Same! Big buns are the bestest! [emoji7] Although he's not actually that big.. [emoji38] He's lovely Craig, I'm sure he'll have a great time at yours what you gunna name him?what a lovely boy. I do like a bigger bun.
He is a handsome bunny
Did the rescue mention his ear? Wouldn't worry me at all aesthetically but I would want to know what the issue was.
Is he eating this morning? What food did he leave overnight?
Make sure that his moist nose is not being caused by a discharge.
He's gorgeous Sorry if I'v missed it, how old is he? maybe the other ear is taking awhile to drop into a lop? Also I assume (sorry if I missed previous info on this too) he will have a lid on the run when he's unattended? as by the size of him and his confidence, I wouldn't be surprised if he would scale that quite easily and you find him sitting in the flower beds or at your door, trust me I have two Houdini's! :lol:
Aside from that enjoy him, he really looks like he's going to be so much fun
Thank you - yes we have already suspected that he is weighing up his options for a leap of faith over the run. He will always be supervised so we can react if he does go over the top. He won't be able to scale the metal fence thank goodness.
He is 18 months old so pretty much fully grown. At the moment, he will only come into the run if someone is there - so he is still adjusting to his new surroundings.
Thanks Omi. No mention from the rescue about his ear. It doesn't bother me, he does seem able to move it. I did read somwehere some time ago that on some rabbits, one ear does drop (helicopter ears) but the other doesn't. He's left all the food I put out last night - chopped greens, kale, a bit of herbs and a small handful of excel pellets. I will monitor that closeley. I suspect that it's just all unsettling for him. He's gone from the rescue, to a foster carer, settled, then back to the rescue to then come here. Everything is overload for him.
His moist nose is not a discharge - it's just healthy as noses should be - but you do feel it when you get a bump.
He's been grooming the snuggle bun in his run just now when I was out with him but it's stinking hot outside and he's not really keen to spend much time out. I have put an extended roof alt on the hutch with some extra tarpaulin which has put the inside of his hutch in the shade. Unfortunately with our garden being north facing, the hutch either faces east (as it does now) and gets the not-so-hot monring sun, or it faces west and gets the full force of the hotter afternoon sun. I could turn the hutch to face south but that'll just get full sun. So this is the best postion for him at the moment.
