Fudge - My short-term pet!

A story for animal lovers! -

On Tuesday evening I found this beautiful animal hopping around a front garden near my house. It was very late but I knew she wasn't a house rabbit. She'd ran away from her home.
It took myself and my father around half an hour to catch her. We were so scared she was going to get run over. Eventually we caught  her and took her home, she was left in my garden overnight.

I thought it would be easy to find her owner. However after an hour and forty minutes knocking on doors in my local area I had no luck! Nobody knew who she belonged too or didn't answer their door.
I started to believe we'd get to keep her. We called her "Fudge" because we were sick of calling her "the rabbit" or "fluffy". I adored her. I have 2 little brothers and a little sister who did too!


My mother went and bought her food, hay and a water bottle and I borrowed a hutch/run off my friend to keep Fudge safe and happy. We didn't know how long she would be with us for. It was so lovely watching her hop around our garden and playing with her. I was too scared to pick her up though!!

Isn't she cute? I really enjoyed looking after her and playing with her.

However myself and my mother had uploaded a picture of her on Facebook and stated she was a missing rabbit and I was absolutely distraught when my uncle said he knew the owner. I contacted her but she's in Florida.. I'm very jealous.. She lucky to be there and own Fudge! Her parents came to pick up the rabbit around 9pm on Wednesday evening.

 It was delightful to see how happy they were to have her back and learn about how loved Fudge, whose actually called Bluebell, is. I know she's only a rabbit but we got so attached her and have no pets, I'm was sad when she left! I will be getting a rabbit over the next few weeks :)


I hope this post wasn't too boring. Just felt like doing a little life post about this. Thank-you for reading xx

  7. Hiya :)

    If you need any advice on rabbits, you know where to come! Haha. They're really not as easy to care for as everyone thinks... they're much happier in pairs/groups, they need to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and have unlimited hay. Also, carrots aren't that great for them, too sugary! :)

    Lecture over :') Fudge is lovely xx

  8. Awwh. At least little Fudge/Bluebell got to go back to her family.
    I wish things like that happened to me; I would love to own a rabbit, even if it's only for a short while. :)
