Ooo I feel such a proud bunny mummy thanks to you all.
Honeybunny I'm fascinated that Thumper has never been the same colour after any moult. He's always darker in summer, always has black points, & his hocks are always grey. One winter he was a gorgeous siamese colour, but never again.
What colour is Thumper? "Erm ... well he's never been white -yet!) His raggy ear is from gangrene from a horse fly bite.
Can anyone explain it to me? Even the vet asks "what colour is he this time?"
A few of you have commented on his food. He has an amazing instinct to know what to eat on a daily basis to survive, & how to avoid dysbiosis, which he gets with any human veg now. I don't know how he's still alive. He couldn't even absorb water from his gut in Spring. I just put it down for him & he does the daily pick & mix. His SSpellets are soaked to increase fluid intake - he never has more than 1/2 his daily ration. I put a few drops of lemon juice in his water for Vit C.
Thumper's dining table - well you'd use a tray to get it all upstairs!
fom left to right
wild oats. sowthistle. raspberry leaves. dandelion. dry ribwort. dry greater plantain.
SS pellets soaked in water. water bowl with lemon +aviproplus(flavouring without sugar). sloe leaves are NOT confirmed as bunny safe - but we're desperate & they work wonders for us.
I just keep them topped up as he eats them. He's almost stopped the wild oats now. I reckon he can't digest the grasses now. Goodness only knows how he manages the rest!:shock:
