Little Pascale was handed in to a vets when he was found as a stray . He was covered in horrendous scabs and bite wounds all over his sides . The bites were most likely from other rabbits and its likely he had had a horrid life until that point being bullied and bitten and confined in a small hutch with several other rabbits.
Little Pascale was a nervous wreck . Terrified of everything and difficult to even touch let alone pick up .

One of his wounds became infected and turned into an abcess . But we spotted it quickly and had it removed .

He is now all healed up and fit and well . He has been neutered and is starting to trust .
He is close to Tracey and will now let her pick up and handle him and even enjoys a cuddle .

Pascale is a special , brave little soul...and we want a special home for this little man . A home where he will be loved for the rest of his life .

Poor boy :cry: he's lovely. Has he got a white leg? Couldn't tell if he has or if it's the light :oops::lol:
 
so wish i could help all the rabbits who need a home but this little lad seems like he really deserves a wonderful new home:cry:
 
I'm very tempted but it's a long way to Essex and he'd probably be better off with less of a journey :( Is he living outside at the moment?
 
I'd seriously consider offering to take him if a bunnyrun could be arranged. Honeybunny Falcon :love:travelled down from Scotland recently but I think that journey was in stages. He would be joining a large group and I'm concerned that would be daunting for him, although it's not like being trapped in a hutch with aggressive rabbits, and our recent addition Mole, who is a similar size, fitted in seamlessly to the high status group without raising an eye-brow!

At night he could have a hutch to himself if he preferred that, or I have several lone males and females he could join. They're all part of one of two mini-colonies during the day but sleep either in hutches or the shed for darkness hours only.

This pic was taken part way down the garden, so it's actually a bit bigger than it looks here, and the buns free-range all day. Because it's in the country foxes are quite timid/touch wood - I looked carefully for pawprints in the snow in the surrounding fields last week (thanks for the tip Parsnipbun :wave:) and found none at all. We have two small dogs who never touch the rabbits and someone is in almost all the time.

I'm not sure if it is the right set-up for him, and the distance complicates it too, but see what you think. Or maybe see if anyone more local offers something? He reminds me of my bridge bunny Brock and I would love to take him, but it has to be about the bun's best interests, so I won't be offended if you want to re-home him elsewhere. I would say that the colony set up may work well for him, as once they've joined a group the bun has protection from its members against the other group, and if they stay in their group's designated half of the garden there's no conflict at all. The worst that happens is that one will try to poach the other group's territory and gets chased out - very much like wild colonies, I'd imagine...
 
What a fantastic home your buns have.

I so wish mine could have that amount of space but it's bigger than my house and garden put together:cry: How on earth do you catch them at night? Mine are in a much smaller area and I still sometimes can't get Bumble to go to bed.
 
Thank you both; I am extremely lucky.

Amazingly, the buns are no prob about coming in at night. Originally I tried to pick them up, which most of them hated, but then I realised this was stressing them, so instead I just started to walk down the garden rattling a big washing up bowl full of pellets and veg, and suddenly I was surrounded! They all hop into their own sleeping places, in hutches or shed, apart from Dorset George, who insists on staying out all night. Even in the snow he refused to come in, but they've excavated a big burrow under the shed and he stayed under there. :roll: I've had him for three years now and he's always stopped out but it's the way he wants to live and I don't think it's fair to interfere.
 
OMG :shock: Tinsel, How many buns do you have? :love::love::love::love: That would be great for any bun to have a life like that. Wish I could do something like that.:thumb:
