A friend of mine brought me two rabbits today from a friend of hers. One was actually hers, the other she had 'rescued'. The previous people were going to give him to a greyhound trainer :shock: They had fed him mainly on chocolate spread sandwiches :shock: But he wasn't much better off afterwards. He is agonisingly thin and was matted and dirty when he arrived this morning. His front teeth are a mess, his claws were curling around and up, except those that had broken off, and I dread to think what his back teeth will be like I have groomed him and given him soggy pellets to eat, with apple which he seems to like. He was not impressed by the grated carrot. He will go to the vet tomorrow.
The other rabbit arrived with a huge pancake of poo attached to her bottom, about 10cm across :evil: She hasn't much of a tail left now I have removed it. She doesn't have proper front teeth, just two tiny pegs on top, and one on the bottom with a rotten top. At some point she has seen a vet about them and I am wondering if an attempt at removing them was made :?: She also has a weepy eye, so it doesn't look good for her back teeth. She isn't too thin, but the woman apparently forgot to feed her for a few *weeks* :!: :!: :!: So she must have been very fat to begin with - and indeed her mucky bottom and loose skin point to this. She had a sister with her until the summer. The maggots got her This poor girl is only a year old. She was last years Christmas present for the woman's daughter. The child - only 8 - was supposed to feed her etc :roll:
They are both darling rabbits. The girlie is Rosie and the male is now Rowan. Apparently his name was a nasty rude one before :x Here they are:
Rosie
Rowan
And here are their front teeth :x
Rosie
Rowan
And here is one section of what was stuck to poor Rosie's bottom :x
I knew my good luck in never having had a rabbit with bad teeth couldn't hold :roll: :?
People make me sick :x :x :x :x
