That Friday feeling

Looks just like the rush to leave the car park at work on a Friday afternoon, it is in fact the baby bunny breakfast dash at the rescue.

Flutter by

Little Flutter is already reserved, providing she bonds with her intended, she'll be the first of Faye's babies that will go off to their new homes once they're spayed and neutered.

She said, he said...

I think Flair and Fella are playing Chinese whispers, wonder what they're talking about?

Faye's Christmas Wish

Just over a month ago Faye was blessed with five little bundles of joy.

When you're overwhelmed with relations today or maybe doing the post Christmas lunch washing up, spare a thought for Faye, she's literally being run off her feet.

Alternatively, you could just 'squee' at the delightful fluffy cuteness of the baby bunnies.

 

 

Too cute

 

 

SQUEE!!!!

Two of the four 3 week old babies born to Faye, the doe who was living rough in a garden, who we rescued several weeks ago along with the remaining members of her family.

Furious

Last Sunday Caroline rescued some rabbits. Although the rescue has been closed to new intakes for several months this was a situation we couldn't turn our backs on.

A family of rabbits had been living rough in a well meaning ladies back garden, they had been breeding and many of the baby rabbits were being killed by neighbouring cats.

At 7 months pregnant Caroline spent four hours on her hands and knees in brambles and managed to catch four of the six remaining rabbits, two does, Florentina and Faye, buck Frankie and a tiny baby weighing just over 200g, Flounder.

Florentina

Sadly Florentina had multiple untreated abscesses and had to be euthanised. Faye and Frankie appear healthy, although Faye is currently on pregnancy watch.

Despite Carolines best efforts little Flounder sadly passed away.

I went back to the property in the hope of catching the two remaining babies only to find that the other tiny baby hadn't been seen for nearly two days.

This left one little bunny all on his own. A gorgeous little black lionhead who stared at me contemptuously from the bottom on the garden. I spent three hours in the freezing rain until eventually I caught the remaining baby.

Fury

Caroline healthchecked him and he's been vaccinated too. At 720g he's much healthier than poor little Flounder too.
I've named him Fury, as he reminds me of 'Toothless' and I'll be fostering him until he's old enough to be neutered, bonded and rehomed.
