Dear Diary,
About a month back, I adopted another bunny. I was scrolling Facebook and I came across someone looking to rehome their bunny as they will be migrating. It has been a while since Ouji passed away.
Ouji was only 4 months old when he passed away suddenly. We have no idea why. The only strange thing happened was when he stopped eating and pooping. We wanted to bring him to the vet but it was all too late. One moment he was breathing, the next moment when we were about to leave the house to bring him to the vet, he stopped breathing. We suspected maybe it was a bunny most deadly illness, GI Statics. Something to do with the gut slowing down. His passing didn't come easy, we grived. Please do not judge us for all our actions as we really did our best but there wasnt enough time. I didnt want to blog about it as it was too painful to believe.
So when I saw a bunny was up for adoption, I believe we are ready again to care for one. This time I will be extra extra careful, I told myself. We went down to bring him home and decided to name him Kibo. It means hope. Hope for Ouji.
We brought him to the vet for a full body check up to be sure. He was perfect. Just need to put on a little more weight.
The first few weeks were tough. He bit me, and ran away from me. Stomping his feet so often. I will let him free roam with the girls everyday for at least 2 hours but he will just hid under the sofa. With all the patience and perseverance, noe he learnt to trust me. No more biting, no more stomping. Now he is always following me around at home!
Im so proud of his progression. Having a bunny is also needs high level of responsibility. Many people classify them as small animals and therefore assume not much attention is required and just commit to one. When they realise the heavy commitments, they give it up or neglect.
Bunnies need more attention than dogs actually. I personally feel so. They crave for attention, they love, they feel, they even have a favorite food. They will fall sick, they will show their feelings, they will also need affection. No matter how big or small the animal is, they are all gifted with feelings and the ability to love, just like anyone of us. :)
Love,
