A hectic day!

Rereading the statement from the owners just makes a person shake their head. Like disposable quantity. Thankfully the shelter cared more to give them a second chance. Gratefully you stepped in toofferthosebunsa loving home/adoption opportunity!! ... {{gentle giants}}

Well, that's the main problem, TF-I can't come up with over $200 in one chunk! Mabye half, and that would leave me broke. And my vet doesn't do payment plans, I have asked more than once. I am just barely keeping my head above water with feed and vet trips for any that come in sick.

Yes, when I saw Marie (top photo) at the shelter, the first thing I said was, Oh, Lord, that ones' gonna grow! I still believe they have some Flemish in them. I have sent my vet's letter of recomendation and my adoption contract to Petfinder, as they said on the site. I have also talked to a Petfinder rep on the phone, and she gave me some advice as to how to run the money/donations part of things.

Are you anywhere near Red Door Shelter in Chicago?

Any other rescueorgs, or shelters, in the region who'll be agreeable?

... To alleviate the costs if your innocent three ladies are all pregnant.

Gosh, I feel for the light redfurredgirl, plus Marie, and the 3rd agouti mom who might deliver kits...

Lagomorphs (domestic rabbits, cottontails) are self-induced ovulators.Females ovulate and conceive after being mounted by an intact male. The ebony intact boyeasily could've mounted all three in that cramped space. (gulp)

I know a rabbit owner associated with Chicago HRS who might provide suggestions.

Hooray for Petfinder and the internet channels! [[gg]]

I am about three hours from Chicago. My mil lives there and I know almost to the minute how long it takes to get to the suburb she lives in! LOL I'm not sure where Red Door is, but roughly three hours, anyway. There really aren't any other rabbit rescues in the area, which in one of the reasons I wanted to start one myself. The one/s in Chicago are the closest.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I have been sick so haven't been online.

Great news! The does are all past due, and no babies! Gabe must have been too distracted by travel, etc, to "make like a bunny" LOL. I am so relieved!

Also, I am now posting my bunny toys on ebay, if anyone is interested. My user name on there is gentlegiants04, I think you can do a search by user name. If not, let me know and I will give you a link. Also, Buzz is getting neutered on Wednesday, wish him luck!

Oh thank goodness! That's wonderful news, GG. :biggrin2: Good boy Gabe! That really is just awful where these sweeties came from. Lots of good thoughts for Buzz and his vet visit.

 

[TreasuredFriend]

Update on Buzz. He's doing great, was eating and begging for treats within a couple of hours of coming home. Also felt good enough to tear up the towel the vet sent home for him to snuggle in! LOL
