2 bunnies were advertised "free to good home" on facebook. I was concerned as they apparently had to go together, one is a doe and one a buck and neither are neutered. :shock: I decided to post and say that I may be able to help but I would need to see them first, they said on facebook that they had 3 hutches and whoever took the buns could pick one for them. I have managed to convince them to give me two of the hutches in case the doe is pregnant, I only want to the hutches because I have nothing to keep them in otherwise. The hutches are really not suitable for a bunny and I would not want them in there for more than a week.
I went to visit the bunnies today. The buck is a lionhead called Jasper (all grey with such a cute white nose!) and the other is a black nethie called Poppy. Jasper is deifinitely a buck and I'm almost 100% sure Poppy is a doe, the owners said they've been together a year with no kits and seen them "doing the business". :shock: She didn't seem pregnant to me but I'm no expert when it comes to pregnant bunnies. When I picked them up they are horribly underweight they weigh nothing and are just bags of bones . I just said to the owner that they are a bit skinny (huge under statement) but otherwise look ok.
I can take them to the rescue I volunteer at but only temporarily! As some people may know the rescue doesn't specialise in bunnies and these 2 really need some tlc, we are also in between sites and it's not practical to keep more bunnies when the owner struggles with the animals she already has. Can anybody possibly help? I can transport so far but obviously not miles away.
I am really concerned about these 2 and Jasper is such a sweet bunny. Poppy is a little skitish and doesn't seem to like being handled much but I think she would settle down in no time. By the sounds of it they didn't really have much to do with Poppy, handling wise. If I can't find them somewhere then who knows where they will end up.
