We got a new rabbit today. A very lovely, light brown/white/black tri-coloured male rabbit.
But the place we got him from... Let's just say that it is not very hygienic or healthy in any way.
So when we got him today, he was covered in feces, urine and God-knows-what-else. Zzz. His name's Russell btw.
So I brushed him and all, (and his fur became much softer and smoother, and less sticky and stringy) but I still need to get him a bowl and something to give him water... And it seems I need some fences too. Two rabbits in a cage is a very bad idea... Especially if one is male and the other female.
But the first encounter between Lassie and Russell was hell funny!! Cause while Russell grew up among male and female rabbits, Lassie only had herself. So she's never seen or smelled a male rabbit before.
Haha! So when Lassie first met Russell, she was very curious. But also very shy. Haha! It was so funny!!! Cause Lassie has always been the little spoilt princess in her little world. So for her to suddenly seem so uncertain and shy about something like a male rabbit, it just sets my mom and I into laughter.
Haha! Seriously, they were sooo cute! But I need to go to the vet to check Russell out... And preferrably neut him as well... I can't deal with having so many baby bunnies around, cause there will be no one to look after them...
XD They're situation really fits the song "Uptown Girl" now. Hahahahaha! Lassie, the uptown girl, meets Russell, the downtown boy. But I won't allow them to get together. Mwhahaha!
But so far, they're dealing ok. I think, since Russell lived in a really small cage with lots of other rabbits... By letting him run as much as he wants in the backyard made him get used to the place real quick. ~_^ Helps to have pretty Lassie as an incentive to relax. Though, typical animals, they're still sort of wary of each other.
But they're getting along well... I was afraid it would be like Kim and Tabby... Two dogs trying to tear each other's necks out is not a good start to a relationship... But Lassie and Russell are not so fierce... Maybe cause they're rabbits... =/
