6 new bunnies in rescue *new pics post 26*

We had a spare hutch in foster care so today I went to collect 'a single rabbit'. I got to the property and the lady said she had 5 other rabbits. Firstly she bought 2 down from upstairs. They were mean't to be a pair but as soon as she put the down on the sofa they started attacking each other :? She then went on to say they only went together a few days ago and she normally rotates the rabbits round in different pairs every few weeks :shock: I picked the one bunny up and the lady said, 'oh that one has sore feet', i turned her over and she has the most sore feet i have ever seen poor poor girl. I put them in my basket and the lady took me out the back to see the others.

Well.... 3 2ft hutches. 1 double. 1 single with the mesh side facing the wall so no light is getting in. She pulled the one out and there were these 3 bunnies staring at me No hay, straw, sawdust just a wooden hutch floor with puddles of wee gathering leaking through to the cage underneath

Needless to say all 6 bunnies came home with me.

Bessie underneath


Me and Vicky had to bath Bessie and Bruce as they were sopping with wee

Barnaby


Girly with no name yet


and then Vicky (x-vic-x) has the dutch lop girly who has the very sore feet, and an agouti girl.

All 6 buns are off to the vets tomorrow for health checks and vaccs if they are well enough

poor darlings

thank goodness you got them all out. will check back to see how they are xxx

aww poor things Thank goodness they are with you now! Where are they staying if you only had one hutch?

well done you for taking them all..they must feel better already
They are all lovely and if you are sticking with Bs for names how about Belle for the last girl ( we've had a Bessie in recently too!)

Thank goodness you were there to help them. Absolutely shocking!!!:evil:

Well, the pair are in the 6ft hutch which was already and waiting for a bun, we have 2 singles in 5ft hutches which are normally piggy hutches but we have very few piggies in at the moment, and then the other 2 went to Vicky who luckily has some bunnies reserved to go the weekend so they will soon be in 6ft hutches. They are all in much better accommodation than they were before and at least they are now getting the basics, water and hay

Thank you Jill. Belle is a pretty name! Watch this space She'll soon be Belle! x

So sorry to see the state of those feet: what a turnaround in events!

Bessie makes me think of my Esme (whose nickname is BEssie). It breaks my heart to think of someone with her spirit living in conditions like that

Thank god they are safe now

They are all beautiful and wow I bet they don't know what's hit them landing on their paws with you and lots of lovely hay.

Looking forward to progress reports.

Well done for helping these poor bunnies, it beggars belief how some people treat their rabbits, I am sure that they are feeling must better now

poor rabbits well done for getting them out

Poor bunnies They're all so beautiful. Well done for getting them out of there. She rotates the pairings?! What?! :shock:

Oh Poor things they look lovely

So sad. I'm so glad they are with you now. xx

Poor Bessie's little feet. :shock:

Poor bunnies I'm so glad you've rescued them. Paws crossed for the vet checks and vacs.

Poor bunnies! Belle is a good name

Poor little buns - I'm so pleased that you were there to help.

Hope to read of their progress, they must think they are in heaven already

Best wishes

Ruth xx
