The bunnies of RO had wonderful Christmases - mine got a dig pool, others got toys, one got a new indoor hutch and any bunnies that didn't get actual presents still got lots of love!
One non-RO bunny, though, got the worst early Christmas present a bunny could get - on December 21st, Thumper's family surrendered him to the HSPCA "because he was too big." Seriously. This adorable rabbit (who's only a little over 7 lbs btw) got dumped at a shelter for nothing more than being "too big." I want to find those people and introduce them to my steel-toe girly sneakers >.>
I saw him on the website the other night and thought he was a cutie, so I met him today after taking my orientation class for the foster program. As part of the foster program, you get a t-shirt and have access to the non-public areas of the shelter like volunteers do. When I went to the back and read the papers on his cage, that's when I found out *why* he's at the shelter.
I'm munching on a late lunch, then putting hay and a blankie in a travel carrier and going back to the shelter to liberate him (and give him a better name)! Now I just have to hope Nala and Gaz will give him a chance, since he'll probably have to go back to the shelter if I can't bond them . At least if I do have to return him, I can write up a little bio for him that might help him get adopted.
Hi there, he reminds me of Brooke. Brooke was BIG and I think that is part of the reason that they set her loose in the street. What did the write up at the shelter exactly say about Thumper?
As you know, I would give it some time to get them bonded. But I don't have to tell you that..
I'm still working on Brooke and Lady and like I said before I won't even try anything with my original buns Chico and Chica... they are already terrified of Brooke since she is WHAT? So BIG!
Let me know if you can get them bonded or not. I might lose my mind and take Thumper in the future if you can't get them bonded. Who knows Brooke might like a male play mate especially since she is fixed and he would be someone her own size!!!! :mrsthumper:
Keep us posted!
