Dear group members
The shelter just called me about these adorable bunnies - they are so cute and affectionate. they are about 12 weeks old that were found just out in a park. Just scooting about on the grass! They had no food or water. ) : A good Samaritan found them and brought the to the nearest shelter.
Yep they can use their front feets and scoot along - they are too cute!
Thelittle ones appear to be well fed, energetic and they are different, in that the legs are pointing outward. They cannot hop or walk likemost of our other rabbits -The vet said the legs were not broken, that it appeared that they were born this way. The shelter says they are unadaptable and wonders if anyone might want a bunnylike these . Well, I said -I think so.Let me check.So I am asking everyoneI know.
They noted these rabbits "walk like a turtle". They can and do eat and drink just fine and keep themselves very clean- I imagine a litter box would need to be cut down almost to the ground - Can anyone help us - We need info and ideas.The Haven isalready full with over 140 rabbit in system - Maybe if we get ideas and support from the group they will let them live. They are just different and impossibly irresistible.
One person wrote to me that she had taken in a bunny with with all four legs splayed.folks whocared for him initially tried to see if they could have his legs fixed, so he spent a lot of time atthe vet clinic, had various casts & splints put on the legs, but nothing worked. He wasthen rescued by my friend who is caring for him.
She says:"He is doing fine at my house, but he will never walk. He has limited scooting ability. But he lives withher other disabled buns,and he seems very happythere.The good news is that they are not hard to take care of, there's no diapers, no messy butt, no nothing.These boys are clean and happy, but just can't walk like other bunnies". .
I hope to hear from any of you who may have cared for a bunny with splay leg in the past or who are living with a bunny like these now. I hope to hear from many people! Let.'s help this little pair. Research links welcome
respond quickly though.Please
Love,
