Hello there, it's been a while but i'm back and hope you can help me. My sister in law bought a long haired rabbit a few years ago for her daughter (my niece) but since then it seems the rabbit has had a fair bit of neglect. I've always tried my best to help and have trimmed and brushed matts out and clipped his nails. It's been a while since i've been around my brothers house (he lives quite a way away) so i havent seen their rabbit lately. Well my brother has left the rabbit with mum whilst they go on holiday, mum rang straight away to say she didn't know what to do because the rabbit was in such a state. I went round tonight to see if i could help but there is no way i could do it. The poor little things hair is just one big matt. He must be really uncomfortable so i hope to take the little darlin to the vets tomorrow if possible to get him sorted out and get him vaccinated against myxi which my brother never has done. It's rather important as my mum and dad live out in the sticks and also have a wild rabbit warren in the back garden where the rabbit is staying. He's shut in his hutch as we worried about him getting infected.
When this little fella has been sorted do you think it would be possible to take him in to my care? Thing is i have two female unspayed rabbits already and am worried if this will complicate things. Of course i would keep the females separate from him in all aspects but i just wonder if even sensing his presence would cause problems? I really want to help and give this little lad the treatment he deserves, he is such a lovely little character. Better attitude than my two young ladies i must add!!! I just wondered what your thoughts would be and if anyone has been in this situation or has experienced a really bad case of a matted rabbit and what they did etc etc
Any advice and help would be appreciated.
Love and hugs
