Well...we went to collect him.
When we got there, there were too teeny netherland dwarf babies in the living room sitting in a shoe box - one male one female.
Both of them, the boy in paticular, have problems with their hips and back legs. The female also has problems with her eyes and *could* be blind.
So, we have brought them both home. The lady had bred her netherland dwarf with another as she had people who wanted babies
shock
. Her female had 3 babies and 2 of them have problems so she has decided not to breed.
The babies and their mum were living in a 4x3ft hutch with a guinea pig. I enquired about the other baby but she has a home to go to already.
It's s shame as the woman seemed really nice and genuine...just misinformed and a bit clueless! She said she has had a lot of interest in the 'disabled' baby but wanted to choose the right person as she felt some of them didn't seem genuine. She says they are around 6 weeks old and were seperated from mum last week :shock:
They are living indoors at the moment and have started to tuck into some hay
I will post pics of them once they are settled and been to the vets. I really don't know what the future hold for these 2. Luckily, our vet is VERY rabbit savvy and I trust her 100% so we will see what she says. As long as they are happy and not in pain, we will do all we can for them.
