2 accidental newbies

Im a bit annoyed, i saw a 5ft double hutch for free, so decided to go get it :D. Got there and it was a 4ft rickety old thing, useless :(. Whats worse, it had 2 residents :roll:. Apparently the rabbits were meant to get collected, the person didnt turn up :roll::(. Male and female living together (have been for a year and she never had babies :? :shock:) badly under weight, not a piece of hay in sight :(. Needless to say, the two rabbits came home with me, as did the hutch, which will probably be firewood.

:(

I assume one is infertile then? I sexed them myself, and they are male and female.

One is a gorgeous BEW now called Winter, and the other a butterly tri colour cross called Branson Pickle :D.
Pictures later on :D they will be neutered and join my bonded 4, so much for no more, but then i have space and time, so why not?
 
I'm no expert on this, but I believe that. Rabbits that are undernourished, overly stressed ect can reabsorb litters or hold them until such a time that they can safely give birth. If these two poor loves are in a bit of a state you may want to look into spaying as soon as is safe for her as you giving her a suitable diet and accomodation might just kicks start her reproductive system :?

Well done for saving them! Some people are just :evil::evil::evil:

Thank you Hele, i have booked them in for neuters, the soonest i could get was one on the 11th and one on the 12th December.
I hope she is not pregnant, the poor love :(. I couldnt leave them there :(.
 
Nope I don't think I could have either, it's so lovely that you are able to give them a real home :love::love::love:

The 11th and 12th is not that far away.... But that is going to turn into one very expensive, but non existent, new hutch! :shock:

as above - we did this and assumed female neutered - she wasnt - as she proved (with Parsley) as soon as she felt better!!!

Thats very true, the hutch was meant to be a foster hutch, so its not the end of the world (i have 5 foster spaces already) but 2 neuters was not on the planned cash spendature, especially not at christmas, but hey ho, these bunnies come first :D. Luckily i have space for the newbies due to shed renovation :D.
 
What a relief you went for the hutch. It was around this time of year I got Millie and she had no hay either. How can you leave buns in this weather with no hay? Anyway, they are safe now!:love:
 
:cry: poor bunnies, thank god you went to get the hutch or they'd be really stuck!

Bet they'll have bad teeth from the lack of hay :? some owners make me want to punch a wall!
