I think the extra blood supply is what Grim has, he almost has skin over his eyes. I hope the vet can figure out what's wrong. Whatever happens he'll have a great life with you.
Oh bless him

Now it all makes sense... they rang us yesterday to check you were legit. The owner spoke with the other nurse so I only got a half garbled message, s/he wanted to check you were a legitimate place and not horrible people. Our nurse told him/her that I had raved about the work you do and was excited for my little foster girl to come to you You made Steve work hard today then? :lol:

Sorry about that, I had no idea she would ring you too. I gave her my vet for a reference and had mentioned that we were in Norwich to pick Lacey up and could combine the two bunny runs, so from that she decided to ring P@H too. I only found out late last night after she had made the call. There was some confusion as I had told you I was changing Pepsi's name but not what we were going to call her, so this lady was asking about Lacey
At least its all sorted now.
I can't believe that they were just 5 minute from P@H, what are the chances?? I hope you like the magazine :wave:

Pics, although not very good ones
His cage, its tiny but the end has been cut away so he could come and go as he pleased in the flat, I thought it was quite ingenious! He will be in a new bigger cage soon once he has found his bearings
His good side
His bad side
And The 2 stevies in my life:lol:

Beautiful Beautiful.
How are his limbs? His fur and his eyes, to me, look like the max factor gene in action.
If that is the case, his life span is likely to be roughly 2-3 years. I know for sure though, that however long he is with you he will have a wonderful time and his problems won't matter to him.

His limbs are fine. After a quick check I can't find anything else wrong with him except a lack of testicles. Its quite funny really there are all these people on fb slagging off the owner because he isn't neutered and therefore she doesn't care about him when in fact he has nothing to neuter and she loved him to pieces. I had no idea he was on FB until 10 minutes ago.:roll:
She rescued him from a back yard breeder where there was a lot of inbreeding
So sad that she is the one who rescued him but is the one getting slated

That's really sad, I think it's clear she loved him. It wouldn't have been fair on the baby or the rabbit to keep him so she did the best thing and found him a new home.

The fur and the eyes are both key factors in that genetic condition. The limbs normally play a part though, although I have known a breeder get max afctor babies without limb issues but with horrific eyes and odd fur. I wonder if, beause his fur is so odd, if his energy goes into growing it as opposed to being a healthy weight and developing physically. I would guess he wasn't on a high protein diet where he was but I'm sure this is something you would look into if you felt it was worth a try for him.

Awww what a little dear. It is a shame he is blind but I am sure he will have a very happy life with you now And it is probably for the best seeing as he can get the right medical care. I can't believe people on FB are saying such things. Some people just shout what everyone else is shouting don't they...

I know people are passionate about animal welfare, but it does wind me up that people love to jump to the most negative conclusions when they only have a fraction of the facts.
