I know, I know RU... I should have been asleep hours ago but I have a little distraction over here... Mini lop Pippa...
She has only been with us a couple of days. As soon as she was plonked shock in my arms I could feel she was a timid and shy bun. Scared. Her body curled up tight and her ears held flat on her back. Her breathing rapid and eyes wide.
She has been living in my room, I want to get her checked and vaccinated by the vet before I introduce her to Harry bun. But I can see it's going to be hard to move her into her hutch and run set up with Harry. :lol:
I leave the cage door open but she doesn't venture out. I have been waiting until the quiet evenings to bring her out and share time relaxing on the bed. The first time she just stayed in one place. Hunched. But eventually her ears fell into a more relaxed "loppy" postition. Still flinching and backing up if I held my hand out to stroke her.
The next night she stuck her nose out and took a few steps. Body low and every step checked - recoiling if I held my hand out to stroke her.
Tonight she has been more adventurous. She even decided to periscope to take a better look around. Instead of sitting as small as she can make herself, she is (presently )lying out flater. She has come up to investigate me too. Although still very unsure, giving her strokes and nose rubs hasn't left me worried if I've terrorised her.
She is eating and drinking well, she is on a musli mix and so I am slowly changing it to pellets. I have been giving her loads of hay, a nibble of parsley to try and a sample of apple sticks (thank you Fluffers! :wave. And her poops are now lighter with flecks of gold (YAY - healthier rabbit poops!)
I was just thinking how amazing the little progresses are. Can't wait for the day she does a happy bunny flop or binkies. I will try and post some piccies soon... She is gorgeous.
