Eric and Butters

Eric and Butters

These little guys have settled in really well and have received so much attention and socialisation that I’m hoping they’ll make fine therapy bunnies. Viktoria, who recently relocated her private practice (Lemon Tree Therapy) to Cabelo, has already used Eric in a couple of interventions and he has done really well.

Eric is the more traditional looking rabbit and Butters has the white patches on this head. They absolutely adore each other and it’s really cute to see them interact. If rabbits laid eggs, I think they would make the perfect pet!

Mr Nibbles in Lockdown

Mr Nibbles in Lockdown

So life has changed pretty dramatically over the past year, with the salon shut far more than it’s been open. Mr Nibbles stayed in the garden for some weeks, but he just wasn’t getting the company he deserved and eventually I bought him home with me. For 2 months he lived happily outside but then started to come inside for longer and longer until he started to get crosser and crosser about being returned to his hutch overnight. So he moved indoors permanently. And somewhere along the line became a dog.

I promise you, this is a very unusual sight for a prey animal; a bunny sleeping so soundly he doesn’t even realise he’s been approached and photographed. Otherwise, I imagine he would have taken the time to tidy up his hair.
