Hello guys,
So it’s been a while! My rabbits (Leafy & Ivy) have settled in nicely and getting used to life with us. Ivy is still VERY cautious of humans and no amount of lying down and getting on with my own business will coax her to come investigate without there being food involved. So going too close or being touch is an absolute no go. Make brushing and checking her over and generally everything stress inducing but I have faith. Slow it goes. Boundaries boundaries.
Side note: I had some pellets in my hand two nights ago and was holding it a bit too high up as I was looking over at Leafy. Ivy stood on her back paws and rested her fronts on my hand so she could munch away!
To the actual reason I’m posting!
I am unable to drive though I intend to learn ASAP. Funds are low as I’ve had to use my savings to survive the pandemic and....the pandemic. But I DO cycle. I was pondering whether a bike pet trailer with a solid bottom and having them in the classic hard plastic pet carrier would be way too stressful? My vet is a 35 minute walk away, so with a pet stroller, I feel like it’s a long time of travelling for them.
I’m aware taxi’s exist but I’m very conscious at the minute as I’m very vulnerable - I might have had my jab but I’m still cautious.
I’ve found a few trailers that have an attachment so that if the bike fell over, the trailer will remain upright. Just reaching out for opinions really!
EDIT: Does anyone live in York and have a recommendation for vets? I’m located in Heworth Without, just before you hit the mile or two stretch of fields and few houses between me and Stockton ont’ forest. Maybe there’s vets I do not know about? RWAF only shows one rabbit savvy place and that’s in Stamford Bridge (or somewhere like that - outside of York essentially.
Ivy is the Nethie and Leafy is the Tricolour/Tan.
