Maspenock Rabbit Rescue

[ayglnu13]

Hello! I figuredsince other people had a thread for their Rabbit Rescue I figured Icould! :sunshine:



I only have one bunny up for adoptionright now, as the others already have been adopted



This is Cita....

I am guessing she isa French Lopor an overweight Mini :shock:They told me she was a "dwarflop" :shock2:I DONT THINK SO! She has got to weigh at least 6lbs...probably 7!

She is very sweet but is a little nervous,as most people/animals would be when they have come to a newplace.

This picture shows her real color (below)

If any one lives in MA and is interestedin adopting a really sweet "little" bunny PM me

She's actually an ok weight for a mini if she's6 or 7 lbs. (Unless she seems obese.) My mini isabout 7.5 lbs, I too was thinking he had some French Lop in him, butapparently they are considered mini if they are under 11 lbs, or rightaround there. (Ihonestly can'trememberexactly where I got that number, but whenIposted wondering if Sage had French in him,Pamsaid that at 7.5 lbs he was definitely a mini and he needs to gainsomeweight. LOL)

She's a beautiful girl!! I just looked at her again, you'reright, she could use to lose some weight.LOL

You should haveseen what they brought with her! Atleast 6 bags of opened treats andanother 5 bags of unopened treats! :shock:Her food isnt veryhealthy either, it has lots of colorful things in it, I dont even knowwhat they are.

My friend has a mini lop and it isnt thatbig, maybe 1 or 2 lbs heavier then a Holland...and this rabbit is BIG!If she is a mini she is the biggest one I have ever seen!:shock:

I felt really bad though, the guy whobrought her was almost crying when he left Poorguy.

Oh, poor girl! She just needs a better diet.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to surrender any of mybuns. I do feel for that man. Unfortunately so manypeople don't know what to feed their rabbits and often pet storesaren't any help. I over heard someone asking a saleswoman atPetsMart what to feed the baby Netherland Dwarfs she was getting andthe saleswoman recommended Kaytee Fiesta. I just had to setthe woman straight and make sure she got a better food. Shebasically ended up putting back everything the saleswoman told her toget and getting what I said. LOL

That is EXACTLY what they were feeding her! Plus 7 different Katee treats :disgust:

I am going to be switching her food soon,but I don't want to stress her out on her first day here. I'll give hera day or two and then gradually switch the food. I am also going to cutout all treats and such :?just so much food lyingaround!

This is what Bell was being fed when I got her. Then I changed her foodand she almost starved refusing to eat what I was giving her (though Iconfese that it was not the best for her anyways it was Domor). Finallyshe got what she want and went right to eating. How should I switch herover to the other stuff. She will not eat it and refuses to do anythingbut throw it out of her food bowl!

 

[CorkysMom]

Try gradually switching her over, slowly puttingmore and more of what you want her to eat in there.....Corky had pelletparties with a kind he didn't like too! He'd throw it ALL over theroom! Ya gotta love it!

 

[brimmhere]

oh man what a pretty girl~~ i hope she is able to find a wonderful family soon!

 

[bunnylover78642]

Your rabbit is very beautifull! Tell us when youfind a good home for her. She looks like a castor broken coloring. Isthat right? That is what my rabbit is but she is not a lop.

 

[FrenchLopGirl1280]

She is a Broken Chestnut Agouti, She looks like a small French Lop

 

[ayglnu13]

She HAS to be a French...she is HUGE! Myestimate of 6 lbs was wrong...I am going for atleast 8 to 10 lbs. Sheis atleast 3 times the size of my Hollands :shock:

She is SUCHA sweetie, she has already come over to me and let me pet her head

~Amy

 

[samandshawn]

why don't you weigh her? I don't think she is a frenchie unless she is a cross.

 

[ayglnu13]

My scale that I gotonly goes up to 6 lbs and when I tried to weigh her it was like*ERRRROR* So I am going to have to find someone who has a larger scale.

Ha cant you see my sneaking her into likethe supermarket or something and sticking her on one of their bighanging scales! HA that would be sofunny





~Amy

 

[samandshawn]

LOL. Do you have bathroom scales?

 

[ayglnu13]

Ya but it is reallywacked.....one day you could be like 99llbs and the next day your500lbs, I dont know if it has everworked

~Amy

 

[samandshawn]

ahh coz its a good why to weigh buns you could get on first to see your weight then get on with the bun

 

[ayglnu13]

Ya I thought ofthat, but since it isnt accurate it wouldnt make much senseI tried doing that with Nimue and it told me that heweighed 7 lbs....ya right!

~Amy

 

[bunnylover78642]

I have the same problem with scales!! One day Iwill be like 190 lbs. and the next day be around 80 lbs. I know what myreal wight is because of the doctors but I don't trust itwith my bunnies!

 

[ayglnu13]

Here are some much nicer looking pictures! The other ones looked too caged :disgust:

And here is "Sweet Pea" (that is what I call her) shredding my backdrop!
