Poor Smurfy's splay legs

My darling Smurf lives indoors in a cage with a large hay litter tray (which is used as a nest :roll a piece of carpet and about 6 inches plus the width of the cage lined with newspaper for wee wees.

Everyday, weather permitting she free ranges on the grass. As the weather had been wet for a couple of days and Smurf & CoCo hadn't been out to stretch their legs I thought I would let them have some time in Snow and Treacle's run attached to their shed. Snow and Treacle have access to it 24/7 when it's not mid-winter so I thought locking them in the shed for a couple of hours to let Smurf and CoCo out wouldn't hurt them.

While in the run I could see how bad Smurfy's splay legs are. On grass she does really well and not too bad on carpet but on paving stones or smooth fabric she has litle control over her legs. It's very sad







More control on carpet



Still doesn't stop the little mite from trying to play



On grass she can hop around quite well and at a reasonable pace but she can't run or binky.

It's so sad I love her so much and I know she is going to break my heart

Ah poor little girl, glad she has a loving mummy to watch over her x

Aww the poor darling she is lucky she has you to take care of her xxx

awww, i am glad it doesn't stop her having fun though she's well loved

Aww, poor little girly,
Shes lucky to have you and Coco to look after her xx

Thank you. She is so skinny and tiny and beautiful

She's a beautiful and brave bunny

oh what a shame I have heard of this before but im not quite sure what it is, is it some sort of bone deformity? If you dont mind me asking She looks like shes coping with it very well.

Bless her

but mummy is right ...you are sooooooo beautiful and im so looking forward to my snuggles

Awh poor smurfy.

She's very lucky to have such a wonderful mummy to look after her

Poor gorgeous girl!
However, she doesn't seem to be miserable!
Are you fostering her for ever?

Awww she is very lucky to have someone like you to look after her!

I'm sorry she struggles though, poor bun

she's beautiful, and is inspiring to see

Its heartbreaking, but at the same time heartwarming, if you know what I mean? Even though she is so tiny and has these problems, she still enjoys her life and loves being with her sister. I hope she stays with you for a long time.

I love seeing photos of Smurf and Coco Chanel

Awe bless her, what a little sweetie You never know with all that love and care she might surprise everyone! She's clearly got a lot of spirit!
