Happy Hopping
Wise Old Thumper
For the male, there is 2 choices:
Choice 1: Monty
He's a 2 year old Holland Lop
weight: 1.91 KG as of June 26, 2007
He was a strayed bunny, and someone found him and picked him up and dropped him off to SPCA.
His personality seems slightly more affectionate than the other male bunny.
From his medical notes: Ivermectin SQ (For Heartworm Prevention). This rabbit is Bright, Alert and Responsive. Eyes, ears, and nares are clear. Front teeth occlude normally. No lumps palpated on the jaw. Feet and nails in good condition. Haircoat and body condition are good.
Abdominal palpation WNL (Within normal limit). Heart and lungs auscultation WNL (Within normal limit). confirmed male with 2 descended testicles. Rabbit is a little trembly when handled, but not too jumpy and is nice.
And from my personal observation: his eyes are bright and clear. Nose is slightly damp when I trace my finger on it. Coats is very healthy, smooth, no lump no his body, no dryness on ears, bottom looks clean
His personality is very good, gets along with the female bunny that I'm about to pick up. In fact, his penis 100% fully erect when he was fenced next to the female rabbit.
================
Choice 2: Max aka Blacky
He's a 3 year old Mini Lop
weight: 2.23 KG as of July 26, 2007
From his medical notes: Physical Exam:
eyes--Nothing Abnormal Found,
Ears--AS -> 3x small lumps on medial side of pinna DXX (possibly): old scars after post trauma, papilomatosis or neoplasia, otherwise Nothing abnormal found
AD--couple old scars otherwise Nothing abnormal found
(don't know what AD or AS stands for)
mouth, heart, lungs -- Nothing abnormal found
abdominal paplation, uscle/joints, skin -- Nothing abnormal found
male goth testicles descended, Ivermectine 0.44 mg(0.04 ml) SQ
And from my personal observation: his eyes are bright and clear. Nose is just a little bit damp when I trace my finger on it. Coats is very healthy, smooth, no lump no his body, no dryness on ears, bottom looks clean
His personality is quite good, gets along with the same female bunny that I'm about to pick up.
====================
In summary:
Monty is 1 year younger, his personality seems a bit better, a bit easier to get along than Max, but he does tremble when anyone touches him, although he only tremble at the beginning of the time I spent with him.
It's the inital trembling of Monty that concerns me, I need to know if it is psychlogical or weak genes. Monty is abandoned in another small city, so obviously his previous owner is not nice to him, that could explain the trembling. When I rub my finger along his nose, there is a light trace of dampness, a bit more so than Max. Almost all the rabbits (about 2 dozens of them) at SPCA has a bit of dampness on their nose. The vet said it's normal as long as the dampness is not wetness.
Max is 1 year older than Monty, his personality is not as tame as Monty, in both side of the play area, Max was busy digging--in 1 side of the play area, he was digging the basket with hay and newspaper bit. In the other side of the play area, he is digging my slack of paper, kick my ballpoint pen away, scratch the towel mounted on the bunny chair. So I feel he is just a bit harder to get along with, although he also let me rub his head just like Monty. When I rub his head, there is not as much dampness on his nose compares to Monty.
The 2 rabbits looks virtually the same.
