I first saw the day my older bunny Charlie died. He was in the pet shop were I get my dog food. He was with his borthers and sisters who were all brown and his mum was there. The lady in the shop said he was 5 weeks old. He was a quarter the size of the others and seemed to be in the corner all the time. I went home and thought about him all night and how wrong it was being under all that stress of being in a pet shop so young. I spoke to my mum the next morning about him and she was thinking the same as me. We went back to the shop and asked how much he was she said £15 but couldn't have him till he was 8 weeks. I gave her the money and was hopefull that I could give him a better life. I went back every couple of days and when i couldnt I got my mum or brother to go in and check he was ok.
My brother rang me at work and said e was still there but the mum had gone! He was only 6 weeks old. I went to the shop and she said she had gone back to the owners. After a long and heated conversation Buddy was in a box and coming back to my house. He was cold and very nervous and sat in on my mums chest for ages nudging her and climbing into her cardigan.
After a few days we noticed runny eyes and knew it wasnt right took him the vets and after alot of tests and worrying he told me that Buddy dosent have tear ducts and he just cries. It does not hurt him but needs his face cleaning regularly. While we were there we found he had a damaged back foot aswell. It tends to lie behind him when he is moving. but he can run jump and move it. The vet said it is like a weak joint.
I am so glad that I went and saw him cos i do worry about what could have happened to him. he loves his cuddles and still tries to get into my mums cardigan. sorry it is so long but I talk for ages. I do not normally get my bunnies from pet shops but he was just so cute and needed loving. He fit in the palm of my hand when i got him.
