I have just taken on two more bunnies, a pair of Netherland Dwarf brothers. I collected them yesterday - it was the usual story of parents buying them for the children, the children lose interest so the parents don't want them either. I don't think they have had much attention up to now (they are about a year old) and they just seem sad.
I took them for a check up with the vet yesterday (traumatic day for them) because one has a dental problem, and needed his teeth clipped badly, but other than that and dirty bums they were in good health. They are eating and drinking, but like I say, they just seem sad.
I have given them lots of toys, the opportunity for exercise, lots to chew on... but they just don't seem interested. Do you think it's just the trauma of coming to a new home? Anything else I can do for them?! Any suggestions gratefully received!
(Sorry for the long post!)
