Hi, my name is Max, and somehow I've ended up with a bunny! Well, I've ended up with the bunny because someone else was unable to care for it, but that's not so much the point. My bun is named Oliver Hopscotch and he's kind of a mystery in terms of age and his past, etc.
Up until a few weeks ago, he'd been living with some very nice folks, their kids and their two cats. Apparently, Ollie had been dumped somewhere in the woods and he was lucky enough to be spotted by a very kind fisherman who took him home. The folks who have been keeping him say that Ollie sort of just hopped over to the fisherman, and well, the rest is history. All of this is just to say that we really know nothing of his history, short of the fact that it seems he was at some point a pet, as he's quite tame.
As of yesterday, I took Oliver to the vet and found out that he's a young male bunny, in tact, and doing quite well. Honestly, I wasn't completely sure if he was male or female, and though the owner did say she thought he had been neutered, I had my doubts.
I'm on another forum and have gleaned so much information from other bunny folks, so I'm hoping to do the same here, too. Thank gosh for places like this, otherwise I would be so lost!
Oh, and it seems that Oliver is probably some kind of Dutch (I really had no idea about different bunny breeds) - he's chocolate in color, with a stripe just beneath his neck, and lucky for him, he's a looker, because he's also a lot of work!
