Hello,
I have a lovable, family friendly male flemish/chinchilla mix who is in need of a new home. I do this with a heavy heart but I know its whats best. Due to the covid19 situation i had to get a second job and my bun who is used to being free roam and around me most of the day is now stuck home alone shut in his room.
I really want him to go to a good home that is used to buns amd has knowledge about proper care for such a large breed. He has a ton of personality and even knows his name as ive had him since he was 6 weeks. He was born december 26 2017. He is a chunky butt, litter trained, leash trained, and his favorite treat is whole grain Cheerios. He will even eat them out of your hand without biting you. He needs a 1 cup of pellets a day, i usually fill his bowl with a good adult formula brand mixed with some type of hay or grasses at night around 630 7. He will nibble at his leisure. I find it empty around the same time the next day. He also gets a good portion of leafy greens and veggies. He loves cucumber, bell pepper strips cleaned and washed of seed, dandelion greens too. I just grow things in my garden that are listed as safe on rabbit food guides. Its much cheaper and easier than you would think. He gets fruits occasionally but not too much. He has a thing about stealing crackers i dont know why but as soon as he hears you crunch he comes running.
He loves to be pet and get his cheeks and head massaged. His daily brain rub lol. He is used to being brushed but dont press hard especially near his butt. He will run and jump when hes allowed to free roam. I make big blocks for him from empty boxes that he can climb and jump on inside. I use the big foam blocks inside the box and tape them shut so he cant eat it. Its sturdy enough to hold him and he really likes it. Once he gets used to the noise outside he will run and hop on the leash. I have a good sized harness you can have. He does need a dog one. Last weighed in about 14 pounds. He drinks A TON of water. We use a bowl with a tank attached. The more humid it is the more he will drink.
Im not asking for a fee just someone who will love him as much as i do. As you can tell from my rambling i am very very attached, it really breaks my heart to see him go. He likes kids as long as they dont pick him up. He does not enjoy being picked up but will tolerate if he trusts you eapecially when hes outside and wants to feel safe. But do becareful, at his size if he is dropped or falls from high enough he could break his back.
Hes used to cats but does not like dogs and has tried to fight a dog much bigger than him. His back feet a larger than they appear and he kicked this dog full in the face just for sniffing through the bars of our porch. He is not a biter unless absolutely frightened and has only ever bit a person once who was a stranger that just grabbed him from behind by his legs. Other than that instance i have never been bit or anyone in my family. He is not neutered and does pretty well. Ive never seen him spray or be aggressive. He also likes riding in the car and will try to put his head out like a dog if youre holding him. Keep the harness on him at all times when outside. I always hook the leashes to a strap around my wrist so even if i need my hands he cant get away.
I think i rambled enough. Hopefully theres someone on here who will read all of this lol.
