Maspenock Rabbit Rescue

[bunnydude]

She is cute! I hope she finds a nice, loving home.

Amy, I hadn't realized you did rabbit rescue. I remember you mentioning something about birds- do you run a bird rescue too?

She does look like a sweetie. How could anyone give her up?

 

[ayglnu13]

I do birds has a side, but rabbits are my main focus

Her owners gave her up because they were"Unexpectedly expecting" and the rabbits room was going to be thebabies...

I don't usually talk behind peoples back,but that reason REALLY made me mad! How irresponsible, why couldn't therabbit have gone into a different room....:?

She is sucha sweetie, but I having a hardtime finding her a home because she is a little older (4 yrs) everytime they ask how old she is I never hear back from them:disgust:

Thats too bad...I've found Oreo (I adopted herat 2) is a wonderful bunny!!! Much calmer and better littertrained...maybe you should point those things out! Is she spayed? Oreohad been for awhile so I think that helped with her calm and litterhabits!

 

[ayglnu13]

No she isnt, thoughfor some reason I heard it is bad to spay bunnies have four...why am Ithinking that...some one set me straight

Check out these articles. This one says to dolab work on the bun before surgery if they're over two. It also saysbuns over six have complications from anesthesia.

This one also says to do blood work if the rabbit's over 2 years.

I know the shelters around here spay 4 and 5 year old rabbits. Ihaven't seen a rabbit over 5 in the shelters here. Sounds a littlefishy to me. Maybe they put down any that are too old to spay?

That would be HORRIBLE! Never never neverwould I do that! Thats sick, kill a bunny because of age!:disgust:

The bunnies go out with a spay/neutercontract (notarized and everything), and she has only been here a week,if she stays any longer I will be getting her spayed

Kaytee Fiesta.

That is EXACTLY what they were feeding her! Plus 7 different Katee treats :disgust:

I am going to be switching her food soon,but I don't want to stress her out on her first day here. I'll give hera day or two and then gradually switch the food. I am also going to cutout all treats and such :?just so much food lyingaround!

~Amy

I have a confession. I have a MILLION bags of treats for thebuns. Before I got them while I was buying all of theiraccessories, I got LOTS of treats! I feed them one like oncea week. But if I knew then what I know now, I could havesaved $30 (or more). I will proudly admit that I have neverfeed them Fiesta Mix.

Oh I have TONS of bags of treats lyingaround, they are mostly donated though I only use treats as positivereinforcement, that way when they do something good they get somethingtasty (usually one or two small bits of treat a day). If the treats arebig I cut them in half

I really don't even know why pet storessell Kaytee, almost everything made by Kaytee is unhealthy! Seriouslyright now I cant even think of one product that Kaytee makes that ishealthy! Even their bird treats are unhealthy....

I have tons of treats too, but they never get them. Ihonestly need to clean out the "treat bin" because it's overloaded. My boss sends any treats that get opened at work homewith me.

I actually like Kaytee hay. It's good, as long as you don'tneed a ton. I order it in though, so I know it's just come inand not sat there for a while. I also have fed Kaytee TimothyComplete food. It's the only timothy pellet food that meetsthe rabbit requirements (except Oxbow).
