Dusty

I expect some of you remember our rabbit Dusty who sadly lost her beloved Jasper at the end of October 2009. Since then we have tried unsuccessfully to bond her with a little rabbit called Guinness and on this occasion the friendship has not blossomed. Dusty and Guinness, over the Christmas period been staying with our friends, Darren & Teresa in the hope that on neutral territory the bond would indeed be sealed. As it was not to be Dusty has now come home to us and little Guinness is going to remain with them, being fostered until we can have him back at Watership Down. Its hard keeping individual rabbits and sometimes unfair, especially if they live outdoors. Guinness is having a fantastic time, running around their house and having plenty of attention so we are not worried about him. Dusty is getting used to living in an indoor cage again although she does come out to play and exercise in our kitchen area for a few hours each day. We would ideally like to find her a house home where she could be loved and have the freedom she is used to. Last night it was quite strange when Valentino went to say hello, she even had a boxing match with him, so we just assume that there was only one rabbit for her and he has gone.
