Thanks Rabbit Dad for the welcome and all the great links! :biggrin:
Huxley is too cute! It's cute how he has been changing colour. He started off with ginger patches all over him and as we're in winter now, he's getting darker brown everyday!
I just found a little scared pet bunny last week in the tiny park next to Central station in Sydney. (if you're not from Oz, just think the most bustling part of a big city of five million plus people with peak hour traffic, trains, trams, cars, people rushing to and fro work.. Not a place for a little scared bunny! )
She was scared and bounding up to people. It took me over an hour to catch her in the dark and she kept running out of the tiny park onto the road. I had to dash through bushes, get bitten by spiders, slowly creep up on her in slow motion and finally got her!
I rang the rescue centre where I got my little Huxley but they told me they were overrun with buns at the moment and if I took her to the pound or a vet she would euthanized straight away. So I got the flea treatment for her and she is in quarantine in the laundry at the moment for two weeks to make sure she doesn't have myxo and give it to Huxley.
The vet said, considering where I found her it was 99.99% chance she was dumped by someone! It is so horrible that someone would do that!
She is very placid and gentle and sweet. With two front white paws, a gingery coat with a grey tail, ears and nose with a little white triangle on it. The poor thing would have died if I left her there. She has a huge appetite and eats so much so that's a good sign, and she looks very healthy so far! So only another week to go and she will have passed quarantine!
I have to make sure I wash my hands or wear different clothes after I see her so in case she does have Mxyo I won't spread it to my little Huxley.
Here's some pics of the little girl... She's about the same size as Huxley now, but I think she will grow much bigger judging by the size of her cute big ears!
As you can see, she is quite beautiful.
I'm not sure if I will keep her or try and find her a home. But at this point, I'm just happy she's not lost in the city dodging traffic and trams.
If once her quaratine period is over, Huxley hates her and they don't get along I will look at rehoming her..
