Hipity Hopity Bibidy Bobidy Boo!

SQUEEEEEEEE!

This little bunny came into foster care with us on the weekend; after being found on a busy road, and is now a permanent member of our family. BIG SURPRISE! It is the snuggliest bunny in the WHOLE world and Geri is over the MOON to be its new Mamma!

This week he/she (I've not identified its sex yet, I'll leave that to the vet LOL) will be having a dental - due to VERY neglected/overgrown teeth, and will be desexed, microchipped and vaccinated. Hopefully once the teeth are sorted this little one will be able to eat more efficiently and will gain some weight as it is FAR too skinny.

On my recommendation, the bunny has been withdrawn from the Rescue group’s listing as I am not impressed with the neglect evidenced by the state of its teeth and as far as I’m concerned the original owners don’t deserve to have it back. However, I have checked on the web for lost rabbit listings and the bunny doesn't appear anywhere, so my conscience is completely clear.

A spare hoggie hutch and pre release pen are currently providing  night time lockup and day time playpen accommodation for this yet to be named bunny, but I’ll be sorting out its own hutch and day pen ASAP as I have Miss Tiggy Hog (who will be released with Yoda) coming into pre release care soon.

  1. This is exciting! Adorable bunny :-) A wise woman once told me that bunnies dhoe up to bring us courage. This time sounds like you are the courageous one going to the mat for the bunny. You two will be a formidable team once he/she is all healed and feeling better under your care :-)
