Early Easter

Easter's arrived early at Tatum Hills, with Snowy Bunny joining the family.

Surrendered by her family to the RSPCA, poor Snowy ended up spending 6 months there!

Snowy gets the first glimpse of her new home

Snowy's temporary pen

Though she was much loved and very well looked after at the shelter, she deserved a proper home so she came with us on a very wet day.

We would like her to eventually have the run of the whole orchard pen, but while she gets used to the new place, to us and the chookies, she only has a restricted area.

As she is our first ever rabbit we didn't know what to expect but she seems a pretty chilled out bunny who takes it all in her stride. She seems always happy to come over for a sniff and as she settles in she seems to also enjoy a pat.

Snowy meets the neighbours

We were told she doesn't like other bunnies but doesn't mind Guinea pigs..we may soon get her some company...

This morning, her first with us, Snowy was quite relaxed and looking at expanding her range by hopping out the window... If she doesn't today, she'll be moved into a large corner of the big pen tomorrow! If she does get out of her cubby, that's OK too as it is in the middle of the big pen so still a safe place for an inquisitive bunny!

Snowy's already learned to open the windows...

UPDATE: 2 days on and Snowy moves to her new enclosure, still needing some shade cloth up above, but she seems pretty happy anyway, hop on Snowy!
