Luna the Foster Bun

[naturestee]

Yeah, it's hard enough to get healthy rabbits adopted out, much less one that will need dental work several times a year.

Awww poor baby! Pipp has had good luck with using a special diet to help keep the spurs down. Have you asked her about that? I know she uses Kale for one thing.

Luna is a beautiful girl - you know I love her to pieces!

 

[naturestee]

Yeah, I've talked to Pipp about that before although I can't remember if I have since I got Luna. She gets 3-4 cups of veggies daily, including thick stuff like kale, collard greens, and cabbage as well as carrots and a mix of different types of hay and a few pellets.

I'm wondering if maybe she'll be able to go longer between molar grindings after this second one, because she's more used to eating lots of veggies and hay. After her last surgery, I was still working on introducing more veggies to her and she wasn't getting much at a time yet, plus she didn't really touch her hay for a while yet. So hopefully she won't need to be back again as quickly.

I so wish I had my camera with me last night when she was- um- playing with the football pillow. She was relentless, and so funny! Especially since it was a little big for her and tended to roll, so she'd start slipping to the side...

Oh and Bo did I tell you that we play a binky game now? When she's hyper, I put my hand down like I'm offering to pet her. She investigates, maybe lets me rub her nose once, and then binkies. Repeat the whole thing. Repeat. Repeat!:laughsmiley:

Such a sweetheart.

Foster Luna pics are gonna be available for ALL of Petfinder to see! Pretty Darn Soon. Foster moms like you, naturestee, allow her to find a permanent home.

She's benefitted so much by all you've done for her vs. sitting in a small cage and not getting exercise or Hay! Her RO blog will be an excellent reference for her prospective loving owners. WHAT WONDERFUL OPTIONS foster humans provide to jeopardized, needy rabbits.

Foster moms deserve a hug every day,:hug1:agree

Angela, an extra special human will come forward for Luna.... It'll take a while. ~ So many go above and beyond when it comes to devoted care to "special" somebuns. ~ Yah, there's humans in the network who specifically lean to lesser-fortunate kiddos b/c they can do that extra somethin'. Karla sends lotsa nose nudges to Luna hoping she'll binky down the pile in the carpet!! woo hoo.

Any word on the vet checking for OVH?

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I wish she was coming to me. :cry2 Hubby won't let us get any more until we move to a farm.

Can one of the requirements for an adoptive family be that they keep in contact and bring photos here?!?!

 

[TreasuredFriend]

You betcha, Bo -

Finding her the appropriate home so Angela could possibly assist more needy buns (?) is a main priority. Posters at the vet clinic would clue potential adopters in to her availability *plus* let her stay with the vet who already knows her.

Oh, a dang pest in this regard, yet if you (umm, get time, gulp) to add new visuals of more slender Luna to photobucket, naturestee, I'll borrow some of those for her SRR page.
Keepin' the faith lovely blue Luna WILL find a forever home ~~ to binky for her permanent parents.

Bo B, You're Luna's Auntie.

It's been a really long time since I posted this! So much has happened. Luna was spayed and had her molars ground down again on March 11th. And this last Tuesday she met a new human (Myheart) and her boy bunny- and they both really liked her! Here's the thread on that:

Here's a cute video you guys haven't seen yet:


Hopefully Myheart will keep us all updated on Luna in her new home! She's coming back for Luna tomorrow!

 

[LuvaBun]

I'm delighted Luna found her forever home - always had a soft spot for her. You must miss her, though!
