It's been some time since I posted, I thought a formal introduction to Moondust was needed! Moon (formally known as Peter) was a boarder I met & had been caring for since 2021. Last year his owner decided she didn't want him anymore after he lost one partner then another, so I kept him. I felt sorry for him & didn't have a clear idea of what to do with him. He was always very unsocial..but after investing some time & care into him he soon blossomed & changed. This unfriendly bunny soon was licking me & seeking me out, spending as much time with me as he could. He became the opposite of himself. This transformation was quite incredible to behold. Bonding him to my rabbits, Nimbus & Twinx, has been complicated & riddled with complications (ear infections, emergency surgery, behavioural problems) but he is a special member of our family. I'm determined to give him a life filled with love, joy & everything good he has always deserved.

⭐️Boarders of the week ⭐️

Last week. I'm behind again! Meet Rosa (harlequin on the right) & Sonny (sooty fawn, left). These delicious confident little mini lops are an absolute pleasure. Friendly, interactive & all around my ankles they follow me everywhere. Curiosity killed the cat they say, it got to the rabbits first! These two are supremely nosey looking into every tub, box or bag that's available to them, to the point where it looks like they want to physically help me do everything. A little scratch on the head, some praise & they scamper away happily to watch me at a little distance.. until I move and they're back again. They are one of the few buns I care for that are pellet free so they have a little more energy as a result and eat a terrific amount of hay. Watching them bounce away happily with a hay stick every night was the highlight of my day. I've never seen anyone look so happy for a hay stick!

⭐️Boarders of last week⭐️

The adorable twins Bunny & Clyde. I knew them as babies & this was their first stay back as neutered adults. They're a year old now & fully settled into a domestic life of pushing around their hoomans. And boy are they good at it. In our defence, look at those faces😍😍 could you resist them?
Sweet, friendly, squishy, playful & terribly social they are the perfect version of rabbit that everyone wants. Bunny is a bit more so than Clyde, he is naturally more wary & hangs back more to suss you out. But once he realised there was no danger he quickly joined in the attack..as soon as I walked in they went nuts, flying over for a cuddle & of course..to poach something to eat. They are clearly used to someone being around them a lot & really fed off my constant presence, boarder bunnies need that presence to feel safe & comfortable in a strange environment, it really helps them through. These delicious fiends left as coriander fanatics as it was gently introduced to their diets during their stay, now they have more to the repotoire to make them happy. Thinking ahead this only helps them should they require medical care that results in poor appetite. The more you have to help them, the easier that process of recovery is.

⭐️Boarders if the week⭐️

I just love a trio or group of sows. Their social dynamics are completely different, plus y'know, the more piggies there are the better! (From left) Lima (agouti teddy), Frida (flame coloured crested) & Inca (tricolour abyssinian) came back for a week & have been joyfully cooed over, squished & stuffed with as much food as they can eat! Frida is quite shy & nervous choosing to take herself away from contact, Lima is confident, curious & likes a cuddle. Inca is bold, sassy, placid & interactive. As long as you have peaflakes you are tolerated! Two of the three have unique health problems. Lima has had an implant fitted to help control her hormones. This happy humper pestered her sisters a bit too much! She has a lipoma located on her tummy between her ni***es which could be an indication of ovarian cysts. For now she's calmed down but her future may involve a spay. Inca has congenital dental issues requiring regular teeth trimming. She has malocclusion of the incisors & wonky molars that grow into the cheek, she's had a molar removed along with an abscess. For a while with such intense treatment it was touch & go but she's battled back to full strength & the treatments are becoming further spaced out as she finds her feet.
It's such a pleasure to care for such special girls, to learn their stories, spend time with them & know their unique problems make me a better, more educated person.

I love a trio or little group of sows! The social dynamic is completely different, plus, the more piggies there are the better! Lima (agouti teddy), Frida (flame crested) & Inca (abyssinian tricolour) came back for a week & have been thoroughly cooed over, squished & stuffed silly with as much food as they can manage! Frida is very shy & gets stressed with too much contact, Lima is confident, relaxed & enjoys a cuddle, Inca is bold, fearless & not afraid to put you in your place. You must have pea flakes & fuss her she when asks too😉 Inca has congenital dental issues meaning she has to have regular teeth trimming. A molar is growing at an angle that requires burring off & she has malocclusion of the incisors. She also had a molar

⭐️Boarders of the wheek⭐️

How I have adored these little girls ❤️ Meet Snickers (left, funky hair do) & Oreo (black & white crested pig) a beautiful pair of young sows that are so tame it's unreal. Social, friendly & relaxed it was immediately obvious these young ladies are handled an awful lot by their little loving humans. These two walk to the front of the hutch or curiously sit there & you can just stroke them. Normal pigs flee for their lives, Snix in particular bumbles over happily for a scratch. Very sadly a day after their arrival Snickers was spotted breathing heavily & a day later started to make a wheezy rattly noise, classic signs of a respiratory infection. I rushed her to the vet & got her the required medicine which didn't work. It was a race against time to get the next strength of antibiotics which thankfully kicked in after one dose. She is now back to optimal health & I've had an awful lot of cuddling! Guinea pigs are often carriers of bacteria which when exposed to stress (like changing their environment) suddenly activates & you see the rapid development of respiratory infections. This is an extremely serious problem for piggies & is deemed an emergency. Respiratory infections quickly overwhelm those tiny lungs & can kill in just 48 hours. Therefore it is imperative if you notice this wheezing they are seen by a vet as fast as you can. We shouldn't ever house guinea pigs on sawdust (sawDUST), keep them in well ventilated environments, avoid any dusty hay & make sure pigs are cleaned out throughly every 2-3 days with a strong animal safe disinfectant to limit the risk of respiratory problems.

⭐️ Boarders of the week⭐️

Again, technically last week. Being busy means the socials drop!
Star boarders were Bob (harlequin lop) & Flora (fawn lionhead) mainly for their complete startling personality change from when I first met them 2 years ago. Bob started off moody, defensive & territorial. Completely food obsessed I had to watch my hands, I really couldn't touch him much & cleaning was a pain. Now? He's like a little puppy dog following me everywhere, honking while he runs in circles around my feet (round & round he goes, never stopping!), he loves to be stroked & loves to be helpful by nosing into everything I do. It's incredibly endearing & very surprising but I embrace his change. The rabbits here get the freedom to do what they want & interact when they want. I NEVER force contact. Some clients have problems with that but they are prey animals. Handing them the power rather than forcing them into being afraid is the best way forward, they become brave by themselves. That choice is important. Flora has always been very unsocial, timid & shy. But she's started to let me stroke her now. As long as her & Bob have each other that's all that matters. Bob has to always be kept under close observation because like a lot of lops he is prone to ear infections, keen eyes & quick action makes all the difference. Boarding them has become a complete joy, these things often take time. As rabbits age they mellow, Bob is living proof❤️

Technically last week, I'm a bit late on the uptake lately!
Nacho (sooty fawn mini lop) & Truffle (netherland dwarf) were bonded loving companions at the start. Sadly bonds can suddenly break for no apparent reason & that is what happened here, attempts to bond back have resulted in injury. I boarded them as a pair in 2022 & this year I've boarded them as two singles. Both are very confident self assured little men with strong personalities, perhaps this is where they clashed. Truffle is very headstrong, impatient & knows what he wants. If he doesn't get this instantly he will tantrum & it will be your fault. Nacho is a little more relaxed & amiable but averse to too much human attention. Picking him up & giving him a little squeeze everyday before he scampered off for free roaming was the highlight of my day everyday. There's is nothing quite like a grumpy little ball of fluffy cute! In these situations we know that companionship is key for buns. Does it mean we rehome one to keep the other in a new pairing? (How can you just give away your bunny that you adore?) Do you have to sacrifice that need & keep both buns single yet mostly happy because you made them a promise of commitment? Or do you have 4 buns? (Really not possible in many situations due to space & finances). There is no right or wrong here, things are not always black & white. This is a judgement free zone, I advise & help where I can but lead with empathy. If it happened with my boys could I give one up? No way.

⭐️ Boarder of the week⭐️

Have you met Bugs bunny? He's too cute! He's a netherland dwarf cross sitting pretty at a few years old. He often goes by the names Buggy, Bugsy, Buggles & Buggy Boo whilst with me putting up with each one like a champ. He is a little ball of obstinate spirit & energy. He loves his space & values being out as much as possible sitting by you whilst doing bunny things, he does love a cuddle, he is a little licker. Bugs is quick to lose his temper because this little gentleman knows his own mind & isn't afraid to fight for what he believes in 😍 Tiny terror is a long weekend boarder usually so this past weekend has been blessed with his presence.
Looking forward to the next one!

⭐️ Boarders of the week⭐️
Strawberry (tan) & Pom Pom (white).

These delicious mini lops have had all day free roam of the boarding shed during their stay. Its been so interesting to watch them start off so nervous then unfold into these confident bunnies that are ever so friendly. Now they're just cocky & destructive!

They seem to thrive on attention purposely seeking me out & creating carnage in every job I have to do giving me double the work. They are the literal representation of double trouble!!

This is their first stay at BBB. Hopefully the start of a beautiful friendship ❤️🐰

Kicking off ⭐️Boarder/s of the Week⭐️
An idea a friend gave me to exclusively celebrate the adorable companionship these perfect animals give me during their stay, a way to highlight unique personalities & looks, draw attention to quirks & of course to celebrate them as remarkable individuals!

This is Onix & Ziggy. Two handsome flame coloured boars at around 7 months old with very sweet dispositions. They came from our local rescue ARC, their owners did an awful lot of research & waited patiently for the perfect match whilst fostering. They contacted me about boarding before they even had them and when I met them it was clear how unique this family were. Perfect diet, all the right toys..it's so rare that it's astonishing. But incredibly pleasing! The boys themselves were quite shy here but had very good manners. They'll be back for Summer & I can't wait to hear how they've grown & flourished.

They're also brilliant poster boys for rescue. There are multiple ways to support rescues. Donations (toys, food, money), volunteering, fostering & adoption are all wonderfully helpful & greatly appreciated. Check with your rescue for what you can do to help❤️ it's so rewarding being involved.
