I woke up for work at 6:15am as usual and got ready to sort out the rabbits by 7:10am. Our cat Skunk was sat outside one of two patio doors crying to come in the be fed her breakfast while I was still trying to sort my own breakfast out. Just as I looked into the garden, I saw both run lids were wide open, but I thought to myself "I definatly closed them last night didn't I? I'm almost 100% certain I did because I remember checking before I go in as always". So just as I was about to rush out to check on the rabbits I glanced at my noisy cat and saw one of my rabbits run out from behind her and stood next to her!!!!!! I paniced like never before because my first thought was, how the HELL did she get out of the run even with the lids wide open, and two, who else has gotten out too"? I called Bellas name and she paused, looked at me with her pricked up ears and seems to relax a little. In a panic I picked her up, quite roughly I must admit, and put her in the run and closed the lids. Luckily the other 3 were still inside their runs! Bella was fine and ate her breakfast happily and was running and jumping as normal so my vets said just to watch her droppings over the next 12/24 hours. The strange thing is, she's only a Nethi, a very tiny one too, and the run is 3ft high at it's tallest! Luckily, Skunk isn't bothered by the rabbits at all and I believe Skunk would have kept her safe during the hours she was out as they were side by side. It dreads me to think what could have happened as we have a very busy road infront of our house which is very accessable for small animals down our ally way.....which was where they orriginally came out from.
I'm just SOOOOOO thankful all was ok in the end. Bella is unfortunatly the "runt" in the group and Blossom, our other Nethi, is the leader. So when I watched Bella re-unite with her group, it was so beautiful to see Blossom sat so tightly next to her grooming Bellas face in comfort. Blossom is usually hasseling her from time to time, so to see grooming of those two was magical.
Any one elseo got any other heart sicking storys which ended up lovely?
