So in case some of you didn't read my blog I will give a little info.
I had been looking for a pet bunny and my friend here has a brother who raises alligators and alot fo the giant snakes (anaconda, burmese, retics, etc) and of course they get fed bunnies. I asked if I could go look at them and she said sure soI met her father at the barn and started checking things out.
I picked out this little baby, he was the only fawn in the bunch and he was the one that started walking towards us, I asked if I could see him and the guy picked him up by the ears and handed him to me :cry2His little heart was beating so fast and I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head but once I started talking to him quitely and petting him between his eyes and ears he relaxed and snuggled in. I knew at that second he was mine.
He lived with numerous other bunnies all running around a big dark room with no windows. Stunk to high heaven but he also breeds thousands of rats so that wouldn't help.
Hay, bread and algae filled water was all I seen for food (but hubby did say he thinks they get veggies because he is the grocery manager at Sobeys here and they save all their scraps for them). Snickers is SKINNY...you can feel all rips and his spine sticks out, although he's only been here 3 days I can notice a huge difference in his fur and he doesn't seem so skinny but it could be all in my head, I don't know if he can start gaining so quickly.
Anyways nobody had any idea what breed of bunny they were, he said they were just "rabbits", they are all the same and the parents looked like they were about 10lbs or so, they were definately a bigger rabbit.
So what are your thought? He told me he is between 6-8 weeks but he was bigger then some of the other babies so I'd guess he is 8 weeks or a little older. I do believe he isa male,I sexed him the best I could and looking at pics online but time will tell.
Anywho here is Snickers, tell me what you think
Those were taken the night I brought him home, everythign is pretty basic for right now but I just ordered him $200.00 worth of stuff online, can't wait to get it :biggrin2:
