Dear Diary,
I have recently adopted another bunny. Yes, another fur baby in the family.
I was scrolling Facebook and came across this bunny that caught my eye. It was love at first sight. But she had a lot of queries from a lot of people. So I was thinking, i wouldn't have the chance. I didn't thought about her until one week later I noticed that she and 3 other female bunnies were still up for adoption. I pm-ed the contact person asking for another female bunny (thinking that the one i liked might be adopted already). End up, she told me that she was still available for adoption!
She was known on social media as Scarlet. There was an arrangement to go down for viewing with other potential adopters on a weekend. Unfortunately I was not able to make it as I had other commitment. Again, I was hopeless and told Bumver daddy that if she is adopted then I will wish her well. If she is not yet adopted, this will be fate. Who knows, the foster lady texted me and told me that she is still up for adoption and there was no successful adopters that day. I was surprised and thrilled and arranged to go down the next day. I brought Kibo boy along to see if they get along. I had so much confident that Kibo will do well.
When we arrived, I see the beautiful bunny, waiting for me! I let Kibo out to interact with her. He is not shy at all! They can get along but Kibo is too friendly for his own good. HAHA.
The session went well and we passed! Scarlet was allowed to come home with me for trail stay! I was so sure she will have a lot of fun at our place. The foster lady told me that she was a rescued bunny and had been through a lot of ups and downs, changing home a few times and the previous owner mishandled her as she lost her bottom 2 front teeth. So monthly vet visit will be the commitment to clip her teeth shorter. Poor baby, the amount of stress that was put through. She must be a very tough bunny.
When i brought her home, i set up her cage area and introduced her 2 sisters, Bumbie and Clover. At first she was unsure and was a little feisty. I tried my best to show her what i can give her and the environment here. To see her grow and adapt into our environment within a week, was one of my biggest achievements. she opened up to me and stopped snapping at me. She even looked forward for me to come home and wake up in the morning to play with her and give her more head rubs.
I knew i will not send her back and I had committed to take care of her and love her for her remaining life. She is still quite young so i believe we will have so much fun together.
I had fun learning more about her each day. Her character is so sweet and gentle. She often get angry at small little things but she will just stomp her feet so hard. She likes to visit Kibo in his cage but again, Kibo is too friendly he is all over her. Every night i will remind her that i will love her and this is her forever home. She can rest assure that this is her home. Wherever we go, we will go together as a family. Her new name is now Mabuyi.
I would like to thank Clarinda for giving me the opportunity for the adoption and Edna for fostering Mabuyi back to health. Thank you to those who were involved in her rescue and those who reached out and contributed to her rescue. Thanks all for trusting her life to me. The rest of her journey, i will take over from here and will give her the best that i can like how i gave to the rest of my furbabies.
She will be a happy bunny because she is now part of our Bumver Family.
In my opinion, adoption is a very noble thing to do. For every adoption is a life saved. There are many lives that are waiting to be saved. But how many can we save? As much as we want to try our best to save all these voiceless animals, most importantly is to stay committed to your responsibilities to them. All these babies have already stories written, fears and wounds inflicted. We need a lot of patience to bring back their confidence. Please do not try to change them but to love them for who they are. As for shopping for furbabies, its not that its not noble, you still mean the whole to your furbabies. For every baby you adopt is not going to stop people from breeding animals for money making purposes (its sad i know). So no matter where you get your babies from, treasure them, nurture them and love them.
Bumver Family:
Eldest: Bumbie the Chihuahua (my little princess)
Second eldest: Clover the Chihuahua (my little Alpha)
Third eldest (newest member): Mabuyi the Lion Loop (my little mini boss)
Fourth Eldest: Hugo the Guinea Pig (my noisy pig)
Youngest: Kibo the Netherlands drawf (my super duper naughty boy)
As hamsters have the shortest life of just 3 years, i have no idea how to rank them. Technically in percentage, they are the oldest but both are about a year old plus.
Zorro the Syrian Hamster (my fat boy)
Gomu the Roborovski Hamster (my scary cat)
