Good luck, I hope it went well.

Rescue mission got postponed until tomorrow, we were waiting on the property owner to grant us permission onto her property but she didn't return the call. Hopefully I can still help out tomorrow, I will be pretty busy though. If not I will still left you all know how it went.

The reason I'm going to be busy is volunteering with other rabbit rescue and I may be fostering a Lethal White guinea pig. She is at a local shelter, which is very bad, Lethal's are very high maintenance. Specific maintenance too that is not for everyone. I was contacted by a member of a Guinea Pig Forum. Due to their genetic makeup they are born blind and deaf, often times living shortened lifespans filled with costly medical care. They are very special pigs. A few rescues in the bay area/southern CA have agreed that they can take her. So tomorrow I will be trying to pull her from the shelter and holding her until transport is arranged.

Ah! Drama. :twitch:

Here is the new thread regarding Felix's new odd behavior-

Aw I hope you can get her out. Lethal Whites are so sweet!

Super bummed right now... :sigh:

The bunny rescue mission failed. We were too late. It was pretty awful actually. Not only was the property totally creepy, but it was also a freakin farm. So many places for a bunny to hide. I came armed with an x-pen, flashlight and net. All that was left of one of the rabbits was a head, still furry and everything. It was really disturbing. The rest was missing and there was hair everywhere. We also found large patches of different colored fur in two other places. We tried really hard to find any survivors and crawled through things that will probably result in a rash later, but it was pretty obvious the bunnies that recently were there have passed.

Why does their "happy couple" picture remind me of "American Gothic"? I think it's their facial expressions. They are an adorable couple, though! (I love Amber's helicopter ears!) :hearts

This is so hilarious! I saw the picture of the bunnies, instantly thought they looked like the old couple with the pitch fork standing in front of the house, showed the picture to my fiance and he agreed... Scrolled down and saw your reply!

Anyway, I too am in love with little Felix. I think he wants to take a trip to Alaska. He reminds me of my sweet little Skyler. I love the name Felix, too- it's actually on our list if we ever have a son!

I'm sorry that your rescue mission did not turn out as you planned. All I can say is, at least you tried. :hug:

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Oh no, poor bunnies. Sorry, I didn't read the rest of your blog before replying before... I wonder if there are any bunnies hiding on the property still

SO DARN CUTE

:yeahthat:

I just watched Felix's baby video and wanted to let you know that watching him clean his little face on his tiny little hind feet was easily the high point of my day, at 10:43 in the morning. :biggrin:
Seriously, he's so cute I was sitting in my chair making the Home Alone scream-face. Goodness! They shouldn't be allowed to come that cute. XD

Edit: I just read the last page of your blog. I'm so sorry about the rescue. :'(

 

[Happi Bun]

Thanks everyone. It was hard to accept the defeat but I get peace of mind knowing we tried everything possible. We even left hay and pellets. The property owner said if she saw any bunnies again she would contact the rescue right away, so that also gives me some peace of mind.

Felix LOVES playing in the bunny proofed Kitchen. Sometimes he gets a little bit obsessive about the gate keeping him in the kitchen but he soon remembers how big of an area he is playing in and goes running off. Sometimes it takes me re-directing his attention with a healthy treat. I've been teaching him how to do circles, he has such a short attention span though.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Rat-stravaganza at a local SPCA with a friend. Should be fun!

Wow, I missed the part about the rescue mission. I'm sorry you had to encounter that scene.

 

[Wabbitdad12]

Sorry the rescue didn't work out.

 

[kherrmann3]

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we need more pictures of everybunny! :rofl:

 

[Myia09]

Sorry the rescue didn't work out
I know how it feels!

Felix is just so darn cute.. I can imagine him running around!

The rat thing sounds really cool! I wish we had things like that!

GREAT NEWS! :bunnydance:


You know that stray bunny we tried to rescue but ended tragically? Well the bun is still alive! He came back. I'm guessing that when his/her friend was killed by the predator that bunny ran off. The lady called the rescue saying she saw the bun bun again hanging in the spot we had left hay and pellets. I'm so happy! It's getting increasingly hotter outside though and there isn't any decent water sources. So a friend of mine that lives closer to the area (the one I helped last time) is going tomorrow to try and catch him/her.

Send all those good vibes and cross your fingers!



PS- I'm working on posting new pics of the bunnies.

Erika, do you have any updates on the loose bunny? And... where are those pictures? I need my Felix fix. Try to get some of his tiny mouth that I keep hearing about

 

[MILU]

Felix is so adorable. I can't say that enough.

Dunkin, however, is still my favorite. So adorable!
