Young Bun
I recently posted in rainbow bridge about my rabbit Harvey, who was PTS just before Christmas. I've been keeping a close eye on his friend Lily to make sure she's not getting too depressed, and although she's eating and drinking ok I think she's definitely in need of a new friend. She's not as confident on her own and tends to just stay in her hutch.
I had a look at rabbit rehome, and noticed a little bunny who looks adorable. The problem is that due to previous neglect he has very bad teeth which need to be clipped by the vet every 6 weeks or so. He also needs his back teeth doing, so I assume this could also be a regular thing. As all this is pre-existing and is related to teeth it will obviously not be covered by insurance, so I'm looking at about £6 a time for front teeth and then about £60 if he needs his back teeth doing again too.
Part of me thinks I'm silly for considering taking on a bunny with health problems, but then another part of me thinks that there's no guarrantee on the health of any rabbit. Any bunny I take on could easily develop ongoing health problems which could be expensive. . .
Does anyone have a rabbit with teeth problems, who could give me an idea of how much it costs them? The front teeth costing £6 every 6 weeks is not too bad, I'm just worried how often the back teeth would need doing if it's going to cost £60 a time?!
Help!
