One of the vets at work, a Romanian lady, has a rabbit bought by her teenager son from P@H a few months ago. Now she (the lady) is moving 400 miles to another job, and of course can't take the rabbit as they are going into rented accommodation, so I've ended up with the bunny. She had nowhere else to turn. Bless him, I didn't want him, I don't want another one, I've just got one bonded pair left now. She bought him this morning, saying how much she loved him, how cute he is (he is) and how much it hurt her to part with him. She's sent me innumerable texts asking how I'm going to care for him, how is he, etc. All well and good you would think, but he is 8 months old, a buck, unnamed, unneutered, unvaccinated and worst of all absolutely covered in matts in his coat. He is an Angora cross with a fluffy, longish coat full of thick chunks of matted hair. His tail and lower back are just one matt. Goodness knows how I'm going to cope with it. He's quite nervous of me at the moment, so not going to push it. I think I may ask at the vets if they will shave him when I get him neutered. She said she has his paperwork (microchip) from P@H which she will leave at work for me. Am I right in thinking they give vouchers for neutering/vaccination?
He is a sweetie, I don't know what to do. She said several times 'put him in with yours, it'll be OK' I said no, they will fight! He's in a pen in the kitchen at the moment. Feel quite stressed about it TBH, might ask if the rescue will take him, but feel bad about palming him off on someone else.
