Young Bun
This isn't directly rescue related, but I thought I would share some cute photos of some newly acquired buns as desribed on our "reintroduction"
(read that as, failure to maintain details of present account and technical inability to retrieve the details as a result of NTL or forum problems!)
What I was also thinking was that if there was any interest in speaking to the Rugby rescue that *may* have space in a few weeks to home them, it may give fair notice.
Or at least, most of them - seeing as we are growing attached to at least one of them, especially Fizz
We have had the rabbits "signed over to us" in a letter so we are now the legal carers, and there is no possibility of comeback from the person who we rescued them from.
Please do NOT ask us to provide the rabbits directly, we won't accept any requests whatsoever no matter how loving the person is. For all we know it could be a shop, breeders or reptile owner.
The rabbits are being taken to an approved rescue home to be neutered and prepared for rehoming, which will be supervised by the rescue entirely for the qualification of a worthy home.
I am only putting the details on here, for interest only !!!
If I speak to them I might be able to provide the details of the rescue on the forum if anyone is very interested. Sorry to be a stickler, but we aren't looking to rehome directly otherwise we would have posted on the "rescue" forum.
I think the photos of photos I took works now ...

Here is a few samples
Bless, all too cute to want to give away !!!
I have asked Vicki to detail me some information about the rabbits in more detail, so she provided the following.
"Fizz"
Un-neutered male lop aged 21 months old. He has not been vaccinated. His coat is a bit fluffy especially round his head. Its mainly cream in colour with dark brown ears, front paws and nose. He is can be nervous at times due to not being used to be handled, but is very good-natured despite what he’s been through. He does come to the front of his cage for a nose rub when you feed him. At present he has a slight bald patch on his back due to a case of mites, which he may have had for some time but was left untreated (we are treating this and it seems to be responding well). Have been told that he has had overgrown teeth in the past but not sure to what extent and probably clipped with pliers by the ex-partner of the previous owner, just like the other two! However no obvious front teeth problems we could see. He has started being fed lots of hay, “Chudleys Rabbit Royale” along with carrot, fresh greens, apple and grass, dandelions. Not known what he was fed previously as previous owner changed it from week to week depending what was available in the supermarket.
"Stitch"
Un-spayed female lop approx age 3 to 4 years and is the mother of Fizz. She has also not been vaccinated. Mainly smooth coated but again fluffy round her neck and is brown/pale grey in colour. She is a bit on the quiet side, but soon livens up when she running around in the run outside. Have been advised that she may have some dental problems and in one incident the ex-partner of her previous owner clipped her teeth with a pair of pliers! Again teeth checked, don't look bad considering, eating well. Also not used to being handled and is can be a bit nervous. Have been told that she can be a bit bad tempered, but have seen no sign of this while we fostered her. She is being fed lots of hay, “Chudleys Rabbit Royale” along with carrot, fresh greens, apple and grass. Not known what she was fed previously as previous owner changed it from week to week depending what was available in the supermarket.
"Lilo"
Un-spayed female lop approx age 3 to 4 years and is the sister of Stitch. They do not get along with each other and have been kept separated. She has also not been vaccinated. Mainly smooth coated and is dark grey/white in colour. Have been advised that she may have some dental problems and in one incident the ex-partner of her previous owner clipped her teeth with a pair of pliers! Also not used to being handled and is a bit nervous at the moment. She loves being able to run around in the run outside. Have been told that she can be a bit bad tempered, but have seen no sign of this while we fostered her. She is being fed lots of hay, “Chudleys Rabbit Royale” along with carrot, fresh greens, apple and grass etc. Not known what she was fed previously as previous owner changed it from week to week depending what was available in the supermarket.
