Bunny Owned
I guess I'm the noob here so I will introduce myself. I live in Stanley Va and I am owned by 8 rescued rabbits. I am an advocate for spay and neuter. I do not breed and I do not believe in it. I know some here breed but I do not. For those that do breed that is your choice I however do not so we can agree to disagree on that point. I rescued my first bunny a year ago a REW. Her name is Sneaky. I rescued her from an awful meat breeder. Long story short she is blind in one eye because of the living conditions. She was about 5 weeks when I got her and she is a year old now. She is very beautiful, sweet, and quit the sneak...hence her name Sneaky aka Sneaky Pete, Sneakers, and Sneak Sneak. When I got her I knew not one thing about rabbit care but I immediately went to studying everything I could find on the proper care of rabbits. Because of her I rescued 7 more rabbits that were in horrible living conditions and not being cared for properly....Munchie, Adam, Georgie, Angelina, Bun Bun, Ruby, and Kristopher. Adam, Kristopher, and Ruby are siblings that I found at a flea market almost dead from heat stroke. Georgie was living on a wire floor with at least 6 inches of poop under the bottom. Angelina and Bun Bun were living in CA and made the over 2500 mile trip to Va to live with me because...you guessed it...the lame excuse of I'm moving and can't take them with me and am forced to send them back to the high kill shelter I got them in. Btw I hate, hate, hate that excuse but anyway Bun Bun has some special needs and no one wanted him and if I hadn't taken them he would have surely been killed at the shelter. Munchie was a Easter impulse buy so when the novelty wore off she was no longer wanted.
None of my rabbits are ever put in cages for any reason or any amount of time. I am very strict on diet so I have some very healthy buns. Bun Bun's condition has almost completely resolved itself due to high quality diet, exercise, and lots of love. When he came to me he was on meds, his head was tilted, he fell over, he couldn't periscope at all, he had a hard time cleaning himself, his teeth were discusting (black and brown), and he was underweight. His head is completely straight now, he can periscope without falling over, he can groom himself, he jumps, climbs, binkys and all without falling over. His teeth are snow white, and he's a healthy weight. His weight is constantly monitored because he is so very active it's hard for him to gain.
Anyway I could write a book on my rabbits but I will spare everyone. I just wanted to take the time to say hi and introduce my bunnies. :rabbithop
