Aloh Mayla's Babies

Finding homes....


 

Here we tell the tale of where those first dear little buns ended up.

Some of you, who have also received such surprise blessings, may take heart.

 

Where the landed...

 

some left....

 

The smallest black bunny, who we thought was too plain to get chosen, was adopted by a wonderful family that wanted her to be a companion to their little black lop-eared bunny.

 

Piglet, the pudgiest and most dominant female, was adopted along with Rusty, by a family who wanted to raise a herd of their own.

 

 

Piglet

 

Rooh-Rooh (Piglet's twin) and the orally curious Nibbles (Spot's twin) were adopted by my friends Kriss and Phillip. We have visitation rights.

 

Rosie

 

Rosie, one of the most friendly and intelligent of the bunnies, was clever enough to find her own home. She ran away and adopted a neighbor family. We were quite worried about her, and were glad to find out where she'd ended up. It turns out, she was pregnant when she left. Ooops. The neighbors were very busy finding homes for the babies. We know how that is...

 

 

And some Stayed....

 

The medium-sized black bunny, now called Velvet, still lives with us. She is gentle and fairly timid. She has escaped a number of times, sometimes staying away days at a time. For this reason the other female bunnies reject her and chase her ("You smell like a stranger!") -- no doubt giving her more reason to run away. She was just moved into a cage, after a savage attack by Flopsy. The cage adjoins the cage occupied by Freckles (Flopsy's brother). Freckles and Velvet are seriously in love and can often be found kissing noses through the cage bars and making funny little sounds to each other.

 

 

Night, the largest black bunny, is still with us. He is the most aggressive of our male bunnies and must be kept well away from all other males -- he has drawn blood a few times.

Celeste -- she who ran away and was chased by a neighbor cat (by which we learned that scared bunnies squealed like pigs) and was found far away, hunkered down in the grass by the duck pond -- is still with us as well. We think she had babies recently (well, someone did!) but abandoned them.

And finally, there is Spot. We were sure someone would adopt Spot. He is beautiful, gentle, affectionate. But he is with us yet. He keeps himself busy by digging all the food out of his dish. It is fairly annoying, as the food mostly gets wasted.

Final Tally: 6 found other homes, 3 stayed with us.

Cinnabun's Babies

 

 

 

As with Aloh Mayla's babies, some left....

Domino was adopted by a kindergarten teacher in Los Gatos, and is now the class bunny.

 

Rusty went with Piglet, to the new bunny farm.

Tiger was adopted by a young woman who wanted a suitable pet to share with her boyfriend.

And a fourth little bunny was adopted by a family from the countryside who had a large backyard and plans to build a big bunny run.

 

And some Stayed....

 

Freckles still lives with us. He is a sweetie! And he is madly in love with Velvet Bunny -- and she with him. We plan to have him neutered so they can live in the same pen together.

Flopsy stayed with us. She is also known as "Hamster Bunny" because of her broad face, which looks ...well... like a hamster's. She has now had her own little babies -- Scamp and Olivia.

 

Final tally: 4 found other homes, 2 stayed with us.

Please note that this information is now part of our retrospective.   We don't still have the little guys mentioned above.  (But we still remember all the fun and love they shared with us!)
