Too Much Hard Work

One busy bee at the Rescue is Neon, who has an insatiable liking for pulling all of his bedding out of his hutch and spreading it around his aviary. This is quite obviously tiring work.

Second Chances

Do you believe in second chances?

Earlier this year we attempted to bond one-eared Neon with our oldest resident, ten year old Tibby. It all seemed to be going like a fairy-tale, with much snogging and hanging out together in the sun, until we realised to our horror that at some tiny moment in time, he had injured her. Nobody saw it and certainly they must have made it up again afterwards, and we can only theorise that perhaps his previous bad bonding history (in which he was injured by two females in a row) made him jumpy and Tibby's over-affectionate advances on him might have been mistaken in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately the subsequent separation while Tibby underwent veterinary treatment and observation broke the bond completely and she refused to take him back.

Since the initial signs had been so promising, we decided to wait until they might just have forgotten about the whole affair and then give it another go, but more slowly and carefully.

So far it seems that while Neon is completely accepting of the idea of Tibby as his wife, she appears to have quite the elephantine memory! Here's hoping we can convince her to forgive him!

"Funny... I'm the one you were worried about but now SHE'S being mean!"

Neon's Niggles

"So tell me - when I get to the bowl, will I be happy? Only it seems to me that, even though I'M the one with ONE ear, it's YOU that seems unable to hear when somebun asks for treats..."

The Future is Neon Bright

We have one bunny at the rescue right now who, after a bit of a rough time in the past, is currently quite a lucky boy. One of our adoptees has graciously sponsored Neon to live in a large aviary, which is normally reserved for pairs as they naturally require more room. Now all we need to do is convince him to share it with somebody...
