Caring for a blind bunny

missblondebunny · Apr 13, 2006

hi all

ive got a blind bunny coming to me on saturday... ive never looked after a blind bunny before.

is there anything that i need to do differently? i know it will take her a while to settle in and for her to find her way around...

has anyone else got a blind bunny? is there anything i should know?

JCO, Jane, should be able to help you as she has a blind bunny

Sorry I can't help, but was just wondering how it became blind (or was it blind from birth)?

blind from birth ive been told

(app it took her 3 weeks to figure out she was blind - which i can understand)

i thought scampie was blind at first as he was always bumping into things, turns out his just blonde, like his mum :lol: :lol: :lol: (although im not blonde no more - its all grown out

)

:lol: )

and with his 2 brothers (leo doesn't get on with scampie no more - so i had to seperate them)

When you clean him/her you need to make sure you replace things like bowls and bottle back in exactly the same place.

Otherwise the bun might have trouble drinking, eating ect

One other thing I can think of, off the top of my head is always make sure you speak to bun before trying to pick him/her up, stroking or putting hands in cage.

Good luck and pictures when he/she arrives

Love the bum pic and the 3 of them chilling out together. Looks like they're watching TV, err, but without the TV. :lol:

bum pics

those pics are pretty sweet! I can't help but notice the feet and bum are pretty clean too.. I was wondering if Oscars a normal baby rabbit (maybe 3 months or a little more) or a really dirty little git. He is always pooping (but I guess he is always eating too) and his feet and belly are often really dirty, yellowish from pee and sometimes with other things..

If you used photoshop to "clean up" the pics you can PM instead of publishing it for everybody

I just hope that one day Oscar can jump around on my sofa without me feeling like im in his litter tray.
