Hello, I'm Tracy
Sorry I've not had time to introduce myself sooner (too much to do and too little time :roll: )
I have 10 bunnies....Herbie & Sugar, Poppy Pansy & Daisy, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Saffron & Pepper, and Bentley (my big daft conti).
Herbie is my dental bunny. He has no incisors and not a good molar tooth in his head. His dental problems started when he was a year old, at best he goes 6 weeks between dentals, at worst it is 3 weeks. Herbie is now 7 years old, so doing well despite all his problems. Sugar is Herbie's girlfriend, I adopted her from Fatfluffs.
I adopted my trio of sisters Poppy, Pansy & Daisy from Kirkby rescue (where I volunteer). They were affectionately known as the ASBO girls at the rescue because they were very naughty and destructive, they even managed to eat their way out of a hutch. They'd been at the rescue almost 2 years when I adopted them. They are now as good as gold, all that was needed to change their behaviour was more space and a stimulating environment.
Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Saffron & Pepper are my family of little bunnies. 3 sisters and their brother (Pepper). These came to me when they were only 4 weeks old when I brought them home from Kirkby rescue along with their mummy who was very ill. Sadly despite treatment mummy bunny died, so the 4 little ones were orphaned. We decided to keep them with us for a little while longer just until they were a bit bigger and stronger as they were so very tiny and vulnerable. That was over a year ago and they are still with us.
Bentley is my continental giant, another poorly bunny that I took from the rescue to nurse at home and who has ended up staying. At 9 weeks old, Bentley and his sister Rosie were handed over to Celia at Kirkby by a breeder who wanted rid of them because she couldn't sell them as both babies had one diseased eye.
They had to have an emergency op to remove the eye. This went well, but both babies fell very seriously ill with stasis/bloat a few days later. I took them both home and got them straight to my vet who is brilliant with rabbits. Sadly Rosie didn't make it, but Bentley carried on fighting. He was a very poorly lad, but against all the odds, he pulled through. We had been through so much with Bentley that we couldn't part with him, so he stayed with us.
I've also got 6 chinchillas and 3 cats.
