krazy canines
New Kit
Hi, although I joined this forum a while ago now when I rescued baby hope and her brother Tetley. Sadly Hope died due to the neglect she had suffered.
I have popped onto the forum every now and then to read threads for advice but never really posted.
Well, now I am here as I have just Tetley a girlfriend and need all the help and advice I can get. But first pics and info about my rabbits.
Tetley is a 1year old boy who I took with his sister, who was very poorly. he has been with us since he was tiny, and is a house rabbit that goes out during the day. How long for depends on weather. He is very loving, but doesnt like being picked up. If I sit on the floor he will rest his front feet and head on my lap and go to sleep. When I read my 4 yr old betime stories we sometimes let him in and he jumps up next to me on the bed and stretches out. But I cannot do his claws, and had to ask the vet to do them.
This is my new girly, Rosie-Lee. I brought her home from the rescue that I volunteer for on Friday. I don't know where she came from, but had 2 babies with her. I chose her for no other reason than she would not rehome very quickly. The others are either fluffy,or attractive colours. She seems to be settling in really well. Is good to pick up, although she is a bit worried she doesn't thrash like Tetley does. Is this just because she is worried? and when she gains confidence she will tell us where to go?
Ok, so help needed.
1- the rabbits have a good sized run in the garden which is divided at the moment while they get used to each other. The gaps in wire are big enough for noses to poke right through. At night/evening they are in. I am alternating one in cage and one out. So they are always with each other but not 'together'. How long do I leave it? I haven't seen any bad reactions yet.
2 - clipping claws. how short? I did Rosie-Lee's tonight as a couple of her back ones were really long and starting to curl. I can't do Tetley's any hints?
butter wouldn't melt........aslong as he doesnt get picked up or feet touched.
