terrified of being picked up, any tips? I've managed to get her to climb up me (while I'm half sitting, half lying down) and eat while there, but only for a few seconds. Other then that I've picked her up once, but she wriggled out and I was left covered in fur! So strange considering she let me hold her while at your rescue centre? Please help!
Hope all is going well with you and all your bunnys!
Stacey, Ben and of course Pheobe x

HONEYBUNNY
Hi Valerie,
 
I'm sending you some pictures of the 12 week old rabbit we adopted from you last week. Children decided to call him HoneyBunny. He is absolutely an adorable rabbit. He becomes more confident, loves his new food and carrots.
Here is a link to a video of him that my son put together:

Thank you for letting us adopt him.
 
Best wishes,

Thank you so much for letting us take her.

REX


Hiya,
Here are some photos of the Rex I bought from you on Saturday. After thinking long and hard, I thought there is no better suited name then Rex!
He is a lovely boy, so gentle and loves a cuddle! Yet VERY mischieveous for the time that I've had him. His hobbies include: Hiding under the bed so you can't catch him from either side, tearing the paper when you're trying to read a magazine, and winding the dog up by running in between his legs.
However, I would change him for the world!!
Thank you so much.
 
Rebecca


SUNNY
Dear Val,
 
i just thought i would give you an update on sunny (TJ) and how he is doing.
he is very cheeky and loves to dig holes everywhere some are even up to three ft long! Tj loves to play and around and also sleep alot during the day.
Tj is inseperable from his companion named coco, he goes where ever she goes and vise versa.
During the day they have there own run around which is very big, they also have a pen if they want to go in the actual garden and occasionaly they run around in the whole garden supervised. They both stay in a double decker hutch at night and then let out bright and early the following day.
Tj loves to have his head stroked and his cheeks =D
You can also check some videos i have made of Tj and coco on youtube heres the link:
http://www.youtube.com/user/tjandcoco
 
Lastly i have attatched some new pictures of Tj and coco, hope you like them,
 
keep up the good work!
 
Best wishes

Hi Val,
Here are some pictures of Pedro, the little Lionhead we adopted from you a couple of weeks ago.  He's such a lovely friendly rabbit and is getting more confident in his new home every day. He has a great appetite and is very curious, but what he loves most is having the top of his head stroked. We love having him, so thanks for letting us take him home, and we will see you at Christmas when we bring him in for his holiday,
Claire, Jake and Pedro.

                                               


FLIP FLOP & FLOPSY
Hi Val,
as promised photos of our little darlings flip lop and flopsy. They are getting on fine, and are very happy with their new house in the shed!
Nearly 6 months is flip flop, and flopsy is nearly 5.
Flip flop is the ginger and white, and flopsy is black.



flopsy & bugsy
Hello Val

As promised, here are a couple of pictures of the 2 lovely rabbits we got from
you a couple of weeks ago. The children have called them Flopsy and Bugsy, and
are really enjoying playing with them and looking after them. They are very
lively and inquisitive, and are great fun. They have a hutch with a run
attached outside for the day time, and the children 'put them to bed' at night
in a smaller hutch we keep in the shed. We were all so worried about foxes, so
keeping them in the shed at night means everyone gets a good nights sleep!

Many thanks for our lovely rabbits.

Becca, Sam, Charlie and Libby x






Hi Val,
 
i hope you are well. We got little Daisy (we renamed her) from you and promised we would send you pictures of her. She is doing so so well. Really come out of her shell and is so loving. I really enjoy grooming her long hair! The boy on the right is her brother charlie, they make a great pair-naughty together!
 
Val, i have some good news. I did a fund raiser for you at work and have raised over £200 for you. The work has a policy though that we cant hand over cash, is there a supplier where i can out this money onto so you have credit at the store or do you need me to buy anything for the rabbits? Please let me know what you need with the money or how you would like me to give it to you and i will do what i can to help!
 
I hope this helps those precious animals!
 
thanks again Val, i truly love my girl and look forward to hearing from you soon as to how we can help!
 
Bianca

                        




RON
 
                                           


I hope you got pictures I emailed yesterday of Gareth and "Ron" which is what he has decided to call the rabbit. So far Ron seems to be settling in well and Gareth is so happy he hasn't stopped smiling.
Many thanks and regards

ARTHER & MARTHA
Now Grace and Marlon!!! 
 
Hi Val 
Just some pictures to show you what happy bunnies we have! 
Hope you are well, 
 
All the best, 
Lucy Bolton




LIONEL
Hi Val,
 
I thought i would send you an update and some pics. Lionel, as we called him (don't ask!!) has settled in really well.  He and our girl are absolutely inseparable and not even a hint of fighting...yet!  
 
His bottom problems seem to have gone away too, which is good!
 
Please ignore the mixed food you can see in the pics, i have been using up the last of it and mixing it with the one you gave me, which they are getting used to.
 
Just one question, my girl is due to go to the vets for her jabs shortly, do you have any idea if Lionel has had vaccinations in the last year, or would it be safest to get these done for him at the same time?
 
So ... thank you very much!!!  Two very happy rabbits, which makes me happy!
 
Best wishes,
Liz



JAKE
Hiya, I don't know if you'll remember me, i bought a white lop from the rescue in July 2008.
 
When we got him home, we set up another cage for him to live in for a few weeks as he had recently been castrated. We decided on the name 'Jake'.

After a few weeks he began settling in and i introduced him to my female bun, Nelly. It took them a while to get used to eachother and start bonding but after a few weeks they became inseperable. Its really very cute.

I have attached some photos for you to see, one of them shows him running around the garden on his harness and lead, and the others show him laying down looking very cute :)

I'm very happy with my new bun, and i think he's friend, Nelly is too!

All The Best, Sam, Jake and Nelly x


                


BILLY
Hello Val, Just an update for you. Billy (the darker bunny)was adopted a few months ago now and is really enjoying life with Honey and she is too, especially now that he has had his 'snip and chip' and calmed down. Here are some recent photos for you.
Kind regards
Suzannah Cooper



                                                    


COOKIE
Hi,
 
Well I just want to let you know how Cookie (was Gina) settled in and to thank you so much for her. What a beautiful fun girl she is with lots of personality. This is our first ever rabbit for myself and my six children and we are having so much fun with her. She made herself at home straight away, very much likes her food this one but im keeping to the diet you put her on as I know its good for her health. Cookie is a cuddly rabbit and is very much loved by us all. I have attached pics :0)
 
Thankyou again
 
Love Paula, Amy,Emily,William,Joshua,April and Lily x
                                  


TOFFEE
Hi Val, pics FINALLY as requested (sincere apologies).

First pic is of our Smudge (female lop on left), a real lady, who has left a big
empty hole in our hearts and is missed beyond words.

Second pic is of our precious Cocoa. We had her for such a short time before
her beautiful life was cut so suddenly short.

Finally we have Toffee who has joined our one eyed Fluffy. After having 2 such
loving and caring partners previously, he is spoiling Toffee rotten who, in
turn, is spoiling him rotten back – and he’s loving every minute of it!

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for all your support and
advice over the years.




PEGGY & DYLON

Hi Val

I came to you in June with a friend from Cambridge. I adopted Peggy the grey lionhead. I have attached a couple of photos of her with her new husband Dylan.

It has taken a little while to be able to start the bonding process as her neuturing didn’t go too well. Mainly because she chewed the stitches and opened the wound up after 4 days! All was repaired and now she is fighting fit. In 4 days Dylan and Peggy were living together and seem to be very happy. They enjoy playing together in the garden and cozying up together in the hutch. They are both very affectionate to me as well.

Thank you for letting me adopt her.

 

Best wishes

FLOPSY & FLIPFLOP

Hi my name is Lauren and about 4 weeks ago i came to ur house with my family and adopted 2 gorgeous mini lop bunnies. A sandy and white girl bunny who was 10 weeks old but very small, who i called Flip-flop. We also adopted a black bunny with grey toes who was 8 weeks old, and my brother called her Flopsy. They love their new hutch which has a run underneath for them all day, and they love to run around in our kitchen and our trampoline!!!They are eating and growing really well and we are continuing to feed them the pellets that you advised us to buy but we also give them a treat of carrots and cabbage. They also give me and my family kisses!!! They have had their first injections for myxomatosis and they are going to have an injection for vhd on thursday. At the vet they were weighed and Flip-flop was just over 4 lbs and Flopsy was 7 lbs! We have taken hundreds of pictures but unfortunately we can only attach a few!!! At night we keep them safe by putting a cover over their hutch, it also keeps them warm!!! And in the winter months we are going to put them in the shed. At the moment they are doing so many poos that we are cleaning them out once every 2 days. Thank you for making my dreams come true. We will let you know how Flip-flop and Flopsy are getting on at a later date.
 
Thanks again,
Lauren xxxxxx
            


SUNNY
hi val,
 
i had purchased a rabbit named sunny now known as TJ from you on the 16th of  may.
I thought i would let you know how he is doin in his new home, TJ gets along very well with his partner coco who is a female, they are both inseperable from each other.
 
the rabbits stay in the garden for the duration of the day and then put to bed in their hutch, TJ is very spoilt and loves a good cuddle and loves being stroked.
 
Here are some pictures of TJ and coco...
 
keep up your good work.
i will take some more pictures of TJ (sunny) and send them to you asap =]
 
regards

FREYJA
Hi Val, just dropping you a line to give you another update on Freyja, the mini lop we adopted in April. She's now easily doubled in size, and after a scary illness in May, has become a vivacious, proud, spoilt little bun. We're going to get her a boyfriend once she's spayed, because as an only-bun, she's more than a little haughty, with a major attitude!

She was getting too big for her old cage, so we got her what my friends refer to as 'The Bunny Castle'! If you shrunk us down to her size, it would be roughly 3 times the size of our place! Like I said, very, very spoiled bunny. It's even carpeted, because when we first got it, she would slide and slip down the ramp, so I nailed on some carpet, and now she can scamper up and down it fast as lightening.

She likes nothing more than carrots, lettuce, apples, apple bark, and taking naps in the most annoying place she can find, usually right in front of the living room door, PREFERABLY if someone is knocking on the front door. She likes watching films, too, but she prefers waiting til the moment of suspense in whatever film mum is watching, and then jumping on the keyboard so that it messes up. That is most definitely her favourite game. She also refuses to chew on any wood except our dining room chairs, despite all the lovely wooden toys and chews we bought her. Her favourite toys are the lids from pringles cans or plastic coffee cups, anything else is completely beneath her. She also LOVES chocolate, not that we allow her any. We can't even eat chocolate in the same room as her, as she goes absolutely nuts for it!

Sorry I dont have pictures of her outside for you. She loves her treks into the outdoors, but I'm always too frazzled trying to get her there in the first place to remember the camera!

Hope everything at the rescue is going well. We'll be coming again for a boyfriend for her once shes spayed and we've moved. If you ever need a hand, I'd be glad to help out. We don't have much money right now, but I've got plenty of time, so if you even need someone to help clean cages or anything, just ask!

Best Wishes,
Henri



MUFFIN
Hi Val 
See our 1st pic of muffin below. He's settling in now and loves being stroked lots. He's still not ready to come out and play yet but we will send more photos when he does!

GINNE
Hi there!
   Just writing to say that the mini lop rabbit, renamed Ginne (pronounced 'Jin'), that my family and I brought home is settling in well! The little eating problem we on his first day has definetly gotten better as he pretty much tries to eat anything now (the other day he tried to get a nibble of my Mars bar, I wouldn't have any of it!) He's such an adorable and happy rabbit, and everyone in my family loves him very much :] We'll definietly be back for a little friend for Ginne too!

PENNY AND HENRY
Hiya,
 
I found your card whilest having a clear out and thought I'd send you a few photos of Penny, the Netherland Dwarf cross that we got from you last year.  Simon got her as my birthday present to go with our Dwarf Lop Henry.  She is smitten with him an follows him around.  They are completey in love and Penny is so gorgeous and so well behaved.
 
They are at my mums at the moment, they've been there for 6 weeks, enjoying a lovely summer holiday.  We're moving soon so they are there until we move and get settled.  I've just had a look at the bunnies you have at the mo.  I'd love to take more from you, wish we had the room. 
 
When I've got our money sorted I'll donate some cash to the rabbits, just have it all tied up in moving this month.
 
Take care
 
Jo


                                  


SIMBA &NARLA
Hi
 
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to email you an update and pictures - they have both settled in well - they are booked in to be spayed soon and have had all their vaccinations.
 
I have sent you a picture of their new home - they seem to love being able to go in and out as they please - the ramp took a little getting used to but they soon mastered it - they still love to cuddle up and groom each other as well.

They are both getting much more curious and brave, and have definitely figures out people mean food - they come running when we go out to see them and sometimes are disappointed it is only cuddle time not dinnertime!
 
I have recommended you to my sister in law who is thinking of getting a rabbit so hopefully she will be up to see you soon (Lara)
 
Thanks ever so much - any more news I'll keep you updated

BAILY & BRODIE
Hi Val,
 
Here ar two pictures of Bailey (brown & white male) and Brodie ( chinchilla & white female) which I got from you earlier this year, sorry
it has taken so long to get them to you.
They now live together in a 12' x 8' aviary, it is very cosy in there, they have a double hutch which they can run in and out of and they
 have green tunnels everywhere. They love to climb all over me when I feed them, and as you can see they also love snoozing in the sun.

MARLEY

Hiya

 

I’m sorry that it took me so long to email you pictures across, there have been problems with uploading pictures etc. But here are a few pictures of ‘Marley’ having fun in his new home.

 

He loves exploring all of the nooks and crannies of the house and is even starting to get used to the wood floor!!

 

He has become super friendly and runs ups to you when you come in the door. He also loves his food (you’ll see him with his head in the bowl in one photo!) and the occasional treat of a little bit of rich tea biscuit!!

 

Anyway, thank you very much for introducing us, we have become great friends and I hope to get more piccys to you soon.

DYLON & PARSNIP

Hi Val

 

At the end of May we came to you to look at your rabbits and ended up taking home two gorgeous black dwarf lops.  I think they were called Rosie & Jack - we have now renamed them Dylan and Parsnip.  I just wanted to let you know that they are settling into their new home very well and I have attached some pictures of them for you to see.  They live in the garden in their lovely hand built hutch which we are in the process of extending so they can come out and still be safe and secure when we are not around, it will be a real bunny-metropolis! 

We sometimes have them in the house in the evenings although Parsnip doesn't like wooden floorboards so we have to put towels and rugs all round the house otherwise she wont move - Dylan on the other hand is very inquisitive and a bit of a cheeky chap!

Anyway thank you for letting us these gorgeous bunnies, they have made a fantastic addition to our family!

Keep up the good work

Lucy & Darren

DOUGLE/ LENIN
hi val
 
i don't know if you remember us, but we were the couple who rehomed the mini-lop/dutch cross dougal a couple of weeks ago. he has now been renamed lenin (a private joke!). and i have to say, lenin is settling in remarkably well. please find attached a few photos of him in his new home. the smaller ones are of the first day he came home. he was very nervous to start with, and we genuinely thought he might have a heart attack with all the excitement. what a turnaround there's been since then! now he's the model of a cheeky chap - running around the house like he owns the place, hopping, jumping and bindying wherever he goes.
 
he joins us in the living room every evening, where he has several favourite spots. one is under the fireplace. the other is on the black armchair he now calls his own. we call it his throne. long live the revolution indeed! he loves his cuddles, but only when he's had a good sniff and explore - he's so full of personality and always very curious. he also loves to toss his toilet roll and rip up paper balls, for which he's rewarded with some very tasty treats.
 
thanks so much for such a lovey rabbit. what a beautiful boy he is, and we love having him as part of our family.
 
all the best, mira and dan x




PERRY


Hi all can you all see
 
I am a naughty rabbit called “something else†– “els†for short that is me
 
You see when I was a tiny all furry and small the rescue thought I was a girl when I was a boy
 
I went to a lady all gentle and kind who loves me and cares for me and makes my bunny life just fine
 
Lots of freedom, running around with my pal Flopsy never far behind
 
You see in my previous life I was a Rottweiler or a brave GSD
 
Flopsy was and is always a scared little timid thing then -  up pops me Else and I show him a few things
 
We eat the plants and climb on the pens and do naughty things and just have mayhem, are we happy, are we free, as free as a bunny can be in captivity
 
Our mistress is a Buddhist all gentle calm and kind, well except when I jumped on the GSD from behind and did bunny things she shouted at me – well he is a GSD with a pedigree
 
So my bunny life is great and great food love & care and a great big GSD who protects Flopsy and I running free in the garden and when laying in the sun – he loves us like his mistress so gently respectful & kind………..

HARRY
Hello again Val,

I got a dwarf Ntherland for my boss from a breeder in Harrow. She was 9 weeks old, but shockingly during her first night with us she had 4 babies!! it was horrid, poor little girl must have been so stressed. One of the babies survived and she seemd to look after it alright. I had to give her back to the breeder as I felt they both needed proper care. Got her brother now instead and named him Howard.

Perry has just been to the vet for his registration and first vaccine He was very well behaved. I am impressed with how calm and confident he is. He now pees in his litter tray, loves pushing his treat ball around and dissembling his chew puzzle. Still loves a cuddle, he will lie down right next to you if you are on the floor with him. He also loves chasing our broom and having a scratch with it.

Thanks so much for saving the little one so we could have him in our home! He is very much loved and such great company! and he gets on marvelous with our little hamster Mac as well:)




TANGO
As promised pictures of Tango. He is a lovley boy. Pam Brock.




BISCUIT

Dear Val

Just to let you know Biscuit (now Willow) has settled in really well. He has a large hutch, run and sometimes the patio to himself.

Will send you some more pictures and keep you updated. Keep up the good work.

Kind regards,

Stuart and Wendy Lowe

                                                         


FIDGET


  
We have named her Fidget as this is all she did on the way home from picking her up from you.
 
She is a real character and squeeks away at us when we get in from work. She loves cuddles and being wrapped up in her blanket, which you can see in the pictures.
 
She wasnt too sure about our other Guinea Pig Scruffy at first so we have put her in a seperate cage & we just let them have a run around & play together, slowly but surely she seems to be getting use to Scruffy with just the odd teeth chatter every now again lol.
 
Anyway i'll let you get back to your hard work, and just wanted to say what a great job your doing!
 
Lauren & Paul


TANGO IN HIS NEW HOME
Hi Val
 
Just sending you some photos of Tango and Tipsy. They make a lovely couple.
Tango is such a lovely boy.
 
take care  noosh





ROXY
As you can see Roxy has settled in well and has a very big personality!
Shame not more people realize how much a rabbit can contribute to family
life if only they game them a fair chance.

With your tireless and selfless dedication at least some do get a second
chance.

Thank you so much

DODGER & MUFFIN
Hi Val,
 
Thought i would just send you a quick email to thank you for Dodger who we have renamed Stud our female being Muffin!!
Well we got him home and he is being spoilt rotten already. He loves his new hutch and garden. He has been trying to make friends with
Muffin altho she is not to sure at the moment. Every time he gets to close she runs off and tries to hide then she teases him running
circles around him. The have both been leaping around the garden and investigating each others hutches! He is very sweet and friendly
bunny and i am sure by the end of the week they will be getting along fine. We have taken a few pics of his first few hours at home with
his new friend. We are very pleased we chose him, altho all you rabbits are lovely and well looked after, very hard choice to chose just
one. Well i hope you like the pics and i will keep you updated on his progress with his girlfriend. As you can see from the pics they look very
much alike, i have added some pics of muffin for you to see.
 
Many thanks
Sam and Stud



NEW HOME
Hi Val, 
 
do you remember me? I adopted that agouti minilop girl about a month ago. I had troubles bonding her with my Eliot at first but in a week they were already in love... So cute they almost make my teeth hurt! 
So, as you asked, here are a couple of photos. 
 
Thanks and best,  Valentina
         


OSCA AND LULU
Hi Val, 
I bought two rabbits from you about a week ago. I have renamed them oscar (blue) and lou lou (yellow). I don't know where to start, they are adorable and are really getting on well with the family. The journey home was OK but once they were in the hutch it looked like they had been there forever. Sniffing every conner on the hutch and exploring the new home was really special. Once they were settled in to the hutch we put them in the run which was on the grass. It looked really cute when they stand on the hind legs as you can see with oscar. I've started to pick them up and every day gets more confident. Whenever, i open the hutch roof they come up to be groomed which is really nice. 
Thanx for everything, 
From Joe



                                           


PARSLY & TYME
Hi Val,
 
Some pictures of Parsley and Thyme - now renamed Molton and Marni.
 
They seem to have settled in to their new Eglu well - very inquisitive and lots of noseyness.
 
Thanks for all your help.
 
Best Regards
 
Verity and Darren




Hi Val,
 
We adopted Thomas (originally Pig) from you at the end of last year.  After a shaky start when he became ill with GI stasis, he settled really well.  He is definately spoiled, as I got a vet nurse to look after him while we went on holiday a couple of weeks ago and apparently he sulked the whole time!  He also likes to wake me up at 3am for a bit of extra attention!  His favourite place is under my bed or on the sofa (which you can see him eyeing up in one of the photos).  He is definately part of the family and I couldn't imagine being without him.  Thanks so much for letting us have him x


MOCHE & CHICO
Dearest Val
 
Just wanted to send u some pics of my babies. I have had my piggies for a week now and they have settled in really well. My husband adores them too and cuddles them for a half hour every night before going to bed. My kitty loves them too and has even groomed them while i had them on my lap. They have a nice big hutch with upstairs and downstairs and a long run out the front. Their favourite food is dandelions and carrot tops.
 
Their names have changed. Before i got the piggies from you i spent a lot of time reading up about them and found their history so interesting that i decided to name them after civilizations from their native area (Peru, Equador and the Andes).
 
The little brown one is called Moche (a civilization dating back to AD 100 to AD 800) and the little white one is called Chico (the Norte Chico civilization is the oldest known civilization in America dating back to between the 30th and the 18th century BC.)
 
Once again, thankyou so much for the wonderful work that you do. Hope you like the pics!
 
Sincerely
 
Lindsay McNamara



VINDA
Hi Val,
 
I adopted a lovely little black butterfly otter mini lop (Vlinder - attached) from you about this time last year, who continues to thrive and be the joy of my life.



BILLY
Hello Val, Here are a few photos of Billy Bounder (as we have named him!) with his new companion honey and our cat Smudge meeting him for the first time. Smudge is very sweet and welcoming. All the best to you and all your Bunnies.

SALLY & PANCAKES
hi val,
here are the photos of the two sisters i adopted from you last week. renamed sally and pancakes - though it is increasingly difficult to tell them apart! they are both very happy, eating hay all the time and loving their new toys. when they are litter trained they will start to come into the house in the evening too.
thanks
zoey



FREYIA
Hey Val
 
Miss Blue was officially re-named Freyja, and she's settling in to her new home very well. She's very adventurous, and very clever. She's already mastered the art of hopping up her ramp into her cage, and we've had to build higher barriers around the 'bunny safe zone' because she kept hopping right over them! She's very affectionate too, she hops up to me when I lie on the floor and gives me 'kisses'! She also follows me around the room and tries to nudge open the kitchen door when I go in there.
 
We love her to bits, and she's absolutely definitely one of the family. Thank you so so much, you've really brightened our home up.
 
Anyway, here's some photo's of little Freyja in her new home.
Henri and Mike

                                                    


PERDIE & JASPER

she has also got use to our chickens as well now.

Here are some photos.

PIRATE
Hi.
We bought a blue, male, cross breed, 9 week old rabbit from you on the 12th March 2008 and just thought you'd like to know he's doing fine, hes perfectly healthy and he's loved to bits by all of us :) his name is now Pirate :D hes got a great little personality but hes still a little nervous but he has grown a lot in confidence since the day we got him. he likes to eat lots of carrot and broccoli which is his favorite :) he likes hugs and if you're walking with him he likes to sit across your arm and look all around him to see where we're going. he will sit and let you hug him for a long time if youre in someplace quiet (i.e. without the TV on or any music.) hes had his first jab, and he is booked in for his second after the school holidays. oh, and he has had lots of comments about how beautiful he is by the vets ;) they seemed to like him a lot. we also took your advice and bought a hay rack which he now uses. he saw his first snow on my birthday (sunday) and he was quite confused by it all :) it was quite cute. he left little footprints in the snow, but i didnt let him stay out for long because he got wet and ihad to dry him in case he got ill :/



PETER RABBIT

Dear Val,
Just to tell you that Peter is fine, adjusting very well. He has
already started using a litter box, and has run through the all flat.
He stays mainly in his hutch, however the door is open and he has
access to the flat when we are present.
Here you have some pictures!
Ana



NEO
Hi Val,
Hope you are well. Just wanted to update you about Neo now that he is well and truly settled in:)
He's doing great and is now fully litter trained! So proud of him, he started using the litter tray within 2 weeks and has been ever since. He now runs about everywhere doing binkies or crazily running around my feet in circles. He'll be going to get neutered in a couple of weeks...hope he'll be ok. He's also now taken to rolling on the floor or lying completely flat have he's had a run around! He was absolutely the perfect rabbit for me and hope he remains happy. Thank you again for all your help.
Best

JOEY AND LOLA
Hi Val,
 
a few weeks ago I had a beautiful young rex who had just been castrated from you. The hope was that he would live with my Continental Giant who's previous boyfriend had died before Christmas. I'm very happy to report that Joey and Lola are getting on wonderfully and have attached some pictures for you.
 
Thanks

NEO
Hi Val,
It was a pleasure meeting you on the weekend. Thank you so much for your help. Thought you might like to know that the 8 week old netherland dwarf rabbit i got from you is doing fine and has settled in really well. Have called him Neo and attaching a pic. He's been running around and doing happy bunny jumps all weekend. He's eating well, including lots of hay but hates the yellow flakes in the food and leaves them!
Thank you once again, you do an amazing job. Wish you all the best and will keep you updated on how Neo is doing:)

Hiya
 
Just to let you know that Lois, the 9 year old female rabbit we got from you about a month ago is doing well. She and my other male rabbit are getting on great and bonded well immediately, they did not fight once since we got her. They love sleeping together and grooming each other. It is really nice to see them together and I believe that each others company will benefit both of them in their old age.
 
I have attached some pictures of Lois & my other male rabbit, Lois is the one on the left in the pictures.
 
Thank you!!!
 
Best wishes

ELSA
Hello Val
 
I do hope you ok, I have attcahed just a couple of the many many pictures I have taken of Elsa ( she is so relaxed and at ease in living room people in and out, so at HOME) , if I call her name or majors my dog she looks, appears to have fallen in love with major more so than Floppies ?
 
Floppies is having operation in morning for his bits....I have cleaned all his blankets, cat bed everything for his home coming tomorrow after op, will do his hutch so CLEAN when he arrives home.
 
Elsa is at presnt living in living room hutch and run attached allowed out in garden 2 hours alone - not letting Floppies alone with her due to her being 1KG and him being 5.5IBS, and looks horrific him constantly attempting to jump her - hopefully op will sort him out.
 
Elsa is allowed freedom of living - loves wires so barracding them, adore major GSD and is not afraid even when he barks.. I also have a china GSD that someone bought me and Elsa chins and kisses this also ?  she has such a charchter that I never knew rabbits had, she is so naughty, up to no good......put her in run and shut her in at night just incase she finds a wire whilst i am asleep even though Major has taken to gurading her..........
 
 
TAKE CARE,BLESS YOU

Hi Val,

As promised, pictures of Oscar (Leo) in his new home!
He has settled in really well, and loves spending his
day on our bed!

He loves his carrots and has even taken to eating
apples!

A well behaved little man, with a great character!

Thank-you!



NELIE & DIDLEE
Hiya,
        Ive attached a photo of Nelly (previously called Maggie that i bought from you 3 weeks ago) laying with my rabbit Didlee.
 
They seem to have bonded realy well and they are getting better day by day. Ive tried Nelly on lots of different fruit and veg and it appears that she has developed favourites already!!! Carrots and Herbs!!! She is also eating lots and lots of fresh hay and im trying her on something new everyday, although she is a bit relectuant to try certain things. Her diet appears to be going well, although theres a long way to go yet.
 
She doesnt like being picked up but we're working on that, hopefully when she begins to trust us she will become willing to have lots of cuddles.
 
I will keep you updated on her progress.
 
Sam, Nelly and Didlee



ARTHER AND MARTHER
Dear Val 
The bunnies are VERY happy in their new home and loving this frisky weather! they love their hutch but also bounding around in the garden and coming in for the evenings to watch tele and eat broccoli and baby corn! 
I hope you are having lots of luck finding homes for bunnies. 
Love Lucy and Richard







MALVOLIO

Hi Val 
 
Attached are some piccies of the lovely Malvolio, a very manly (if not manly looking) white Lionhead who we got from you way back in October 07. He is a joy to have around and enjoys spending time on his rooftop terrace, as well as the sofa (which he also is fond of weeing on from time to time) and the rug which he runs around on leaping in circles. We saw Mol on the website and are sorely tempted to get him a companion, although we are worried that he may be too territorial now. What would you say? 
 
Anyway, thank you for our good friend Malvolio 
 
Kind regards 
 
Harry and Georgie

 




BLACK PAW
Hi Val,
 
Happy New Year!
 
We just wanted to thank you again for our Dwarf Lop which we got from you back in November, he has settled in so well and is literally the friendliest rabbit we have ever met, he is not afraid of anybody! Always curious and always hungry! He keeps everyone company and made our Christmas so much better having him around. I have attached some snaps of us with him, who is now known as Captain BlackPaw! An unusual name, we usually call him Captain, but that one black paw had to be made a fuss of!
 
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
 
Alex, Louisa, Talena, Austin, Graeme and Ross



BRUNO
Hello Val,

Thought you might like to see a picture of 'Bruno' (the darker one) - we got him from you a couple of months ago as company for Arti, the lady rabbit in the picture, after a fox had taken our boy rabbit. Anyway, he's fine and has settled in well. We've had him neutered and Arti, too, at the clinic you recommended. They're very good, so thanks.

I've fenced off the entire patio and turned it into a giant playground for them, which I think they appreciate going by the amount of running and hopping they do. All in all it's worked out very well and I thought you'd like to know that all's well.

Best wishes and kind regards

GEORGE & FUZZY
Hi Val
Just thought you might want to know, Rupert (now renamed George) who I got from you in the summer, has settled in well with my other rabbit, Fuzzy, after some very careful introduction meetings, combined with a little chocolate daubed on his coat.
Keep up the excellent re-homing work.
Best wishes

CHES,DAISY,DAVE
 

Hi Val,
 
Matt and I got two little Netherland Dwarfs from you in Oct. Sorry it's taken me so long to send photos. Matt built their house under the stairs so now Chesney and Daisy share the bottom floor and the two little one's have the top floor. They are both an absolute delight and are super friendly. They are both such pretty girls and we couldn't find names to do them justice so we finally settled on 'Dave 1' and 'Dave 2'. Dave 1(black) is very cute and tries her best to keep up with Dave 2 (Brown). Dave two is a real live wire and a dare devil. She's a real jumper so we're having to keep a careful eye on her! Dave 1 still needs a helping hand to climb onto the sofa to snuggle but she's getting there! I've attached a photo from when we were decorating and had stored some junk in the fire place. I found Dave 2 right on top of the pile doing her best to balance!!
 
I've also attached a recent photo of Chesney and Daisy so you can see how they're getting on.
 
Hope all is well with you.
Beth

Hi Val,
 
Also forgot to mention that Chesney and Daisy are our lucky mascots as they let us know we had a massive water leak. They kept running into the living room, running out and scratching on the bathroom door, trying to get in. They were doing this for ages until I finally went to see what all the commotion was about. Turned out we had a burst water pipe!!
 
Not only great companions but also psychic!!

BOBBY AND FLOPSY
Hi Val 
 
I'm finally up and running with my camera and have sent you some lovely photos of Bobby and Flopsy playing in the garden. They have settled down really nicely together. They groom each other and rest their heads on each other's back, its really lovely to see - true companionship. 
 
Flopsy is really funny, when anyone is out in the garden with her she comes straight up to you to say hello and she likes to get in on the act when I'm cleaning out her hutch. Bobby is slightly more aloof now, which is fine. I think he's glad to sit back and let Flopsy have all the attention. 
 
I wonder if you could answer one question? What's the best way to litter train Flopsy? Bobby was great and didn't take long to litter train at all, I simply emptied his litter tray every day and hey presto, he was clean. Flopsy, however, urghhh! She does it everywhere and its a real nightmare because I feel I need to clean the whole cage all the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks Val.

BIGGLES AND OZZY
                              
Hi Val



hope you are well. We adopted a dwarf lop from you in

February, then called Dylan, now called Biggles. I've

promised to send you some pics of Biggles and Ozzy and

here they are eating their dinner! Both are doing

great and they love each other and lick each others

faces and cuddle up close for a snooze! It's very

cute!



lots of love,

Mari & mark

Ozzy & Biggles




HECTOR & HONEY
Dear Val,
I thought you'd like to know that Hector and Honey (as we've called her) are doing very well together. There hasn't been any fighting, and Hector stopped trying to mount her as soon as she made it clear to him that she wouldn't tolerate any of that nonsense!  Hector's adapted well to sharing his house with a girl bunny and Honey seems happy as anything in her new home and with her new boyfriend! Shes being doing lots of exploring and grooms and licks Hector a lot (which he is definitely happy about!).
Its been hard to get any good photos of them together as Honey hardly ever stops moving! But I'm attaching a few here for you to see.
Thanks for all your help with the bonding!
Hope you and all the bunnies are doing well!
Best wishes,
Amy and Hugo
and Hector and Honey





PUNK
Hi Val,

I got this female guinea pig from you a few months ago now, and after a few teething problems, she and my other pig are getting along well.  I named her Punk, due to
 her funky hair style!  She is still boss, but I think any other pig would be over my Piglet as she is so submissive, although Piglet has become the annoying younger sister
who always wants to eat what Punk has, and likes to prod her in the bum and make her jump when she's eating, its a fun sight to see.

Hope all is still going well with the re-homing, time to start wrapping up warm!

Take care,

Jemma.



MIRA & MARLOW


Hello Val,
 
I am the French girl who took this lovely lop rabbit in January.
He is most of the time outside his cage or running in the balcony.
I love him so much! no one should buy rabbits from pet shops! so many are waiting for a new home in rescues such as yours! You do an amazing job with all these rabbits!
Regards,
Mira & Marlow



HOME AT LAST
 

HOPE YOU LOVE THEM HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL - Please no need to reply, I am sure you are so very busy with your babies, I envy you all those lovely bunnies & piggies - I know mine are a pure joy even when cleaning the smelly piggies!!!
 
 
Take care
 
bless you
Regards

PIMMS

                 

 

 
Hi there
 
I'm attaching a picture of 'Pimms' my little mini lop who i picked up from you around march time earlier this year.  You may remember i was looking for a little boy mini lop and came to look at a pair of blue opals but they had gone when i arrived.  You brought out this pretty little girl and warned that she was a edgy!  She is at times a little grumpy but overall lovely and likes to run around the house.
 
Thank you for our sweet little pet. 
 
Caroline


SPLODGE & DESMOND

Hi Val

 

Here are Desmond (as Harry is now called) hanging out with Splodge. They are great friends and showed zero aggression to each other. He never stops eating!!

HAROLD & MARMALADE

Hi Val,
 
Its been a couple of months since we gave Harold a new home, and all the signs show that he's loving it!  He scoffs his sweetcorn like crazy, jumps up on the sofa for strokes every evening and runs up and down the stairs.  Then a couple of weeks ago we came and brought Marmalade from you.  There were a couple of stressful days whilst they got to know each other (well, they were stressful for me anyway!), but now they are thankfully the best of friends.  Marmalade loves her new home, but still isn't very keen on the slippery wooden flooring, and won't yet follow Harold up the stairs at night when its time to go to bed.  She probably just doesn't wanat to go to bed eh!! Thanks for letting us take them both - we love them loads!

 



THE REXES
Hi
They seem to have settled in really well. They have pooed and drank and eaten. They have also had a little sleep and are now dozing together in the sun. Molly seems to be more relaxed as she's been looking at us walking around the garden, while Milly has dozed in the bedroom, although she's getting happier in our presence now. Attached are pictures of Milly and Molly, Milly being the brown and white, Molly the other. Thanks for everything.

GEORGE

 

                                          

Hi

 

George has now settled in with the kids. He still kicks a bit if we try and pick him up, (and he can kick quite hard!)

I promised to send some photographs so have attached a few.

As you can see, the cat is quite interested in him as well!

 

We are going on holiday next year in May and would like to take you up on the offer of looking after him whilst we are away. I will email you nearer the time.

 

Once again thanks for all of your help

TOM & WIFE

 

Hiya,
 
It's Nicola, Tom & Penny's mum. The baby's are doing great, Penny's had her first jab & Tom has been given the all clear. His eyes are definately damaged but they're stable now. After a thorough examination, it turns out that Penny is 3-4 years old, a little nervous but otherwise fine. She's getting more bold by the day, Tom is naughty from the moment he wakes up till he goes to sleep again. They get on brilliantly & there's been no fighting or bullying at all.
 
They're in their run in the garden at the moment, gotta get them in soon. I like them to get as much fresh air as possible & they love the grass and dandellions. I move the run around the grass & they cut it for me, it's great - I only have to mow the front grass now!!
 
I'm attaching some photos for you of them both...
 
Have just got them in while the pics were downloading, Tom is now inspecting the fire place (it's blocked) & doing high speed laps of the lounge. Penny is sitting in the litter tray having a wash. Tom's running around with a cat's plastic bell ball in his mouth now, they love all of their toys!!
 
Anyway, I'll keep you updated & speak to you soon
 
Take care & be lucky
 
love Nicola, Chris, Tom & Penny x x x


WILLIAM& WIFE

hi here is williams new home and girlfriend   settled in well  it was love at first site 
thanks for the lovely rabbit
 


BUSHEL

                                 

Hi Val,

We adopted a lovely rabbit from you in May last year, and he's doing
great (he has full run of the house now, and sleeps under our bed at
night, so he's a happy bunny). I'm actually emailing you because I
found a fantastic alternative cage idea on a website, and thought it
was an excellent choice for people who are thinking of having a house
rabbit - it gives the rabbit a nice safe place to hide, as well as
being more stylish for those who don't want a huge cage inside their
house. The only modification I would make is to put another 'hole' in
it, as rabbits prefer to have more than one exit (it's an instinctual
thing in case a predator comes in one of the entries/exits). But I
think it's a great idea and might be doing it myself!

It comes from this website (scroll down to "dee's kitty litter hideaway"):



BEN
Hello Val,
 
Just thought I'd drop you a quick email to let you know that Ben (black lop eared) has now settled in well to his new home.  Thankfully he and our other rabbit Millie have also fallen in love!
 
I've attached a couple of pictures for you.
 
Regards,
Liz Seage
 
 


PETER

 

Dear val, we just wanted you wright to let you to know we are doing as promised.We came about a month ago and after a rather torturous process, we decided on a aguti coloured 3 mth old dwarf lop. I believe you had him down as peter and he was at the time sharing with his sister Poppy.
Anyway four weeks in and he seems a very happy rabbit. He is quite outgoing and bouncing around and exploring. His confidence around us has also increased rapidly in recent weeks. Hes still not that keen on being picked up but we are working on that!
We are attaching a couple of photos that we thought you would like.
Many thanks
Louise & Martin

 



THOMAS

 

 

 

Just thought you'd like to see Thomas in his new home (thats his new 
name)!!!
He has settled in very well and is enjoying the sunshine.
He is absolutely adorable and the friendliest bunny we have ever come 
across. He likes nothing more than snuggling down for a cuddle.
Take care
From Tracey, David & Anthony

WOODSTOCK

 

                                                  

Val

It's been a while so you may not remember us, but my wife and I adopted a mini lop from you a few months ago, then Toffee, now Woodstock. He has had his first round of injections and trips to the vet and he has settled in really well. I have attached some pictures of him from when we first brought him home, but he hasnt changed much!  Although he has just shed his summer coat (almost) and now has big furry hind legs!

BOBBY

 

 

 

                                                                     

 

                                                                     

 

Hey Val!

 

On Thursday 19th July we adopted a 10 year old mini lop

called Bobby. Just to let know, that he has settled in really

well. On his first night at our house he was rather noisy,

Thumping his feet a lot, he was rather shy at first but as

 

He got to know the family he is really quite lively. He

 

Spends his days in his out side cage and then comes in at

 

8’oclock to settle down and have lots of cuddles. He loves

 

Jumping on the sofa and eating lots of carrots.

 

Thank you so much for letting Bobby comes to stay with

 

Us!

 

Love Emma, Kids & BOBBY!

 



DAISY & CHESNEY

 

                                                 

Hi Val,
 
Just thought you might like to see these photos of Daisy and Ches having a cuddle and watching TV. Daisy is now fully recovered, is eating solid food and has the energy of a toddler! They are firm friends and he's taught her how to use the litter tray too (thank goodness!).

HAMISH

Hi Val, Here are some photos of Hamish who is very happy in his new 
home and is now getting along well with his new friend Ingrid.

Thanks for  everything, Alastair and Nick

 

 



VLINDER

 

Hi Val!

You probably won't remember us at this distance, but I adopted
the lively little 1 year old black otter butterfly mini lop on
Saturday, April 28. He is now renamed Vlinder (pronounced
'Flinder' and meaning 'Butterfly' in Dutch). I just wanted to
let you know how well we've got on, how happy we are together
and how much joy he brings me.
Thank you so much Val for providing me with the joy of my life!
He is my best little friend, constant companion and playmate. I
know this sounds awful, but if I'm telling the truth I probably
love him much more than any member of my immediate family!

We send you hugs and kisses,
love,
Stephanie & Vlinder



ERNIE/ POOBRUSH

 

                                               

Hi - we adopted an adorable little rabbit from you on Saturday and thought
you'd like to know she is settling in just fine.  She is the friendliest,
cuddlest rabbit we've met...just what we were looking for!

Even though she's a doe, we deicided to call her Ernie.  Actually her full
name is "Ernie Poobrush".  Why Ernie?  Mainly as I'd decided on the name
even before we decided on the rabbit!  Ernie hasn't complained about her
name yet, so I think she's happy to stick with it.  Poobrush - mainly as we
spend the weekend sweeping up after her, as she's still not fully litter
trained at the moment!  But nothing that a little time and patience won't
sort out.

Here are a few pictures of her.  Thanks again for letting us adopt her.

Best wishes,
Angie and James



HECTOR

 

Dear Val,
Just thought you would like to know that Hector, the grey boy lop i got from
you a couple of months ago is very happy in his new home. He seems to really
like his double decker hutch and is very happy hopping round the kitchen and
patio... He's still not keen on being picked up, but loves having his nose
rubbed and massages behind the ears! He's eating lots of hay too, which is
good!
Hope all the other bunnies are doing ok!
Amy



POLO & TOFFEE

TOFFEE                                                                                                                              POLO

 

 

 
Both of them have ssettled in really well.
 
We were rather worried the first night as Toffee insisted on going up to the top of the hutch, but could work out how to get back down..
 
After repeated attempts she eventually fell on top of Polo, who didnt seem the least bothered.
 
They enjoy their visits in the house and also their walks around the garden once we have strapped them into their harnesses. They certainly can run fst.
 
During the day they have a large run, in addition to the hutch, and at night they are safetly locked in.
 
I love first thing in the morning when I open the conservatory door, both of them rattle the cage waiting to come and see me.
 
At first Toffe was rather reluctant to be pciked up but now she is as keen as Polo for her cuddles.
 
Thank you so much for all your efforts in saving the rabbits, both Hayley & Alex can't believe their luck to own such friendly ones, and I too am surprised at how much they have already become important members of our family.

POCKET & DUSTY


Joanna writes:
"Hi Valerie!,
It's been a long time but I wouldn't forget where I got my rabbits from,
would I. I brought two dwarf lop rabbits, one black and one--well I
couldn't really describe this one because she's lots of different
colours. Their names are Pocket (black one) and Dusty. Both are girls
and we are all very happy.
Joanna"

Thanks and thanks again for the bunnies, they are a great addition to
our lives.

ROLO

Hi Val,
 
Just sending you some pictures of the black netherlands dwarf I adopted from you a few weeks ago. i have named her rolo due to her very round belly. She still has some weight to lose but its now running around after her boyfriend arthur. They took a couple of days to get used to each other but now they seem to be the best of friends, even insisting on both sqeezing into the same tent. Arthur's been showing her around my flat, but their favourite hiding spot is definately my bedroom.
Rolo's still a little scared of humans, and tends to growl if I go to get her from her hutch if arthurs not in there with her, but he seems to be teaching her that humans are friendly, and she's slowly becoming more accepting of me. Hopefully it won't be too long before she's completely relaxed around me. Plus she's discovered I bring the breakfast in the mornings!

SIMBA & NINA

 

  

Hiya Val,
 
Not sure if you'll remember us, but I adopted a boy bunny in April 07, he is a golden lop eared dwarf. We've renamed him Simba! and he's fitting in perfectly. He has settled down beautifully with my female bunny Nina. They are best friends now! We all really love him and he's now a valued member of our family. Anyway here's some pics for you. Thanks ever so much! love Nicola & Mark x x x



HAZEL & GRETAL

 

    Hi,

This is Simon, myself and Adele had two of your guinea pigs back in April
and I'm writing to let you know that they have settled in really nicely. We
named them Hazel (the older ginger one) and Gretal (the baby one).

I have attached two pictures of them enjoying the sun on a lazy Sunday on
our balcony.

I hope everything is going well at the rescue centre and thanks again.

CHARLIE BOY


Hi! Just to let you know Charlie made it back to Tooting all safe and sound and has made himself WELL at home. At first he just sat about in his cage once we had it all set up, but after establishing that we just wanted to sit and watch him be cute he hopped on out and has been gallivanting around my bedroom ever since! He's a proper little noseypants and seems to love exploring every corner of his new home. He's brilliant and I love him to utter pieces, thank you so much!!

Just wanted to ask though, he has hardly touched any of his pellets since we got home. he's been munching hay and a few carrots but as far as i can tell has literally not touched his pellets. Should I be worried about this, or is he just not a big pellet eater?!

I'll keep you up to date. Thanks again!!!

xxx Di [and Charlie!]

 

                                                             



COOKIE & CREAM

                                      


Hi Val,

Here's a photo of the two wonderful rabbits we have had the pleasure of giving a home to, now called Cookie and Cream!
They're very cute together and clearly love each other a lot!  They settled in nicely and are a wonderful addition to our family.
They send their love as do we.  Keep up the great work and thanks!

Xenia, Alex, Sophia, Cookie and Cream xx


MERLIN & TINA

 

Dear Val,
 
I'm sorry that it took me a little longer than intended to let you know how things went between Merlin and Tina but it's taken a while for us to get any decent photographs of them because they've been so busy running around the house, exploring everything together!
 
We were quite cautious in putting them together at first as you can see from the first photo. However, when we removed the cage lid to let the two of them greet each other properly, there was no fighting at all. On the contrary, it was love at first sight for Merlin who was absolutely delighted with his new companion. He chased Tina around the pen, making wonderful happy-rabbit noises (very rare for Merlin) and then flopped on his side with his paws in the air (we'd never seen him do this before). When Tina tired of running round, she let Merlin approach. She's played hard to get for the last week but tolerates Merlin's attention and approaches him too from time to time.
 
Tina seems very settled now and has been exploring everywhere, climbing up as high as she can for a good look-out post. She will let us pick her up and stroke her occasionally and is gradually becoming more interested in us - particularly when Merlin is getting attention.
Many thanks for all your help.
 
Kind regards,
 
Jo

MARY & CHARLIE

Hi Val - hope you are well.
 
We have had some computer problems so I have been unable to send you any photos up to now.
 
Mary and Charlie are now the greatest of friends - Mary is in charge and Charlie knows his place ! Mary loves exploring and will squeeze into the
smallest of gaps that she can find in the house.  They are both happy and healthy as you can see.
 
After an initial 'domestic' they are now living is blissful harmony and love nothing more that being out in the garden.  The boys are really pleased
with their pets and handle them and feed them every day.
Take care
 
Tom, Jack and Lorraine


ROSIE & ROLO

ROSIE& ROLO

  

                                      

Hi
 
We came to you last Sunday and took home a georgous rabbit girl who had no name.  I hope you can remember us.  Well we
have named her Rosie and she settled in that very same day.  It took a few hours for my male rabbit Rolo to get used to her
and Rosie to get used to him! but that night they were happily together in the hutch washing each other!!!  Rosie and Rolo
are always together now be it in the garden or in their hutch.  She loves eating the grass and really enjoys the freedom of
our garden.  On the first day she seems almost to be jumping for joy in amoungst the flowers.  Rolo has also cheered up so
much he is the happiset he has been since the death of his first wife Lily.  Thank you so much for pairing us up with Rosie
she is an absolute pleasure to have and so friendly I just cant belive someone gave her up.  I can gaurentee you she will have
 a forever home with us (spolit rotton!!!).
 
I have attached some pictures of them both together.
 
thank you again
 
Natalie


JASPER

                  

                  

Hiya, Heres an update on Jasper the mini rex that we adopted last July, he
has been a sweet docile little bunny since we got him and we are really
happy with how he's settled in.
His claws are still scratchy but if you wear long sleaves then its not a
problem.
he's going to a place caulled holiday hutches for our summer holidays (two
weeks) and it lookes like a very good place for him to go so he dosent get
lonley.
we are thinking about getting him neutred because he sprays when he's
indoors and when im giving him runs in the garden he usually just runs
around my legs and..........well dosent matter.
he loves to do quik little dashas around the garden ending with a really
high hop up in the air.
After he gets tired he lies on his side (we call it flopping) and waits for
us to come over and stroke him.
keep up the good work at the rescue.

                                                          From Rosie



LUCY LOPPY AND LOVER

                                      

Valerie,

Just a quick note to give you some feedback about Lucy and Elliot (her new bit
of stuff) there has been zero fighting, just a whole lot of lovin.

Hope you like the photo.

Matthew and Susan



COCO

  

Dear Val,

I just managed to get back online yesterday. Thanks so much for your advice.

With this email, I have attached some pics of Cocoa.
He loves running in a garden, jumping and binkying around the hallway, but still doesn't like to walk on the wooden floor.
 
Thank you once again for letting me adopt him. He's a wonderful bunny.
 
Luxana


FRODO & PETAL

                                       

Hi Val
Frodo and Petal have settled down. They are very inquisitive and Petal (she's the grey one) is the leader. They were even friendly with the carpenters who came to build a cabinet in the alcove in the living room, so we could put the TV wires and knick-knacks well out of reach. Frodo is more assertive now - he had to because Petal was so bossy with him, always taking over their dried grass hidey-hole.
Francine



MUFFIN
Hi Val,
 
I just wanted to write and let you know what I think of my new home, and my new servant.
 
I left your home and all my friends about 4 weeks ago now, and moved to Sydenham to be with Mary, and a new playmate called Tinker. He was down in the dumps after losing his playmate so I was drafted in!
 
He is much older and bigger than me, but I have already got him round to my way of thinking.  He has no front teeth, so luckily for me he is a little slower at picking up the best bits at feeding time!  We seem to be getting on ok right now, he gets a quick nip from me when I feel he is over stepping the mark but he is learning!!
 
I have quite a big garden that we run around in but I keep getting into trouble for digging, I am very good at it you know!!
 
Mary is learning what I like and don't like.  She has finally realised I am not over keen at being picked up,  I have given her many scratches, to help remind her.  She spends quite a lot of time out in the garden with us, so I suppose she is not too bad!
 
Thank you for looking after me so well until I found this new home.  You do a brilliant job and the bunnies that find their way to you are very lucky to have found you.
 
Lots of Love
 
Muffin, (aka, Digger)
                                  


CRUNCHIE
Hi,
 
Just thought I'd let you know that Crunchie, who we got a few months ago, is doing well. Here's a pic of her taking it easy!
 
Kind regards,
F
                             


 

 

                                                                      

Just thought we'd drop a line and let you know our bunny we picked up
in January is doing very well. She's very brave and will do almost
anything for a couple of raisins.
If she wants cuddling she'll nudge and lick you till she gets it and
recently she's started following us around and circling our feet
everywhere when she's inside. She absolutely loves shredding up
newspaper or toilet roll. A favourite trick of hers is to stand up the
cardboard toilet rolls as well.
She won't sit still on your lap, but she'll quite happily flop over
beside you and nuzzle her head into your hand when she wants to be
stroked.

Here are a few photos of her, in her run on the balcony and settling
down on the end of our bed.

She seems to have settled in very easily and has a good life with lots
of room to hop about and lots of cuddles and attention.

Thank you for the wonderful rabbit =)

Kate and Anthony



OSCAR

                                  

      

 
 
Hi Val
 
I've finally managed to transfer some pictures of Oscar. The 8 week old mini lop boy we got from you in February.
First, I must thank you, ever since we brought him home, he has been nothing but pure entertainment and is adorable.  Anyone who ever said that rabbits are docile and unintelligent animals, obviously never had an Oscar.
 
He is eating well, loves hay, and have just started him on vegetables and fruit.  He has been vaccinated, and continues to treat each day as a new adventure.
He has truly become a son of the family, and is a joy to have.
Hope you get these pictures, although he constantly changes from day to day.....
 
Keep up the good work.
 
Alesha, Phil and of course 'Lord Oscar'



DANDILION

Hello Val,

Not sure if you remember me - my daughter, Maisie and
I came to you last November and took Dandylion ( I
originally was coming to take the 2 baby rabbits,
Dolly and Jade, but fell in love with Dandylion while
we were waiting!!).  Anyway, I promised you a pic and
I have only just got round to buying a digital camera!
Here as promised, is a photo of Dandylion in the
garden.  She loves my cats but unfortunately, they
don't like her!!  So, she spends most days chasing
them!

Hope you are all well.

Sarah and Maisie x

DAISY LEGS AND JESTER

                                

Hi Val,

Got them home without any problems. Daisy immediately went exploring. Jester hardly left the hutch for half an hour, but has had a good run around since.

I managed to get a photo with both of them in it. Now they've been here a couple of hours, they will often settle in the same place, but usually facing away from each other!
Cheers,

Rich



BERT & MARY

 

Hi,

We thought you would like to know that the two mini lops we got from you last week are settling in well.  They have given us hours of entertainment already!  They really are full of character.  We've called them Bert and Mary (from Mary Poppins...!)

 

Bert is definitely the braver of the two and tries everything out before he goes and gets Mary and coaxes her into trying, she is a lot more cautious about everything but gets there in the end!

 

We've attached some photos for you.

 

We hope you and all the other bunnies are well.  We'll keep in touch with updates.

 

Katie & Duncan Rose



FRUMPER
Dear Greenwich Rescue
 
 
 
I have attached pic of him,he has been out from 10.30am -8.40pm....He is out every day, I open his hutch so he can come in and out if and when he wants..
 
Got Timothy hay for him and pigs, to be honest he is not over impressed and appears not to want this any more than the one I got from pet shop..having carrots,cabbage leaves,brocoli,daily, also few pellets and rabbit mix- apple,banana as a treat outside his hutch.
 
I appear to spend more time sitting in the garden with him,hand feeding,watching him - if i sit on floor he comes and rubs himself against me...I tap the floor and say his name and he comes over - SORRY i would imagine you always hear how SURPRISED people are !!!!!
 
Pigs appear to spend most of their time together chattering, do not like exercise have opportunity and they go into their bed !!!!
 
I hope you are ok and keeping well.
 
                                                                        


TINY

                

Hello Val,

Tiny has been with us for 3 weeks now. He was very shy
at the beginning and didn't want to walk on the wooden
floor in the house at all but since our family trip
down to the Isle of Wight the 3 of us are having fun!

He's got the full kitchen to play during the day and
at night, he's very happy to be able to go around the
house and not have to stay in his cage anymore. He's
spending most of his time sitting near to the window
watching the world go by in the garden. Bless him!

He loves sitting on my lap and asks for strokes. This
afternoon he was even sitting on the laptop! I think
he's not so shy after all, he's a little cheeky
rabbit!

Thank you so much again!

Vanessa, Simon and Tiny

(His tummy is ok by the way you were right he had too
many veggies, the vet was a bit worried and worried us
as well but he saw him again on Tuesday this week and
he's fine, thank God! We are going away in May for a
week so we are thinking about taking him to your place
for the week so you can see how he's doing, if that
will be ok?)



COCO

   

 

Hi Val,

I'm happy to let you know that Cocoa has settled in well :)
He is a very friendly and happy little bunny. He enjoy playing on my beanbag and love coming for strokes.
He's free-range, the only problem is we find that he doesn't like being the living room. He would suddenly run away, back to the hallway (carpet) or jumps up to any nearest object when his paws hit the hard wooden floor in the living room.
Now we need to put a large table cloth and some newspapers to cover the the floor, hope he'll master how to walk and run on the wooden floor soon.

He's going to have his first vaccination on Friday morning. I have attached some pictures so you can see how he's getting on.
Thank you so much.

Best Regards,
Luxana



  

Hiya,

 

Spot (now called Herman Eric Spot) has settled in well.  There was no fighting – he just stomped in and made himself at home.  He ate all my rabbit’s food, chewed all her toys, tossed her litter tray upside down and stomped around her ‘bedroom’ – she chased him around a bit and then they both just lay down.  After an hour of silence I went to check and found them snuggled together in a corner with him grooming her!  He seems to adore her, she seems to quite like him – although she’d prefer if he didn’t toss the litter tray all over the place and wee in the corner!  He was quite shy but has come on enormously and is fine being handled.  He will sit on my lap for ages then start burrowing and biting!  He also tries to dig through the sofa when he sits on that too.  I’ll have to keep an eye on him when I let them out when they get their outside run.

 

Haven’t managed too many photos as have been keeping them mainly confined until he learns to use his tray and not play with it!!!!!  They are adorable together and she seems to enjoy the company (but not his voracious appetite!!!).

HEATHER & FLOPSY

                                                  

Hi Val

 

Just a quick follow up to my earlier e mail attached is photo of Heather/Molly James and Suzanne cannot decide on a name and flopsy.  Did you sell the small hutch?  I am thinking about buying the large Hutch you have a using my existing 4ft hutch in the garage this will give the pair of them more room and I can then use the indoor cage to transport in.  How big is the large hutch?  I have a space which is 6ft 2 inches long.  I think the large hutch you had was 6ft long it is would you hold on to it for me and I will collect next week possible Tuesday evening.

I cannot believe how well the pair of them are getting on.

I will give you a call later about the hutch

 

Thank you for help

FLOPSY & TWICKERS

  

Val
Just a quick note to say that we paired up Flopsy with a young male from the rescue centre in Twickenham (hence he's now called Twickers) and they hit it off from the first moment they were put together. Have attached photos so you can see your rabbit is happy with her new mate and enjoying their new home...

FREDDY

   

Freddy in hi new home, center of attention.

 



MERLIN

Dear Val,
 
Just a note to let you know that Merlin seems to have settled in well. We let him out today and he had a good roam around his new surroundings. I think that we're both going to enjoy his company very much.
 
Many thanks for all your help yesterday.
 
Kind regards,
 
Jo

                                          

HE NEVER WOULD PUT HIS HEAD UP FOR A PHOTO  LOL



TODDY
 
Hi Val,
 
As promised a couple of photos of Toady.  We have renamed him 
Freddy.  He has settled in beautifully with Twiggy after pining for 
his old partner Bailey.  They have the occasional chase around but on 
the whole are happy together.  He has a lovely nature and likes to be 
cuddled and stroked which is handy as the children all want to 'have 
a hold'.
 
Thanks again for introducing us to him.  It was lovely to meet you 
again along with all your lovely rabbits and guineas.
 
Love Dee.
 
  


CHARLIE

 

Hi Val -
 
Just to let you know that Charlie has settled in fine.  He is happy for me to pick him up from the cage and is also happy for the boys to cuddle him.  He is more lively today so is obviously getting used to his surroundings.  He is eating and drinking too. 
 
Hope you are not missing him too much !
 
Best wishes,
Tom, Jack and Lorraine


DORRIS

    

Hi Val

just thought I'd let you know how Dorris is getting on; she's settled in
wonderfully, bossing Pete around and even coming to my hand when she's
free-range. She seems really happy and lively - and even gets on with the
dog. As I write, she and Pete are lying squidged together in the same litter
tray, which makes a change from her sitting on Pete.

hope all is going well with the bunnies!
Emma, Pete and Dorris



CHEEKY

  

                                                               

Just a little email to let you know how Cheeky is getting on in his new
home.

He was a little bit nervous after his long car ride across London, so
when I got him back to the flat I let him come out of his carry box in
his own time and explore the hallway. After a little cuddle I introduced
him to his new cage, he must have been relaxed, because he lay down in
it and rolled in the hay! Later on that night he spent some quality time
with his new Daddy (James) and tried to burrow in his hair!

We're litter-training him this month, I've learned he'll do anything for
carrot tops and yoghurt drops, so we're using those to coax him. He is
SO naughty! He always seems to get into trouble when our backs are
turned! He loves running around the flat and laying on the rug in the
lounge watching Deal or No Deal with his Mummy!

We're getting him castrated at the end of the month, because we hope
this'll help reduce the digging and spraying, but we hope he still
retains his naughty streak - that's why we chose him, after all!

Love from Gemma and James(and Cheeky!)



Hello
It's taken me a while but I've finally got around to taking a pic to email.
My bunny was without a name when I collected him but he's now called Cobbie.
He's a happy house rabbit these days and a much-loved member of the family.
I've attached a photo of him at my friends' house with us – I take him
around with me as much as possible.
Thanks so much for recommending Cobs to me. He's a great first housebunny,
very placid and friendly. My friends love coming over to see him and I'm
dead pleased.
Good luck in the future, I may be sending people your way to get their own
wee bunnies.
Love, Jody

                            



Hello,                                                                                          

The Tuesday before Christmas my boyfriend Nik came and
adopted a rabbit as a friend for Wingnut.  I thought
you might like to know how they are getting on and see
some pictures.

They are really getting on and Wingnut seems very
content to have a companion.  They've done some very
cute things but we never manage to get it on camera.                   
I have attached some pics of them together, but
they've looked cuter!

We've still not decided what name would suit the new
boy so we call him all sorts at the moment, Nik calls
him two-stroke because when we first brought him home
two strokes was all he would allow and then he would
run off.  It no longer suits him because he has
settled in so well he is quite affectionate and very
curious to know what we are doing all the time.

Happy new year

Liz

    

                                               



MAGGIE

 

 

Hi Val
Hope all is well?  Thank you so much for all of your help with finiding a girlfriend for Duke!  Maggie is lovely - leading Duke astray slightly as he's always following her lead!!  We tried to put little cat Christmas hats and scarves on them for their Christmas cards but it just wasn't happenning!  Maggie kept pulling her scarf off with her front two paws and Duke's scarf wouldn't even fit around his neck!  Looking forward to being at home with them lots over Christmas and showing them off to everyone.  We'll get those dust pan and brushes off to you in the post ASAP.  Have a very Happy Christmas and I'll send you a card when I've worked out how to do them!
Thanks again,
Sally and Doug xx



ARTHUR

 

 

                                    

Val,
 
Thank you very much for giving us the chance to adopt our beautiful baby, Arthur (formerly Jacob).  We adopted him from you around May 2006 (he was the rabbit that had been there the longest) and he is has brought so much joy into our life.  He is extremely cheeky and is into everything!!!  We took him to the vet recently and he was very impressed with how healthy and cute he is!  His favourite treat is grapes and loves cuddles and chasing our feet!  Thank you once again.  Here are some photos of him as well.
 
Julia.


PETER

                       

Hi Val

Don't know if you remember Pete - the fluffy lionhead crossbreed (I'll
attach a picture). He's getting on very well - he's lazing under the sofa as
I write - and has taken to scaring the dog I have now. I'm still debating
getting another bun for him to live with.



PIPER

                            

ello Val
Attached (hopefully) is a photo taken recently, before I actually put the two bunnies together. They are together now and currently are racing around the house. Piper is still wanting to keep a bit of a distance between herself and Kenny but there is no actual fighting between them. She is losing her excess weight very quickly with the running around!

DUPLO

      

Dear Val

 

You may remember me from 3 weeks ago when i took Rocky (previously Duplo) with me back to my home.  I've attached some photos so you can see how he is getting on.

 

Thank you so so much for Rocky... he is absolutely adorable!!  He was a little shy at first but now he knows and trusts me and he loves coming for a stroke on the head (and for a chunk of a carrot).  I love him to bits!  I felt really bad taking him to the vets to be castrated but he didn't even seem to notice, hehe.  He used his litter tray straight away so that was great.  He's always cleaning himself, its lovely when he pulls his ears round to clean them!  And he's also very curious and likes to stand up on his hind legs and look around at things.

 

Rocky is my first pet rabbit and i am so hooked i am thinking i may be back to see you again in a few months time to get him a girlfriend!

 

You really are a saint for rescuing all those rabbits.. i don't know how so many people can abandon them in the first place, they are such great animals!  You can rest assured that Rocky has gone to a very loving home.

 

Love

Lucy and Rocky!



RED

PIPER

 

Hello Valerie
Just to let you have an update.  Piper is doing very well - she has several
hours of running around Eleanor's room every evening and she is eating a
variety of green foods and carrots with no ill effects at all.  We visited
the vet on Tuesday and he pronounced her in perfect health although she was
very unco-operative when it came to looking at her back teeth!  She is a
little overweight but that will soon drop off her when she starts running
around with Kenny.  We will probably put them together next week and I will
let you know how they get on and I will let you have pictures.

PERCY

SPEEDY

         

Dear Val,

Hope you and all your buns are well. It was so nice visiting when i came
to choose my first bunny.

As promised here are some pics of speedy (now Bobbie - named after his
hilarious bobbing up and down when he checks out a new space). He is
fairly settled now although, we are still working on the litter
training!

His extremely nosy nature had over taken any nervousness he has about
new spaces that he comes across in the flat. He likes being stroked but
still not too keen on being picked up and often whizzies away before you
get a chance to pick him up. He is training us slowly though.

He is a little messy with sawdust when jumping in and out of his bedroom
though he doesnt seem to mind me hoovering up around his cage, in fact
he is really quite interested in the hoover!

Thanks again Val for a lovely bunny, we will keep you posted with his
progress.

Best wishes
Katie & Jon and of course Bobbie
xx
