Hi There,
I inadvertantly acquired a bunny a few weeks ago. Came home from work one day and a tiny fluffy bunny was sat in the corner of the garden soaked to the skin (i think it had a dunk in the pond!) and freezing cold as it was very unpleasant weather. Thank god i noticed it before i let the dogs out as they'd have made short work of it!!!! Cant believe people can be so stupid as to just dump a rabbit like that....I've not had a rabbit since i was a child and that one was vicious, used to bite and kick and scratch, so i was a bit dubious about picking this one up, but it was very friendly and grateful for the attention I think.
I had nowhere to put it unfortunately so took it in and put it in a spare fishtank until I could get to the pet shop the next day to buy a cage (i have since been given an outdoor hutch so its in better accommodation now, dont worry!!lol) and its been really friendly, although rather skinny and in need of grooming.
Anyway, knocked on some doors to see if anyone had lost a bunny and I think i found the culprit :confused2: The people directly behind me (we're attached by my garden fence) who I know for a fact have rabbits as i've seen the hutches vehemently denied ever owning rabbits or any pets and that they had no idea where it had come from. Interestingly, my pond is right next to our shared fence, I think they dropped it straight over the fence (probably when the spoilt bratty little kids got bored) and it went directly into the pond!! No idea how it got out, can they climb?? :?
Anyway, been trying to give it away but no one wants it :confused2: And i've got rather attached so I think its staying now. Considering all its been through being dumped like that, its such a sweetie
It has no name, but im told its a girl! Here's some pictures, quite cute i think!!
Sorry for the big long introduction, but as you can probably tell im not a rabbit person! :lookaround So any advice is welcome. I have it on woodshavings bedding that i use for my horses, with timothy hay, and some rabbit food from pets at home as well as fruit and veg... Thats just what a friend told me so if anythings wrong do let me know. The bunny still needs to gain some weight so any help would be appreciated
Thanks!!
P.S. To show just how clueless I am, I thought it was a guinea pig for about a week before a friend who keeps rabbits told me otherwise :biggrin2:
