BB Mommy
Warren Veteran
Chewbacca (now renamed Chervil) was bought to Hopper Haven 3 weeks ago.
He is a stunningly beautiful boy, and only 9 months old, but he had never been groomed by his owner. He was bought to us as the owner didn't want to take him to the vet to be shaved.
Louise took one look at his condition and got the owner to sign him over to us.
The coat that was shaved off him was almost an inch thick mass, like a sheep fleece, and absolutely riddled with fur mites. He must have been so uncomfortable, and every single move he made the mass of fur tugged at his skin.
We didn't pause to take a "before" photo, but here is the "after" photo.......
The mass of fur
Because its cold we thought it best to get him bonded as soon as possible, so last week he made friends.....
(Please note that they are in a bonding pen, not their final home which will be a large enclosure....and its not wee on the back wall but chopped straw that has caught on the bricks!!)
