Hey there! I was posting several posts in various threads in The Infirmary as well as about housing and behavior, and I just decided to collect all of my posts here in Chewy's blog.
Chewy is a beautiful, black and white French rabbit, a little lady, who is nine years old. All I wanted was a rabbit when I was little, despite adults trying to convince me to get a pet that I could "play" with- a dog, or a cat. I was in love with bunnies and had my heart set on getting one.
Chewy was purchased from a Petland store in my neighborhood. I now know the real benefits of adopting a shelter rabbit, etc., but at the time in my young age, I didn't know too much about that. I have no regrets giving Petland business as it resulted in Chewy and I uniting, a real match made in heaven. She was 3 months old when I brought her home.
Chewy has been a part of my family ever since then, participating in family events, always there on my birthday, always ready to offer up a good-luck pet for me before my soccer games and tests in school. She is a spunky bunny who likes things her way ONLY. She is very sweet and LOVES to be pet.
Her favorite fruit is banana, and she also loves string beans and granny smith apple. At first, she didn't like carrots at all :shock:, but now she likes eating baby carrots.
She enjoys being brought outside in our suburban-type community within New York City. She loves running on the hill across the street, and more recently, lounging behind our building underneath a favorite tree. She has a plastic Toy bunny Vanilla who is her constant companion. It is a love-hate relationship, as she is thrown around the cage throughout the day, but always winds up right next to Chewy while she lies down.
Chewy has always loved Busy Bunny's willow tunnels, and has joyfully completely chewed up quite a few in her lifetime.
Chewy was recently diagnosed with cancer, an unidentifiable form that her doctors have never seen before. She seems entirely unaffected- still her little spunky self. Within about a week of hearing, she seemed more aggressive, and was put on Metacam, a pain killer. She has been on it for about 8-9 days now, and has been enjoying her life as usual.
Recently I have noticed she seems to be more quiet and subdued. My family and I are going on vacation for a week on Wed, and I am heartbroken to leave her here. I will be having family members taking care of her while I'm gone, but I hate to leave her.
I hope that she is okay! All of these stories I hear about bunnies seeming fine but actually having a lot of inside problems terrify me, but my little Honey does seem to be holding up, happy as can be eating her favorite treats and tearing apart her willow tunnel.
