Wise Old Thumper
Some of you will recall the thread about a bun on preloved in Wakefield.

He was in one of those very small 3 ft indoor cages with only a tray of cat litter and no hay or rabbit food at all - he had been there a year - ever since someone got him for their grandchild and they lost interest . .
much as one cannot save all the buns in the world this little chap looked so very sad . . so between myself and Angie65 . . we got him out of there . . . Angie 65 said it was even worse than it looked on the photo - there were three dogs in the room banging on the cage, the place was uuuurrrgggghhhh, and they had never fed him rabbit food.
He has now come to me, and when well enough will go onward to a new home which is lined up . . (we had a few offers and we chose one with most space and the chance to be outside after such a cramped start in life ).
Unfortunately he is really very very small for his age still - feels like a 4 month old rather than a year - no muscle or anything, and so it will be a while before I trust him to be neutered -
Apparently at first he was totally petrified and shook like a leaf if you touched him - but today, his first day with us after a 3 hour drive this morning, he was gaining more confidence and did not run away into a corner everytime you looked at him.
He loves his hay and was amazed to see all the other rabbits running round!!
Here is the little chap -
he has lovely fuzzy ears and a little mane . .
a happy end for this little 'starfish' at least . . .
PS the hairy arms are my partners not mine:lol:
PPS the carry cage shot was just when he first arrived - he is now in a Forsham arks very large hutch - the 7ft x3ft ones.
