After we'd known our little bunny, Fern, for a few months it became apparent she wasn't going to be a quiet little house bunny.  No, Fern wanted to live outside and she made sure we knew it.  We had hoped that as a house bunny Fern would be happy with our company, but outside in the garden we were worried she would be lonely.  So, along came Fawn.

At first Fawn appeared to be a quiet, unassuming little chap, the complete opposite of Fern, but as we got to know him we found out what a handful he can be.

Unfortunately Fern and Fawn are not very impressed with each other.  There is no real fighting between the pair, but Fawn stomps his feet when Fern goes near him and the runs away, which prompts Fern to chase him.

After many failed introductions, which resulted in Fawn getting stressed and Fern getting grumpy, we resigned ourselves to the fact we now had two single bunnies.  Fortunately Fawn is very happy being a house bunny, in a way that Fern never was, in fact whenever we have tried to introduce him to the outside world he lets us know, in no uncertain terms, that he doesn't like it!

Fawn now lives in our huge indoor bunny cage, which was originally bought for Fern, but she doesn't like it, and has free run of the upstairs of our home.  He also has lots of bunny toys and tunnels to keep him entertained when we aren't playing with him.  His favourite place is sitting under Derek's desk while he is working at his computer and luckily for Fawn Derek works from home, so they get to spend plenty of time together.  Every now and again Derek will be reminded of Fawn's presence by a gentle nudge to his feet.

Everyday Fawn's confidence is growing and he becomes more adventurous with his surroundings and us.  At the moment he seems very interested in the stairs, or rather where we go to.  We are hoping he will learn to use them by himself and then he can have the run of the whole house.  Who knows what kind of mischief he'll get up to then.  Thankfully he is very well behaved, and like most bunnies was easily toilet trained, plus he resists the temptation to go round nibbling everything.
