When we first found him he was in a hutch with 3 other bunnies all rescued from an auction where they would have gone to reptile breeders, one looked like a normal white spotted bunny and the other was a copper coloured Rex and of course then there was Speedy a little 16 week old Himalayan Rex with his dark chocolate brown ears,nose,toes and tail with a pure brilliant white coat that was the softest velvet like fur I had ever touched as was the copper Rex.Both Rex's were brave and curious about us But Speedy was a little bit braver,you could tell he just wasn't afraid of anything he even start to tooth pur when I held him so after we when back out to the car we discussed him as to him coming home with us well we did bring him home and that was when the Craziness that is Speedy started.
Speedy when we first brought him home |
and this.
And then there is play time when he really shows his true character,to get you attention to play with him he will act all crazy and all you can do laugh!Even when he bites the carpet you still have to laugh,though most times when he does this he will look up at you then at the carpet then back at you before he goes munch,and you still can't be mad because you know he's going to do it but it just looks so cheeky.
And when Speedy was about a year old he was diagnosed with glaucoma even that never slowed him down or stopped him have fun that was until he got the ulcer on the eye and only then did it slow him down but only a little,so we made the choice to have it removed when it wasn't healing and didn't he bounce back quick from that.
And so he is back to his normal crazy cheeky demanding Self who we wouldn't have any other way!
Oh my, now this is the way I love to spend my free time....watching my little SPEED BUMP do his shenanigans! I am laughing so hard as I watch every single video here; Speedster, you live up to your name! YOU ARE SO FAST! WOW! Mummy has her hands full, and am I ever glad she rescued you from the grips of those reptile breeders! YIKES!
ReplyDeleteKeep on speeding my little one....you make many of us so happy, and may I say, I love the way you roll! HEHEHEHEHEHHE

DeleteGreat story :) I don't think I have heard the story of how you rescued him before? It was great to read about how Speedy came about!

Salut from Canada :)
DeleteCats and bunnies actually can get along, you just have to make sure the bunny will grow as big as the kitties (So a medium or giant size breed is good) and introduce the bunny as the boss. (e.g. MOM will believe the bunny over the cat on who started it. :) )
Speedy looks smaller in photo than he probably is. I'd say he's probably the size of a small cat. Maybe Speedy can enlighten us.
The House Rabbit Society has a good page : http://www.rabbit.org/journal/2-11/cats-and-rabbits.html
Hi Lorna,Speedy is a tiny bit over 4 kg which is why he is on a diet as he is a little over weight,but he is the biggest bun we have had so far and has quite a long body,he is heavier than most cats so I would say he is a medium side bunny,about the size of a medium side cat.plus bunnies can be quite tough when it comes to cats,My first bun used to chase cats out of the garden,xx Rachel
DeleteSeems that Speedy is .. a big one.
DeleteMy little blue Aby is just 3,4 kg.
Nat à Chat
hello Nat a chat,she is gorgeous,there are some bunny breeds that are even bigger by quite a bit,but you would need a lot of room for those,xx Rachel
DeleteI love it when Speedy lies on his back. Too adorable for words.
ReplyDeleteI know,so cute,xx Rachel
DeleteI would love to do zoomies with you Speedy!
ReplyDeletehehehe that would be so much fun Misaki,xx Speedy
DeleteMOL, Speedy sleeps like a cat!
ReplyDeleteHahaha sometimes,xx Rachel
DeleteRachel, I am sorry that it has come to this, but step away from the rabbit and nobody will get hurt. I am such a rotten person. I am coveting your bunny. I am despicable, but he is sooooo cute. What am I going to do with myself? It is a good thing you are such a perfect bunny Mum and friend. It keeps me from acting on desperate impulses. Love you all, AJ
ReplyDeleteHahaha Jane,don't worry everybody wants Speedy and who can blame them,we're just lucy he is our Baby boy!love Rachel
DeleteOh Speedy! What a fun filled nearly 2 years you’ve had. What haven’t you done? Looking forward to seeing what fun you have on your Gotcha Day. Take care little buddy!
