Hopper Haven Bunnies - Bunny 055 Bo

Wise Old Thumper
Bo is a siamese sable cashmere mini lop doe. She arrived in February 2010 in a filthy matted mess.
Her owner was heavily pregnant and could not manage to look after her or her sister Peep anymore.
They were four years old. Underneath the matts that we shaved off she had enlarged teats that were discharging fluid and splinters of hay that had pierced her skin and caused inflammation and irritation.
Her bottom was a filthy ball of muck that had to be cut off with scissors with great care. Washing a rabbit in that state just makes things worse. The fur has to come off so no more can stick to it. If it had been later in the year she would certainly have had flystrike. When she was spayed a tumour was found and removed.

Bo is a very feisty girl. She was bullying her sister so they were sperated, but she attacked every rabbit she was tried with and kept getting herself injured. She never hurt the other rabbits, just incited them to violence and needed to be patched up again afterwards. Finally she paired with Barley who had no front teeth. He was perfect for her as he wouldn't let her bully him but couldn't hurt her either. Her attitude is far worse than her bite! Sadly Bailey passed away suddenly and Bo was alone for over a year as HH could not find anybun to get along with her, until Bear came along, they seem smitten with each other.
Maybe she has mellowed, or maybe he is who she was holding out for all along! Despite her argumentative nature she is a friendly sweet little creature with people. She has to be groomed frequently, and her bottom kept trimmed. She also has head tilt. She and Bear live in the barn.
