I didn't tick the first column though, because although they were intentional, had good homes not been found for them they all would have stayed where they were. They weren't irresponsibly bred for money.
All of their rabbits have now been spayed and neutered and after learning of my bunnies and the other one with terrible issues, there were no further litters, only ever the one. .
I haven't ticked any boxes though because although she was deliberately bred I don't know enough to form an opinion as to whether her parents had bad genes they passed on or if she was just unfortunate.
The ** may mean something nice
I am so happy to hear they are not being bred any more. I am glad they cared enough.
I just get the feeling Pets@Home are still using the same line Tulip and Tiesto are from and that makes me so mad. But I guess you told the breeder, who would tell P@H:?
Fudge Sky Blackie and Gizmo have all had dentals.
Giz is from the first litter and the other 3 from the last.
It was accidental as mum and dad were both "Female"
Mum and dad have had no dentals and havent had many health problems but all babies i kept (2 were given away) have had many health problems all related to dentals and or gut problems
Fudge has the worst of all, bad dental disease and is a very colicy bun causing lots of gas and always in stasis. Blackie had dentals regularly and no inscisors, constant watery eyes and died of an impaction in his gut.
SKy and Giz have had one or two dentals, sky lives with 1 watery eye and they havent had any other problems (touch wood)
Yes, I'm good friends with who I got the babies from. They had no indication as to any issues and so it never occured that this would happen. So of course, I told them and I am in contact with the other bunny's mummy, so they know how he is too. They were incredibly responsible, they have four bunnies now, all are neutered and happy.
Daphne has dental issues. She now has no front teeth (well, that's not technically true, one snapped at the root during removal so it's steadily growing back).
She came from a pet shop that bred their own rabbits. They're an awful shop, no standards of care what-so-ever. My conti came from there also and he had syphillis after being their breeding buck for six months.
I wish I'd known how rubbish they were sooner.
Deliberate litter from a well-thought of show rabbit breeder. :roll:
I have no idea about the backgrounds of any my dental buns.
Kirkby rescue get quite a lot of BRC rung pedigree rabbits with dental problems BTW
