My boyfriend and I got an apartment, and one of the first things we had discussed were pets, since our apartment "technically" didn't allow pets (although many tenants have cats and a few dogs) we figured we might be able to have some sort of small animal. We were trying to decide between a rat and a bunny, so we went all around to the pet stores.
We tried a few feed stores that usually carried them but since the bunnies hadn't been selling well they stopped. Petco and Petsmart had the same outcome. Finally we went to a local pet store that had two full grown rabbits. Two problems; a) I wanted a baby since it was my first rabbit, so I wanted one I would be able to handle. and b) they wanted waaay too much for them. We were about to settle for a rat when I thought to try one last feed/country store, and they had babies for a very cheap price. When we got there my boyfriend picked up a TINY little black fuzzball and said 'this is the one'.

Right after getting her I read everything I could about rabbits. Took her to the vet where she was originally thought to be a boy but that was cleared up later on at another appointment. Now she has more toys than she cares to play with and just about everything a house bunny could ask for!

-side note- I fully support rescue organizations and would have loved to get a bunny from there but we do not have any near our town [/i]

I'll definitely have more bunnies in the future. They're so adorable and fun! My bf had several before we met and he still really misses his last one, Nola. He loved that bunny more than anything and he took it pretty hard when she passed. Zuul looks so much like his old bunny that he's almost called her Nola, and sometimes he gets upset because he wishes she could be here where he knows she would have been happier. We kinda like to think she IS back in a way.

Welcome to the SmallAnimalChannel forum and for sharing your story about you and your new bunny. Do you have any photos yet that you can share of her?
