Snowy
*Age- 1
*Breed- French lop cross
*Marking- dilute chinchilla of some sort, but a beautiful mix of flecks and creams and grays
*Sex- Female
*Vaccinated- Yes
*Spayed- Yes
*Arrived- November 2011
Snowy arrived in our care as part of a large rescue in November 2011 after her owners were no longer able to meet her needs. She is a large, but very beautiful girl. Her previous owners told us she was roughly one year old.
Snowy arrived exceptionally overweight with open, weeping sores on her feet and some horrible urine scald. Since being with us Snowy has gone from strength to strength and clearly feels better than ever. She has lost 1kg to date and her feet are healing up brilliantly. Her urine scald quickly resolved itself after she arrived.
Since arriving at the Centre Snowy has shown herself to have a hugely massive personality. She is totally into everything, all the time. She knows her mind and follows it. She is also very keen for strokes and attention and has no fear of people. She is totally confident and will let you know if you offend her by giving you a 'look' (such as by shutting her back in her area after letting her have a run time).
Snowy was reserved, however, due to an extreme change in circumstances on Snowy's part, her potential adopter has had to sadly change her mind.
Snowy has proven that when she is with another rabbit, she is exceptionally demanding and persistant and no matter what the other rabbit does to cope with this, she still wants more. She also nips harder and harder to try and get what she wants (which is a fuss).
Therefore, Snowy needs to currently go as a single rabbit and she will need to live indoors.
Snowy has been living indoors at her foster home and is generally pretty good. She has exemplary litter habits and has shown no interest in wires or destroying things (although we can not guarantee it will always be this way). All she wants is to be loved (and to explore, especially places she feels she shouldn't).
As a large bunny (roughly around 5.5kg now and stable) with the mind of a young bunny (which is full of energy, full of life, loves charging aruond and binkying- not the laid back attitude of your average large bunny) she will need a lot of space, that is safe for her to run around in, to binky onto, off of, and around.
I can't explain how amazing this bunny is. She has so much to give to someone, and will be such a lovely addition to any home. That said, she will need a very experienced home. She has had dental issues, she has malformed eyes that will need a close 'eye' kept on them and she also has some minor behaviour issues (which can involve nibbling or nipping to get attention- this is ignored here). The health issues will just need monitoring and care when appropriate, and her behaviour issues are essentially that prior to going into foster care she learnt that chewing clothes, feet, legs and anything else got her a fuss, so the nibbling and nipping comes from her learning that gets her needs met. Her foster carer is working on these issues but it will likely take Snowy a long time to lose this learnt behaviour.
Can you offer this one in a million bunny a one in a million home?
To adopt from RSPCA Martlesham, you will first need to come and meet the bunny/ies you are interested in. You will be asked to fill in the appropriate forms. We will then arrange a time when our home visitor can meet with you for a chat, and to make sure that your accommodation meets our requirements. You will also be provided with a free Rabbit Information Pack. If you want to adopt a single rabbit to bond with a lonely rabbit of your own, then after the home visit you will be asked to bring your rabbit (provided s/he is fully vaccinated and neutered/spayed) to the Centre to ‘date’ the rabbit you wish to adopt.
The Centre is open:
Monday- 11.30-3.30
Tuesday- 11.30-3.30
Wednesday- Closed all day
Thursday- 11.30-3.30
Friday- 11.30-3.30
Saturday- 11.30-3.30
Sunday- 1.30-3.30 (available by appointment only).
Please note that whilst you may express an interest in a rabbit, we can only reserve rabbits after the home check has been carried out.
Other information:
• All rabbits adopted from us are spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated (against both Myxomatosis and VHD) whilst in our care.
• We ask for 50sq ft of permanent access space for a pair of rabbits.
• You can find out more about the home visit at the bottom of the following link http://flashsplace.webs.com/rspcavolunteering.htm
Disclaimer: All the information displayed on this page is up to date at the time of uploading. We try to keep everything as up to date as possible, however, there is always the possibility that the situation has changed (for example, if a rabbit has died, or divorced, or been bonded, or adopted), so please feel free to visit our Centre to see exactly what we have at the time you are looking to adopt.
