hi :wave:

You may find that if you contact sooz who finds new homes for rescue rabbits, someone may be able to help you out with collecting a rabbit from her :)

I'de be more than willing to help out with transport. I live in heeley so am not too far away. ;o)

See an offer already!

Are you interested in giving a rescue rabbit a new home, all grown up?

thankyou very much geerarffe,if i can get 1 from sooz? that would be great.
its for my daughter (but i would be doing the main care/feeding/cleaning out)
although i wouldnt care about the breed/sex/colour i would prefer a younger bunny ,preferably a baby one.
all the rabbits we`ve had in the past have only lasted a couple of years, maybe because they`ve been lops/pet shop bought??? i dont know,but i obviously want as young as possible so as it lasts a good while as it will be my daughters pet (she`s 5).
ooooh im getting excited now lol

Where abouts are you?

If you're having one of Sooz's, I don't mind giving you a lift to hers to collect

Anybody remeber Sooz's full username? :rolleyes:

You can go to the Thornberry Animal Sanctury, which is out near Dinnington. If someone will give you a lift there. They have lots of rabbits including baby ones.

I think its about £45, but well worth it.

I have just tried ringing for you to see if I am correct but they are not answering.

the no is: 01909564399.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people want baby rabbits. When we get ones brought in for adoption they've all got their own fantastic little personalities and character traits. I'd jump at the chance of an older rabbit if I had the space to have one :)

Up to now i have taken on 4 adult rabbits altogether and i can honestly say that the past ones and the present ones have been really lovely, friendly and gentle, and you know just what your getting with them as well :thumbsup:

I just wanted to post this pic of a rabbit I took off of someone last weekend. He's the most beautiful little black and white nethy...he's teeny tiny.

He's been operated on and had his incisors removed and is doing really, really well. He tucked straight into his grub when he got back to store :)

When he's fully recovered he will be up for adoption and will be going to a fantastic home.....I'll make sure of it!!

The state that he was in was unbelieveable. He's only about 8 months old.

Can I just reiterate to anyone who owns or is thinking of getting a rabbit, you should perform your own little health check on them daily and should be checking the teeth to ensure they're the right length and all is well.

It doesn't take long for problems to kick in where the teeth are concerned.

oh jesus :o

How awful! Some years ago, we had a young lop bunny that developed a similar condition - his jaws were misaligned from birth, apparently but when we collected him from the pet shop, we didnt realise this. We had to take him to the vets on a regular basis to have his teeth trimmed- the vet tried to show me how to do it but its not as easy as trimming claws and we preferred to let the vet check him over anyway.

That's the thing. We've clipped teeth for rabbits before, but you do have to be careful as you can cause infections etc.
My Dep has a rabbit whose teeth continuously grow. She is having to cut them weekly now, but the rabbit knows what's going to happen as soon as she puts him on his back and it's gotten to a point where it's stressful for both of them. Another one having his teeth out I think.

God that is awful the poor rabbit, how on earth can people not think something is wrong. We make a point of doing regular checks on all our boarders teeth, bums and claws and we sort them out whilst here if needs be.

poor poor bunny

The little bunny is absolutely beautiful and doing so well. I'll get you a pic to show you him....I dare anyone to not fall in love with his chubby cheeks ;)

I have recently aquired a new permenant resident....a incisorless REW boy. You have to be so careful bonding them because they cannot defend them selves and they also need their food preparing in small pieces. I have chopsen not to rehome him because of the extra care he needs.....these rabbits need really experienced owners.

I have heard horror stories about teeth being clipped with nail clippers....A vet should burr teeth, clipping is out dated and down right dangerous...more likely to crack the tooth and damage the root than solve the problem.

Also because the root runs deep and close to the tearducts bunnies with these problems (especially molar) tend to get recurrent eye infections and blockages which need regular treatment.

Most dental problems result from poor breeding but some are diet related and can be cured with careful adjustments.

With that in mind i hope bunny finds the home he needs and deserves. X

Hi Sooz....yep we did some research and were reassured to find that he was eating a couple of hours after surgery. We feed him the nuggets anyway, which makes it easier for him to 'gum' them up. He's managing his veggies too which is good and the hay with no problem.

I agree with what you're saying about the burring, as opposed to the clipping. Many vets still seem to be doing the cipping though. I guess it depends how up to date with rabbit info they keep. Again, you have to be selective about which vets you go to with rabbits. Round us, we have a few vets won't do female spaying. Too invasive and too risky for them apparently.

Regarding the bonding, that's something we need to think about. Ideally I think we'd like him to go as a house rabbit. He's such a little pocket rocket it's unreal. Without being cruel, he's not going to be chewing any wiring in a hurry is he!!

This is the little bun that's had his incisors removed....now called Splodge or Gummy depending on who you speak to ;)

Hi All,

just thought you might be interested to know that we found the perfect home for 'Gummy', the beautiful little boy who had his incisors removed.

We had a wonderful family come in today who have 6 years worth of experience with dental bunnies. They had a rabbit who ended up costing them close to £1500 over the years with teeth issues.

They are spot on when it comes to food, grooming and all welfare issues. I couldn't believe how knowledgable they were. Made my day :)

He's doing fantastically. No mouth issues, eating well and grooming well and maintaining a consistent weight.

A happy ending by all accounts.

Aww great :) Its so lovely when that happens. We have a cashmere at the moment...another bun thats needs a special home and we 'think' (fingers crossed) we have one :)

We managed to bond our REW boy with Pippa my other special needs bunny (she has cancer) and though it took a few weeks they are now very happy together and have the run of the house (except the rescue bunny room) where they happily boss about the dog and cats!

Rabbits are such characters aren't they? I love the buns when they're that bit older and the personality is well established. They just have such a way about them.

Hope your 2 do well and hopefully the new home pans out for the cashmere :) x

what a happy ending!

I wish I could have a house rabbit! unfortunatly we rent and the oh thinks they "smell" and I imagine the landlady would think that too.
maybe next time he goes away il adopt one like I did with the hammys
muahahahaha

such a shame- they are so easy to litter-train, so much easier to keep clean than if confined to a hutch, but youre right, its not fair to have one in a rental home in case anything does get accidentally damaged - better to wait til you have your own place.

Only reason I dont have one now is the dog- she didnt like our previous bunny and used to chase her,which was making it difficult for us to keep her safe, but fortunately, we managed to find her a loving home with another house bunny.

Hope you managed to sort a carrier for tomorrow.

I used to have a bunny when I lived with my parents. I called her nadia (after the big brother transvestite because I didnt know what sex she was).
tiny kitten (my fiesty ginger hair chihuaha) used to run at her hutch and stare through at her, princey (the softie) used to lick her fur through her cage - hes a sweetie.

I loved her to bits, but living close to a banking we soon got rats. we stopped putting food out for the birds but the rats were still coming. we couldnt put poison down because the chihuahuas loved their garden and might eat it. in the end we had to give nadia up (because the rats were coming for her and her food).

she's quite happy with my nephew and neice now though :)

most likely I wont be able to get a house bunny as im getting house cats when we move. perhaps if all 3 start together theyl be life long friends.

edit: ps, carrier is sorted :)

They only smell if they are not neutered (mainly males) and are no cleaned out regularly enough.
