I'm in Columbus Ohio I am sure I can help if a overnight is needed.
Driving very far is not possible because of my car.

Am back from out of town...what is the status of Beazel?

 

[Haley]

Iowa to North Carolina would be almost 18 hours. I dont know that I could manage to arrange a transport that long (even with my bunderground contacts). I could probably get them here to Michigan and then maybe we can work on getting them to NC when it warms up or something? Katt, would you be able to foster them if we can get them to MI?
I have a friend who is going to be in IL in a few weeks and could bring the buns back this way.
Lymie, do you drive? Could you or anyone you know help drive them closer to IL? Or are there any members here near Chicago who would drive west?
If we did this in two trips it might be doable.

 

[ncbunnygirl72]

If you decide to get them to me when it warms up thats fine, I will still take them. I have the room unless some major rabbit rescue problem happens here, which I hope doesn't happen.

 

[Lymie]

No, I'm sorry. I don't know how to drive.

Does anyone have any idea on how soon you can have him and Alfie out of here?

 

[katt]

we are trying. please give us time to work a way to get them on the road.

yes, haley, i can take them as fosters for a while not a problem.

 

[SweetSassy]

would flying them be better? or cheaper?

 

[katt]

flying would be massivly hard this time of year with the weather.

 

[SweetSassy]

oh... ok..... thats true. didn't think of that.

 

[katt]

i can travel a few hours south, if we can get them to michigan. my friend is willing to drive me (as my car just can't make that trip).

haley, if we can get them to christina, that would be awesome. but if we can't i could meet you in the area were i picked up.

i wonder if i could bring 2 rabbits on the greyhound? i know it sounds crazy, but i would be willing to make the trip with them that way if needed. although now i am thinking about it that would be super stressfull on them, wouldn't it?

okay, haley if you have any leads let me know! i can take them whenever they can come. not a problem. my vet is willing to be on standby to give them a health check and help with whatever i need.

only other thing i need to know- lymie, do you have carrier for them? do you have a cage? how are you doing now? do you need any help getting anything right now untill we can get them on the road? don't be afraid to ask, i am willing to help get them whatever they need.

oh, and any chance you have pics? still wondering just what his feet look like. if not it is cool

 

[Lymie]

They're doing alright. I don't have any pictures, but I can assure you they're getting better. They don't look as raw, the scabs are shrinking, and I don't see anymore pus on them. As for a carrier, I don't have any of that. Sorry.

I'm still worried, and very anxious. I know you're all working hard, and I'm thankful for that.

 

[katt]

okay, i will get working on the carrier issue. might be that i have to order one and send it to your house. let me look into it.

glad that they are doing good. and its all cool, we will figure this out

 

[Lymie]

I just took another look at them, and the scabs have shrunken A LOT. Really, they look great. Another few days and they'll be gone.

 

[katt]

lymie i have a few questions so i know all information

beazel is 1 1/2 years old and neutered correct? about how big is he?

and alfie, is he a mini rex also? about how old do you think he is and is he neutered?

are the bonded in one cage? or just get along together when let outside? how long have they been bonded?

just trying to think about carrier and cage sizes

 

[Lymie]

Beazel is 1 1/2, neutered and about 5lbs.

Alfie is between 6-12 months, not neutered, and around 5 lbs. He is a bit bigger then Beazel now. I'm not sure what breed he is.

They are bonded and live in the same cage. There hasn't been too much issue on who's dominant. It was Beazel, but since he's been injured Alfie has taken that role. Beazel doesn't seem to mind.

They've been bonded together for three or four months. Alfies bond with a LionHead was broken, and I bonded him to Beazel. It took a day.

If you decide to foster them and transport them to N.C in the warmer weather, I would drive the entire way. We are going on vacation to N.C so it wouldn't be a big deal.

just a thought!
