Petshops are why primrose has had a sad start in life. At least with her she is neutered so is much easier to bond and you save money/hassle, shes vacc'd too. You also know her personality as its in the rescues best interest to makesure they get the best home, its in the petshops interest to make money out of these poor buns.

Trust me she will be so worth the wait and the great feeling you get from rescuing a bun thats had this kind of start is amazing!

An old man walking on the beach at dawn noticed a boy picking up a starfish and throwing it into the sea. When asked why, the boy explained that the stranded starfish would die if left to lie in the morning sun. ‘But there are millions of starfish on this beach' said the old man. ‘How can your efforts make a difference?’The boy picked up another starfish and placed it in the waves. ‘It makes a difference to this one.' he said

I know it will be a million times better and worth it, I am just impatient I guess! My friend has spoken to her anyway, he has got to send her some I.D then we have to send her pictures of our flat and he has to fill out a checklist to make sure everything is ok, then hopefully we will be able to take ours to bond them! I was hoping we could do that this week but we will have to see.

Oh thats great!!! Im so excited!!! And its not even me! haha

I have emailed her this morning with lots of pictures of our flat and answers to all the questions she asked about where they will be staying, what they will be fed etc.
I had to tell her that we wouldn't be able to take our rabbit and leave him with her for 3 days while they bond - we decided that it would be just too far and too stressfull for our rabbit to do this, he would hate being in the car for that amount of time and hates being in a cage. I have asked that we can just collect her and bond her with him at our home, we will have lots of help from my friend that works at the British Wildlife Centre - he has done this for rabbits and other animals many times and assured her of this when he spoke to her on the phone yesterday.
To be honest I was suprised that she wanted to do this as it was first suggested that someone help us with a bunny-run in order to get her - surely this would mean that we wouldn't have to take our rabbit to her in the first place?
I am confused and a little worried, I do want this bunny but she is far away from us, we are happy to go and get her but don't feel like we can take ours there as it wouldn't be fair, I hope she still lets us have her.

I think if they can they like to see if the buns get on and makesure they bond but think thats an ideal thing. Obviously if you had a bunnyrun you wouldnt be able to do that. Im sure it wont be a problem i understand you not wanting to take him there. fingers and toes crossed!

She has just replied and said that we have to take our rabbit to her, I am really sad but don't feel like that's something we can do. I am very upset as I was getting attached to Primrose from looking at pictures of her, I was even trying to get my rabbit to look at the pictures of her!
I guess we will have to try and find another centre closer to us, I think I will give the one in Coulsdon a try. Here is what she has written

I do not feel comfortable as of yet letting other people bond the rabbits.
Primrose herself is not a good traveller, this is well known and was told to me when brought here but it will be a one off trip. Primrose will have to adjust to a new environment too. As Charlie is used to the run of the house, your house will not be neutral territory to him and therefore you would need to do it in a different house. If it would make you feel better, i would allow him 12 hours a day garden access as do my own buns, until its dark that way he will be outside all day and allowed to run in the house after until i go to bed. (i get up 5am and go to bed 10:30pm)

Is a long journey and a few days away from home anything compared to having a wifeybun for life?

I do not like the idea as if something happens i will not be there to sort it. If there was a scrap and Prim had to go to an emergency vets, would you be willing to pay the bill? (which can run into the hundreds depending on injuries) At least if they are here it is under my control. I hope you can see where i am coming from.

Ok i think you'll find shes come round to the idea, she adores her buns and works so hard rescuing them, she wants to makesure they have the perfect home. I have spoken to her and think shes going to agree. I will pm you my number so when you get her if theres anything you're worried about and need someone else to help i can do my best

Bonding bunnies is a fine art and pretty scary!! Hopefully they'll just fall in love
