Zoe (the stray) - 1 week on...

Original post - see below for update...

Here are are a couple of pics of Zoe after I caught her yesterday... (see post "help catching a stray" in rabbit care forum) http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/tam/viewtopic.php?t=16273&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

All snug in my fleecey jacket...


Sussing out the garden...


She's surprisingly loving and tame considering she's lived wild for about a year. I've got a video clip, I'm trying to find a way to show it on here

UPDATE - Here's the vid: http://www.vimeo.com/clip=44670

UPDATE - ONE WEEK ON:

Ok, I've had a week now. After a couple of days of rain, she didn't want to know me, and when I let her out she kept trying to jump the wall! I've spent a lot of time trying to earn back her trust and now she's as good as gold - she goes up to the wall to eat the weeds, then she comes back and jumps over my legs. She loves hiding under things (because she was living under a scrap car), so I've put her run on breeze blocks and she loves it like that (she went under the decking and I couldn't find her!) don't have any trouble getting her back in either, she's so nosey if I move anything inside her run she's got to go in and look!


Here are my latest videos and pics, she's so much more tame now, she loves the fuss she's getting!

She loves to be stroked and flops over onto her back...

She really likes her fleecy blanket...

She's surprisingly a normal weight too! Has someone been feeding her for that time, or has she just managed for herself?

She's so pretty!

She's lovely, just make sure she doesn't jump over the wall! One of mine jumped over a 1m fence! :shock:

awwww shes adorable

As far as I know, she's been living off grass and weeds - apparently she's been in everyone's garden and at least one man complained that she's been chewing his wiring and he threatened to report her (to who I don't know), so lucky I got her before they did huh!

I've been feeding her for the past few weeks but she was a pretty good size before then - she's a very resourceful little bunny lol!

She's like a little local hero, days ago she was like a tourist attraction, people were stopping and trying to spot her, I can't wait to tell everyone in work tomorrow, I was starting to think I'd never catch her.

BTW, the vids up, not very exciting, just her running and jumping over me when I was taming her:

The bit where she looks like she is biting - she was trying to pull my glove off, so I gave it her but she didn't want it then!

Awwww what a lovely girl!!! Its so amazing how tame she has become after all she's been through!! I'm waiting for the video to upload now !!!

xxxx

She looks like she was having great fun!!

Binky did the same thing too. He's quite the jumping lunatic. :lol:

Aaw - thats amazing, a great story She really is a pretty little thing isnt she - well done for catchingher

That is a great vidoe, she is one happy bunny :lol:

My "namesake" I'm not a "stray bunny" though

Lovely pix and she sounds like a complete gem. Gorgeous colouring as well x

.

well done she looks lovely

She's a very pretty girle

Its incedible that she has survived all of that time and looks a picture of health!


How is she when she is put in a hutch/run? as she is used to so much freedom is she trying to get out??

I bet she must feel so much safer now - she could probably never relax before!

What's her name going to be??
