"The girls" now named !! Update

I thought it best to start a new thread:wave:.............
As most of you know RU pulled together to get out 3 rabbits advertised on gumtree (full story in link below) unfortunately there were many more animals, not just rabbits that are still there
However this thread is to keep you updated on the two bonded females I have in my care, mother and daughter, one around 20ish months and one around 8ish months:roll:

I'm not sure if I'm keeping them, I'm taking in one day at a time, IF they were to be rehomed, they would have to go to a rabbit savvy person as they have been through so much, they need understanding.......but I might win the lotto before then and be able to afford a lovely house for them:lol:

First night here last night, they are petrified however they did explore last night and have pooped and eaten the veg I put in......they don't appear to like the pellets yet as used to muesli diet :roll:

A bit of thumping at me this morning and lots of eye popping and running around

I will post some photos later when the light is bit better, as I would love some natured based name suggestions :wave:

This is odd for me.....as I've never owned female rabbits :shock: or anything other than a Rex so when I do get to touch them, their fur feels weird :lol::lol:

Aww, well done for getting them out of there. I'm sure they'll soon settle down, and you'll fall in love with them my Dandy and Beano were very nervous when they came from the rspca, now I can stroke them but I haven't pushed them by trying to pick them up because they're still a bit skittish at times. Having said that Dandy jumped into the hay bag last night while I was filling up the racks :lol:

Was just thinking of you and the bristol "rescue"...

How are the girls? Pics?

I think I read on another post that you were feeling a bit down? Don't worry hun, it's just the emotion of it catching up... I'm sure bunnies are doing well... I wouldn't worry too much about how much they are eating presently as long as they are nibbling a little and their outputs are looking ok... They are settling in and prob not used to being so cared for. Xx

Well done for rescuing them. Look forward to pics and to thinking of names.

Update!

Ok, I just posted this on the other thread aswell, I'm still horrified!

The little silver one not eating and more interested in her from foot.....got hubby to hold her while I examined her foot only to find her nails were disgustingly long and her dew claw was so long it was curled right around into her foot :shock::shock: I've trimmed both their nails and given her some mertacam......if they are the age they said (20 months & 8 months) how the hell did their nails get like this :evil::evil:

Schez......I'm loving those names! I love love love tansy

The best things are: they are safe now, will learn how to be bunnies and that humans are capable of care, compassion and love.xx

They are so sweet

Cobweb and catkin.

I also like the name Tansy.

Gossemer and Tansy.

Love the name Cobweb.

They do look very scared. Bless them.

Thank goodness for people like you.

Enfys...rainbow (f pronounced as v, y pronounced as i)
Ffion...foxglove
Haf...summer (f pronounced as v)
Nia...brightness
Seren...star
Tanwen...white fire

Thank you

Any advice on getting them to eat pellets? And on their nervousness? I'm taking it very slow, visiting them little and often, soft voice, moving slow etc.........
