Benjamin and Gumdrop




I am thrilled to announce that the two rabbits Benjamin and Gumdrop are now home, together! :) They both arrived to us at different times. Benjamin came to us in February of 2008, his owner became disabled and was unable to care for him anymore. He arrived a very scared and skittish bunny, he seemed scared of his own shadow. Even after time and quiet he still remained nervous. Gumdrop arrived in March, she came to us as a little baby. She was brought with her siblings and Mom. After Gumdrop and Benjamin were spayed and neutered they then went into foster care. A vet tech at the animal hospital we go to wanted to help out by fostering bunnies for us. She decided to introduce Benjamin and Gumdrop to each other, and they were a bonded pair in no time. In fact, Since Benjamin made a friend he became more confident and outgoing. Their foster Mom was leaving to go to Cornell to further her education as a vet tech so she brought back the duo. They were two different bunnies, Their foster Mom must have lavished time and attention on them because they were so mellow and loved to be petted, such a change. Makes me have to say again, I Love Foster parents !:) The day came when their new Mom called us saying she was thrilled to find out we had such an adorable bonded pair. She was looking for two rabbits just like them that lived together. She fawned over Benjamin's velvety rex fur, I don't blame her, it's very soft. I am so happy they have a great Mom now and each other. What a happy ending, I love it.
