These bunnies must be rehomed together
Butterfly (whose official RSPCA name is 'Chesnut' but his fosterer calls him Butterfly and he has been Butterfly since November 2010)
*Age- Roughly 21 months at the time of posting- He was born likely the end of May/start of June 2010
*Breed- Lionhead
*Marking- Blue Butterfly
*Sex- Male
*Vaccinated- Yes (Myxo last done in Jan, VHD last done in August)
*Neutered- Yes (December 2010)
*Arrived- July 2010
*Been in Foster care since- November 2010
Crystal
*Age- Unsure- likely quite young.
*Breed- Some sort of lop cross- she has beautiful aeroplane ears and her right ear drops down to right angles sometimes
*Marking- Maybe a black Charlie?
*Sex- Female
*Vaccinated- Yes
*Spayed- Yes
*Arrived- September 2011
*Been in Foster care since- March 2012
Crystal and Butterfly are a freshly bonded pair, and they are very happy together, having just slotted together like two halves of a whole.
Crystal is a very adorable lady. She looks to be a lop cross because she has magnificent, out of control ears. Crystal came to us when her owners were no longer able to look after her. She arrived as part of a trio, but one of the bunnies sadly died, and within the last two weeks Crystal and Fluffy have started fighting so have had to be separated.
Butterfly was dumped at the Centre gates in July 2010 aged roughly 6-8 weeks. He didn't cope or thrive at the Centre so went into foster care at the end of November 2010 with his two brothers in a trio (his official RSPCA name is Chesnut and they do not know him as Butterfly). When they felt better and developed hormones they divorced pretty ceremoniously, and, other than a brief time being bonded with Little, he has remained alone, until now.
Both bunnies, by nature have shown to be a bit nervous of sudden noises and unexpected movements. Butterfly, having been in foster care for a long time, is further down the road to being less troubled by these issues. Crystal gets nervous with noises from the TV and if someone moves suddenly. Butterfly used to be nervous of objects in the air although this is much improved.
However, together, they are much more relaxed. Crystal is noticeably more relaxed when around Butterfly and gets anxious if she can't see him. She has come out of her shell amazingly since going into foster care and even more so since being bonded.
Behind Crystal's nervous exterior she has a very cheeky personality that is bursting out. She is nosey and curious and loves exploring new spaces, including the people in them.
Butterfly loves a stroke and fuss and is also very nosey. He's very confident when he feels safe and is always on the go.
Both bunnies have shown a love of doing binkies and bunny 500's and dead bunny flops. It is likely that Crystal has never done these before going into foster care, and in the week she has been there she has been gaining a lot of practice. Butterfly, having been in foster care now for 17 months, is very well practiced. They are so happy together it's just lovely.
These bunnies need an experienced home with a good vet available.
Butterfly is sadly a dental bunny. His lower molars are slightly misaligned and he gets spurs that grow towards his tongue. He had a dental on the 10th May 2011 and had his second dental on Tuesday 18th October 2011. He has his third on 19th January 2012. All his dentals have come after a change in his circumstances. The hope is, that now he has some stability with Crystal, that these changes won't affect him so much and he won't need dentals after any minor upheaval. So far, with his dentals, he was picked up on the very first day he went slightly off food or just when he was showing signs of losing a small amount of weight but nothing significant and had no signs of any wounds in his mouth, or any of the more visible signs of needing a dental (such as drooling, etc). If his adopter is vigilant and gets to know him and his habits, s/he will be able to pick the problems up at the same point which will prevent any unnecessary pain.
We need to be sure that wherever these bunnies go, Butterfly will get the treatment he needs and that any adopter is suitably knowledgable and vigilant to pick up any problem as soon as it arrives to ensure that he never suffers.
Currently these bunnies are living indoors and loving life. Butterfly has lived indoors ever since he came into foster care. They are well litter trained (Butterfly impeccably so) and generally very well behaved, although very nosey with a tendency towards self destruction in where they are is not properly bunny proofed.
They can go to an outdoor home as well as an indoor home, however they will need to be kept inside until around May when the indoor temperatures are comparable to outdoor temperatures.
These bunnies are so beautiful, inside and out. They truly deserve their forever home. Can you offer them the experienced home that they need?
To view more about each bunny before they were bonded, please visit Butterfly and Crystal's previous pages.
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.
