Snowy

20111222_111.jpg

*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.

How gorgeous is she, sounds like a proper little madam!

Hope she gets a new home very soon!

She really is a madam :D The change from the sad, hurting bunny that arrived has been immense. She is just absolutely wonderful and will make a lovely addition to any home that knows what picklish rabbits can be like (or heeds the warnings :lol:).

She lights up our day, every day.

Gorgeous, I love a bun with attitude!
 
She is stunning! Now I wish I had made my setup bigger as her attitude would go well with Buzzby! Im sure someone will come with the perfect home soon for such a bold and friendly bunny.

If you're interested in adopting from us then don't lose heart. We have some other lovely bunnies for adoption- not quite in Snowy's league picklish wise, but all lovely and individual. We have Tumble, and we also have two lovely ladies called Crystal and Fluffy who are bonded and in quarantine, but came in as part of a trio; sadly, we lost Inca when she was spayed. They are small and compact. We also have Thumper and Merry who have oodles of personality and have been part of a quad previously. I'm sure that if you did want to adopt from us we could find the right bunny for Buzzby :)
 
Thank you for the 'bump' :)

Snowy is now out of quarantine and showing her beautiful personlity off amazingly. She is just such a special rabbit and no words can do her justice.

She weighed 6.4kg when she came in, and, when last weighed on 24th Dec, she weighed 4.8kg and is now a healthy weight. Her feet are healed too.

Despite not being used to space Snowy absolutely loves it! The world will never be big enough for her.

As a rabbit on the larger side, one would also expect that she doesn't like to be handled, yet Snowy is very agreeable to be picked up and cuddled and loved on as much as anyone wants to. She loves fuss and strokes on the ground too, and also causing great mayhem. She has shown that one of her favourite games is chasing shoes and chewing shoes and shoelaces- this can lead to a good 'dance' from whoever she is chasing.

Snowy has slightly deformed tearducts. They don't cause her much problem but any one who adopts her will need to be aware of this and just 'keep an eye' (excuse the pun) on them to ensure they remain clean and don't get infected.

Snowy is truly sensational and such an engaging girl that you can't help but fall in love with her; we have yet to find someone who has met her that hasnt been completely taken in by her. She's one in a million. Is she your one in a million?

These photos show her off much better than the others.

Snowy has a 'hilarious' new game. She chases feet/shoes and chews and moves them until she gets fuss and attention. It's a very smart trick to learn but she is causing some damage to our shoes!

These are her poorly eyes. She is currenly quite sore in them so they are being bathed to try and ensure they stay clean.

Here is crazy Snowy. She is having a rough time with her eyes at the moment. Her nose is also damp but we suspect those two things are related to the malformation of her tearducts.

She's extra snuggly and cuddly at the moment. She is desperate for a friend. Hopefully she will get one soon.
