Today I went from 0 bunny to 3!!!
I found Snowy on Rabbit Rehome, a Giant X, although grossly overweight with rather sore hocks, at 5 he is an utter delight, and I'm so pleased with what a great house bunny he'll make.
Earlier on in the week I enquired about 2 Contis going free to a good home. On my way back this person had rung me and I agreed to look. She mentioned their deformity over the phone which concerned my badly so I agreed to make the extra journey.
These bunnies were actually from a breeder. They cannot function properly AT ALL, constantly falling over and can not support their heads. The REW (now named Roger, thanks to my house mate :lol: ) is very slight which two horrifically splayed back legs. He has no control over his head function. Roger's mum had 9 kits and killed every single one apart from Roger and he only survived as he was lodged and stuck in the corner of the hutch(?!) he was then put on a mini lop and kept in a 3x1ft hutch with 2 minis. When I first saw Roger I was highly disturbed at his bodily functions.
Then the breeder bought Ralph out who was kept in the same sized hutch but on his own. Ralph is a very spirited character. Although his head rolling is bad and does fall over, he has more bodily control than Roger. The breeder said how she won't be able to sell them so giving them away for free to good home. Admittedly I did only want one for Snowy but I couldn't leave Ralph.
They are both 14 weeks old and HUGE. They are already the same size as Snowy. The breeder was told they can grow out of the deformity due to their neck muscles being weak and their ears being too heavy?
You'll be pleased to hear all 3 bunnies are home safe. Roger and Ralph had an explore in the garden. You can tell they've never been able to hop properly, their bodily control is quite disturbing and fall over a lot. I've never met a bunny quote like Ralph. He was chasing my dogs, digging, chewing, chin rubbing and even did a binky.
Roger and Snowy are snuggled up together in their hay box and Ralph is flopped out next to the sofa.
They're amazing, but is this something you guys have heard of??
