Nummy
Well-Known Member
:happyrabbit:Well for starters I have always wanted to have a rabbit for a pet. I had not been looking to get one the time when Nummy and I found eachother. It was one fateful day at the vet office. I was acompanying my mother who was having a pet looked after, when a young man came through the doors with a rabbit in a box. I was listening to the man explain Nummy's situation and the reason for his visit. It didn't sound good.
Nummy was left out in the cold before someone had got to him :shock:, that and he had ear mites that covered both his ears. His eyes were bulging out of his head and he looked so stressed out. The man had told the vet that the rabbit did not belong to him and he could not care for him. I believe that it was because I had run a rescue with my mother, that the vet thought to ask me if I had a open spot. The man offered to pay all the vet bills to fix up Nummy and I could take him home. Of course I gladly took him in.

So I get Nummy home, the only place I can set him up in at the moment is a big walk in closet with a light. It was a pretty good sized pen. I lined it with some towels, gave him a bowl of water, and left him to settle in for a while. He was so scared and curious at the same time. I decided to crawl behind the gate and try to pet him a bit. This is when the thumping occured. Boy was I surprised at this since it was my first time seeing it happen. The noise alone made me jump everytime he did this. The ear mites were driving him crazy and he would constantly shake his head to rid himself of the problem. I would gently try to pick out the stuff that was loose, but he looked so unconfortable.
A few days would pass and so would his ear mites. Nummy was starting to really come around. He seemed really friendly, and always lowered his head for a rub. We were bonding through this whole prosess and I was really becoming fond of this special animal.
He was an amazing sight to see when he would do his little jump in the air, My husband and I would say "he is doing a Stewart" (If anyone watches mad tv you will know who I am talking about) It would make me laugh at how cute he would look getting so happy like that. Nummy and I were getting really close, but Nummy was starting to have "more than friends" feelings for me, and every time I would come by his cage he would grunt and run circles around my legs. I knew it was time for him to have a replacement lover . I bought him his very own girlfriend...
