A Scottish Rabbit

[feewishart]

Dear All

I have been reading you emails on the rabbit forum for a few weeks nowand I guessI am the only person from Scotland here?Its really interesting reading everyones opinions andstories. Ive kept rabbits as pets all my life and I adorethem. This is one of my rabbits called "chestnut" she hasjust had surgery to remove a tumor from her dewlap. As youcan see she is not very happy in this picture. She is doingmuch better now and we are just waiting for the lab results from thevets. Fingers crossed shes going to be fine.

Oops. I just noticed it says Glasgow on your location.

Hubby was in Gourock (don't know if I've spelled that right).

I hope Chestnut gets well soon. What a lovelybun, It's so horrid to see them with their fur all trimmed away after avisit to the vet. I'm down in Cornwall and so I will be sending my goodwishes northwards on the prevailing wind! GET WELL SOON.

Welcome! My husband is partiallyScottish and is a bagpiper. My daughter highlanddances. One of our rabbits is named Whisky. We loveyour country.

Are there any scottish breeds of rabbits? Like the border collie is for dogs? I'd love a border bunny!

Welcome aboard! Chesnut seems to be a"chubby" bunny, if I ever saw one! Hope her recovery is quickand total.

Hi Feewishart

I'm not sure if there are anymore Scottish members here. Ithink mainly American, and Canadian people but the amount of Britishhere are slowly catching up. Anyway, rabbit advice is goodadvice no matter what part of the world it comes from and there aresome amazing rabbit experts who visit this site.

Your baby Chestnut looks similar in colouring and breeding to my Benjamin. Hope she is starting to feel better.

Northern Dancer

Its good to know there are other Scottish folk here, although i love tohear how other rabbit owners keep their bunnies in differentcountrys. Good names you have got for your rabbits, Flora andNorthern Dancer. Mines are called Chestnut and Mushroom.

Yes i guess you are right that Chestnut is a bit "chubby". She has a25ft run which we turfed last summer. The run has adog kennel to shelter in from the rain, 2 tunnels which herpalmushroom dug( 5ft long), Wicker tunnels and fruit bushesto hide amongst. She still prefers to lounge in the sunshinewith her back legs sprawled out. She was pretty large when werescued her although she still manages to do "blinkeys" everyday. Fat and happy.

Thanks for asking after chestnut. She is fine now and the vetgave her the all clear today. The lump was non malignant andshes going to be fine. Cornwall is the most beautiful placein the UK south of the scottish border.
