A group of rabbits were highlighted on FB as needing rescuing. We could not take them all but agreed to take 4, the others have now got space at another rescue.
They had been kept in very small ( 2 foot hutches) and dirty conditions.
A lovely person who adopted Bouncer from us transported them up to us and he was quite upset at the state of them . They all stank.
First a male. Matted underneath with huge lumps of filth, had bad mite infestation and a very sore eye which may be dental issues. He is also terrified of being touched
Now named Carter
his underside on arrival
and the lad himself showing his sore eye
next a slighlty blurred pic of young girl, filthy underneath but in better general condition than the others. Now called Lizzie
Next the underside of another girl now named Lorna..absolutely flithy and matted. Her back feet are so bad I cannot take off all matts or they would be bald..again very shy of human contact
that is a foot about 2/3 up on right
and the girl herself
then a lovely little lass, now called Clara. This little girl is fine being handled and actually snuggled into me, I like to think she realised I was trying to help her. She has found a place in my heart
You can see the matts from her tummy, bottom and feet sticking out from under her
Carter is going to our vet on Friday to be neutered and have his teeth and eye sorted. The money from this months PAP draw will go to his costs so thank you very much

Quite apart from the matted fur on them all, Carter's eye looks so sore
You are a star for taking them all on honeybunny, and pleased to hear that the Pledge a Pound donation has helped.
I hope they all get the loving homes they deseve when they are well enough for rehoming.

Poor bunnies
It is so good you are able to take them in and show them all love and care. I have no idea how people can let animals get into such a state.

Well done for taking them in, and least their future is now looking a lot brighter x

Re: 4 Sad New Arrivals
some of you may have seen the update on FB
Lizzie was speyed today and came through fine..she was checked over first and had some matts shaved off while she was under GA .
Carter was neutered and whilst undewr also shaved a bit to tidy him up. He came through fine. He also had his tear ducts flushed and has drops and Baytril as slight infection.
The bad news is his teeth are a mess Looks as if his top incisors were removed before but have partly grown back, he had some molar spurs and one tooth was growing sideways into his cheek..no wonder he looked miserable
BUT I cannot belive this and please all keep your fingers crossed...he has the offer of a fantastic home when well enough to go..lady is aware he will need future treatment AND will adopt another of our girls to be his partner

Poor bunnies what a state they were in. Thank goodness they are now safe with you. Fantastic news Carter has a home lined up with a wife bun
Re: 4 Sad New Arrivals
Thanks for updating us on here. Sending lots of vibes for Carter, and hope also Lizzie continues to recover well. Kind of Bouncer's owner to help with transport too.
