Help Support Rabbits Online Forum:
I have pictures to post, but am not going to upload them right now, for various reasons, but some are really cute.
Anyway.
Took the second clutch to the vets again, and also got Cloud checked over. Cloud's gut is not right, but on closer inspection he has spurs, so he will be on Metacam, Fibreplex, wet greens and treat hay for the next few days to return his gut to proper working order before his spurs are burred on Friday. He and Candyfloss will have a day at the vets.
I paid today after all 14 of mine have gone to the vets twice, each has had two injections, and each has taken up an appointment. He told me to start with he would charge me one consult fee for each session (so four, because I took two lots in twice) and then just the amount of the Droncit they had, and in addition to that he would also give me a 10% discount, although I only found that out on Friday. Well, today I paid and it somehow only came to £88. I was amazed! Not sure how the hell they worked that out, but I'm not going to complain.
So the tapewormie stuff is now all sorted and finished.
I needed some more Fibreplex but they didn't have any at that branch so I went via another branch on the way home (they have 4). The receptionist there is lovely and we often have a good laugh when I go. Today when I arrived she pounced on me and said she wished I was there 2 minutes before. They had a lady come in who has a bunny with head tilt and her regular vets (who incidently were the vets that I used to go to who killed three of my buns through stupid mistakes and lack of knowledge) have told her to get it euthanised. Thanksfully Jan is great and I have been talking to her about Tilly's treatment and how we've been using Convenia and she was able to tell the lady that they have a regular visiting head tilt bun (Tilly) who is having different treatment and its really helping and how head tilt does not mean a death sentence. Jan wanted to pass on my number to her but didn't know if I would be ok with that, but she has told her to come and see my vet because of all we have been doing together. I did tell her that she can pass on my number if they do ever get a situation like that arise again because I am happy to help in those situations, to give hope, to give other titbits of advice that a vet may not think to say (things like about getting up and down off things, or at what points they get more disorientated and stuff). Broke my heart to think of this bun, and also of this lady, so I hope she does change to my vets and does see my vet.
(oh and as of tomorrow I won't have a laptop so not sure how much I will be around).

This isn't about my buns at all, but nevermind. I was talking to mum about the buns at the RSPCA, and I'm going to make essentially what is a big toy box and take it down. I'm going to order a variety of bunny toys and treats, or buy them in shops, get a bix box, wrap the box in Christmas paper, and then take it down. I'm very excited about this because I also plan to give the toys to them myself and take videos to use to help them be rehomed and for people to find them appealing. I love making bunnies happy, and I hope this makes some as yet unwanted bunnies, happy
And yes Polly, pics will appear

That is such a wonderful idea, I might steal it :run:. PepnFluff and I are meant to be exchanging bunny related gifts for xmas this year but I bought way too much stuff so might save some for the SPCA bunnies here.
How often do you go into thr RSPCA? Was it hard to 'get in'? I've been signed up as a volunteer at the SPCA here for more than a year but they never call me in :lookaround.
You know you could just accidently take some pictures of Sandy too and I wont mind, as well as the Pogo and Polo pics.
:tongue

I have pics of Sandy too, actually doing a very good Sakura impression with her disapproval It's just a bit hard to upload them onto a computer because it's my mum's laptop.
As for the RSPCA, I first applied back in March 06, and had a time and date to go for an induction, but couldn't go that week because I was ill, and asked them to let me know when the next one was because I did still want to volunteer, but they never did (rescues seem to be pretty rubbish at communication, lol).
Then last January I went to a rabbit show and the RSPCA had a stall and there was a teeny tiny little sign asking for people who know about rabbits because the RSPCA needs rabbit knowledge people to do home visits for people adopting rabbits. So I called, spoke to my now supervisor, had a home visit myself and we went from there. So I don't actually volunteer at the place, but I go down there normally every week or two to see the buns, but I haven't been for a while with all the wormie stuff.
I would suggest that you keep pushing them Michelle, because you would be ace there. Sometimes paper work gets lost, or people are disorganised. Also, at ours you have to say when you want to go, they don't ask you, so it might be you have to make the first move or something like that.

No pictures yet, sorry! I've been out most of the day.
I spend a lot of my time tearful/crying (God that sounds pathetic, lol), but today has been worse and I had no idea why, but then it dawned on me. I have been out and bought a load of toys to donate to the RSPCA (I've spent in excess of £150 on it all :?which I'm a bit pleased to be able to say I can afford due to being now registered as disabled and getting a huge benefit for it), and buying things for bunnies knowing it will make them happy, makes me feel good. So why am I tearful? Because I just feel so deeply sorry for those poor unwanted buns. They all deserve homes and I hate that they don't have them. The positive is that I know they have a huge enclosure, they have food, water, human interaction, and they are safe, but its not the same as having a home. I've never appreciated until this year all about the rescue world and how it works.
I've met some stunning bunnies this year, and I do the pre adoption visit, and the post adoption visit (very different from the US, I believe). I see the buns in the shelter, and when I see them in a home it is a completely different bunny. There have been times when I have been hard pushed to believe it's the same bun. A home makes such a difference to those buns. The love, I guess.
My own Candyfloss was my very first rescue. I went to the RSPCA one day and there was this beautiful white bun. She was sitting REALLY high up on top of a huge hutch. I've never seen a bun sit up there before. She was a Cloud-a-like with longer ears. She came over straight away for a fuss, and was very people friendly. She had been found by a lady in her garden and so they had to wait 7 days before putting her up for adoption. She was so friendly the theory is she escaped from wherever she lived, and she had been much loved there (she is definitely a houdini that's for sure). She arrived on the Saturday and by the Tuesday I had reserved her (think of that as a priviledge for being their volunteer, lol). I had to wait the seven days, then she was spayed, and she came home asap. She first bonded with the Dopeys and Cloud triountil she decided she wanted Cloud all to herself and she now lives wiht just Cloud and the Dopeys are just by themselves again. She is unrecognisable from the bun I got. She's ace though Although, to be honest, had I known she would have taken Cloud away from the Dopeys, I probably wouldn't have got her, but I definitely won't be taking her back.
I took in my first foster two days before getting Candyfloss. I had done a pre adoption visit for a little bun called Harley and had failed it because the hutch was appallingly small (we say 6ft by 2ft minimum, this was 3ft by 1ft for a pair), but he bullied my supervisor and she backed down. I worked very closely with the guy and got a good working relationship with him so that I could hopefully prod him in the right direction. When it became clear he was a fool and ignoring my advice I invited myself round with the intension of making him think it was his idea to surrender Harley, and it worked, I manipulated him into thinking it was his idea to give up that bun. I already had a new home lined up for him. Harley has been there since early July, and he was only with me for a week, but he was so happy, a different bun from at the centre, from at his accidental adopters house. He now has a girlfriend (Called Floppy, which is a story in itself because she was another bun I had to rehome myself), a loving family, oodles of run time and he is SO happy.
Today I went round to see a bunny adopted out in May. She was adopted out as a baby and the new owners waited until she was spayed to bond her with their bun, which was great, however, when it came to it, they couldn't do it because there was no neutral territory, they were anxious and their bun Bracken was a bit of a bully, lol. So I did it. They came to mine for a day and I didn't do the full bonding, but got them over that hurdle. Liquorice and Bracken are now fully bonded and they both look so haappy. It was amazing to see the difference in both buns. They were just so shiney in their coat. Really happy
I have never talked really about the stories behind Roger, Tilly and Summer, but I do intend to. Not right now, but soon.
I was feeling very grateful for my buns tonight, and very grateful for them, that they have a home full of love, and everything most of them need (with the exception of some friends for some) so they all got a large piece of apple/pear/banana and enjoyed that. They are so lucky, and so am I. I hope those poor buns at the centre are lucky sometimes soon too. Especially Noddy and Beauty who have been there since November 2006.

It is amazing what fostering can do for you. It is such an awesome feeling. I have a page on my site dedicated to my fosters.
Fostering is definitely amazing, but for me, it is probably more eye opening because of everything else I do for the RSPCA. If I just fostered I don't think I would feel quite the same as I do now.

Anyway, this is going to be avery short rant.
What is the point of asking for help and then ignoring it. Ignorance is no excuse for neglect, but when you have the information and choose not to use it, that is down right disgusting.
/rant.
See, VERY short, lol.

[align=center]inkbouce:I've FINALLYbought a bra that fits!inkbouce:[/align]
For once I have all bits of both ****s contained, no overflow or anything. It's a 32FF, although I think I actually need a 30, which would make it a 30G? But right now, this bra fits, and I think I'm in love with it. My old ones were too small, but I couldn't afford to get anymore.
It is a wonderbra, has detachable straps, and is SO comfy. I keep walking around like holding my ****s lol because it feels SO good!
So yeh, just wanted to share. :biggrin2:
(I was going to post this on a thread of its own, but I thought the mods might tell me off and find it inappropriate, so its FAR less obvious here).

I am sorry but I just about fell over giggling just now! I love your wording . That is one post where I think I wont ask for pictures on though haha!
I hate bras and here in the regular shops the largest you can get is DD and I am an E (I think, I've never been fitted) so I'm always feeling stuffed into things that are too small. Why is it they give the huge knockers to those of us that don't have 10 babies to feed, what do we need them for? I'm glad you found one you like though yay! I must have a look on the internet for something too as the stores are useless. And good idea sneaking that into you blog .
I'm sorry to hear of you crying and all that. It's good you got on a benefit though, I am on a small one also and it's such a relief to have enough money to do bunny stuff. You have a much worse rabbit problem there with needing homes etc and I can't imagine how hard it must be to see their sad faces all the time :?. Thank goodness that there are people like you who do care though, at least they have you.
I haven't forgotten you've said you have some Sandy pictures up there so I'm going to be asking you every 5 minutes if you have your laptop back yet so I can see them.....has it been 5 minutes yet?

My ****s are not as contained tonight as they were this morning, which is an interesting concept. I may be bigger than I thought. I need to order another two, so guess I'll get the next size up and see what happens.
Smaller is definitely easier, but I wouldn't change mine, they get me free things :biggrin2:
My buns seem ok thanks Becca. Cloud is as prepared as he can be for tomorrow, and the others are all very normal. Thanks for asking
