We just brought home the girl bun I had asked about earlier - she has a few issues from her original owner I am unsure about the complications from.
1) Her whiskers were cut. It looks like someone decided they were too long and trimmed them short in spots and they are long in others, all raggedy like a woman who took a knife to her hair and left it uneven... can see where the scissors snipped the ends. What effect will this have on her? I know cats get unbalanced/bang into things if people mess with their whiskers. Also, her eye whiskers are curled over several times and half-broken (looks a bit like when you snap a stem of grass). Do rabbits get curled whiskers like that?
2) She has sticker glue all over her fur. Is there anything I can do to wash this off, or do I need to shave her and let her grow her fur back? She's calm enough I think she'd let me wash her with a rag, but I can't think of anything safe to use to dissolve glue from hair.
3) She seems young, but I have no idea on her age. The lady was feeding her alfalfa and using wood shavings for bedding, just because she didn't know any better. But I think she might be still developing... should I feed her alfalfa or timothy? Or a mix of both? There is a picture of her in my blog.
