Thursday flashback

Aoura, crazy ball of floof, she didn't let her disability slow her down. Loved head rubs and probably the easiest bunny to medicate on the planet. Adored by everyone that met her.

Friday Floof

This weeks fluffy photo is of the adorable Mr Tickles who is currently on the market for a new wifebun and a forever home after the very sad loss of his mum, Aoura last week.

Not Gonna Stop

Most of our special needs rabbits at the Rescue right now involve dental problems such as lack of teeth, digestive issues, being EC Positive, or various other little chronic ailments that can be cared for with medicines. Only a few rabbits currently are physically disabled, notibly Hoppy's wild legs and Honour's contorted head and neurological damage.

Our newest rabbit to the world of the physically challenged is Aoura, who was on the cusp of being rehomed when she was suddenly found in her accommodation paralysed in her back legs. Amazingly, she didn't seem bothered by this, racing around on two legs at speed and, once confined for her own good, ate readily, rattled the bars and had a fight with the vet bed. An emergency trip to the vets showed not a spinal injury as we had suspected, but the onset of spondylosis, an incurable condition of the vertebrae that was probably aggravated by a fall or bad landing.

This now means that she's been moved to her own special needs house with her son Mr Tickles, put on hefty painkillers and prevented from doing anything daft. Unfortunately, being daft includes ending her ramble around in the grass area by running headfirst into a 6cm gap between buildings with such enthusiasm that it took some careful extraction to pull her back out. The biggest problem appears to be that Aoura doesn't care and thinks she can simply do what she's always done which is not a bad mindset for a rabbit to have but is certainly not doing her any good!

So, Aoura, are you going to be sensible and take it easy for a while?

"Mmmph?"

Daydreams, Tasty Daydreams

A bun stares into the distance, lost in thought, daydreaming of snacks. She dreams so hard she can almost taste them, smell them... Suddenly she wonders if maybe she dreamed them a little too hard...

"[.sniff.sniff...????]"

After Math

"Mr Tickles? Did you see those silly humans put our messy-floofy-heads on the intehwebs yesterday? And other silly humans made comments?"

"Yes, but why would I mind? I'm getting paid these tasty pellets!!! [...nom.nom.nom...]"

"Well, human, these are, indeed, tasty. But I think you should pay me one for each floofy bit out of place in that photo, so I make that...let's see...add the bit over the ears, carry the three...how many sacks are left in the store?"

Monday Morning Mop Mayhem

SCENE: It's early morning at the Rescue. Bunnies have just got out of bed. Some cruel human shows Aoura a mirror...

"Arrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh!"

Fortunately she has her husbun for support...

"What's wrong, honeyfluff? You look perfect!"
