I went hiking with the scout two weeks ago and on the way back Nadia and me went into Carrefour for some much needed supplies for the house. On the way into the store there is a small pet shop and next to the door was a rabbit cage with all the little rabbits up for sale. There must have been 5 or 6 rabbits there but one of them made me laugh as it was the cheekiest little guy on display - it was sleeping on top of all the others and I fell in love with it, but we decided not to get itas we already have a rabbit at home, Mr Buttons.
This last weekend we went shopping and again we went to Carrefour and the same little guy was still in the shop. Again, he was being cheeky and mischievous to the other rabbits and after some talking while we did some shopping; we decided to go and buy him.
We took him home to meet Buttons (who is about five times bigger); at first the little one was a bit scared of the new place and of Buttons as he was trying to be the boss of the two. But yesterday we had a breakthrough as Buttons did not pick a fight with Pretzel and also Buttons started to lie down on the floor when the little guy was next to him which is a good sign - Buttons seems to be happy that Pretzel is in the house.
Nadia is also in love with little Pretzel as he stays perfectly still when you pick him up and also lies still when you give him a hug or a cuddle, unlike Buttons who tries to get away from you by kicking and scratching. Buttons is now a reformed rabbit too, though - he is much calmer around the little one, I am not sure if it is that he feels old around the newbunny, who knows.
