Hi all!! We hope you've had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the best going into the new year π€β€οΈ
We've had a busy couple of weeks here and it's liable to get busier!
Here's some of the things we currently have going on.
EL TORO:
Please say "hello" to the 100% adorable Toro. So named because he's a little bull in a china shop π
. Of all the bunnies to come through BFr, we can't think of any that are as friendly and puppy-like as Toro! Unfortunately, at 3-4 years old, previously kept closed in a 3' cage and never having been neutered, he has massive amounts of built up frustrations (hormones and lonliness) that affect his behaviour. As usual, people would rather pass on their problem than deal with it so he has been passed around until another independent rescue agreed to offer him a place. Unfortunately, that rescuer is currently experiencing a serious biosecurity issue and so Toro, despite us not officially taking in bunnies any more, was diverted and ended up here. We're happy he did because he's just delicious π always wanting cuddles and kisses to the point of CrazyRabbitLady not being able to go anywhere without him wanting to tag along zipped inside her coat eating dandelion leaves and plantains π
Toro very much needs to be neutered ASAP so that he can find a bunny friend to lavish all his love and affection onto. Humans simply can't give a bunny the constant companionship they crave so please please consider contributing towards the Β£120 required to get Toro on his way to the hoppiness he truly deserves β€οΈ
TORO IS GOING TO FEATURE IN OUR FIRST EVER BFR LIVE STREAM COMING SOON SO KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR THAT!
DUKE & DAISY:
We can't believe it! Duke has finally found a new home! Duke and Daisy are due their vaccinations. Duke is booked in tomorrow so that he can be moved to his wonderful new home ASAP and Daisy is scheduled for mid-Jan. Luckily, Duke being reserved means that his vax cost is covered by his rehoming fee but if anyone would like to help to raise the Β£90 required for Daisy please consider a contribution via the methods below.
Duke moving on also means that beautiful Daisy will not be held back to complete a bond with him and can now be rehomed for bonding purposes elsewhere π₯°
If you are interested in offering Daisy a bonding opportunity with your existing bun/nies please get in touch for more information on her! She is very sweet towards people and towards other bunnies so we anticipate no issues at all with her future bonding experience. She would even be a good bunny to try if you have a single bunny that has proven difficult to bond in the past. Please don't give up on finding them a friend, try a tolerant bunny like Daisy who will be patient with your difficult bunny π€
SMORE:
Smore is booked in for his incisor removal mid-february. He has been placed on the cancellation list incase an earlier slot comes available but for now we're looking at at least 2 more burr sessions before he goes in. Smore's isn't considered an emergency removal as he tolerates his burrs extremely well. The burrs have just become too frequently required of late and the overgrowth too much of a hinderance to continue putting off the removal.
The good news is that he is confident and a very healthy boy (especially when compared to his condition on arrival at BFr) so we are confident that his operation will go according to plan π€β€οΈ
DUCKY & CLOVER:
Look at how well Ducky has recovered from his recent ordeal with vestibular disease (suspected to have been a result of Encephalitozoon cuniculi). He is doing so well now that there's barely a hint of head tilt and you'd never know he'd been unwell at all! His cheekiness is back in full force! π
His girlfriend, Clover, is also starting to lose weight which is very much needed for her and she is finding it much easier to keep herself clean without intervention which has previously been a struggle for her.
Due to changes in circumstances, their owners are concerned that they can no longer provide the care that these buns need so have asked that we take them on full time going forward. We, of course, agreed as we would accept back any bunny that we had previously adopted out however long ago that was (along with their bonded partners) but it helps massively that the owners will be continuing to provide support by keeping up with their pet club and insurance payments for as long as needed π₯°
And who wouldn't want to keep this adorable cheeky pair regardless? π
YET TO BE RENAMED GIRL BUNNY:
We previously mentioned in a post that a fellow independent rescuer had been receiving messages demanding that she collect an "aggressive" bunny that the owners were threatening to throw out to fend for herself and they even made suggestions that she was at risk of physical harm. This rescuer is the one experiencing the biosecurity issue so can't possibly even transport never mind take in any bunny at the moment. Now, however, the suggestions of physical harm have become direct threats with more than one family member stating that they are going to "wring her neck" so we can no longer put off taking this bunny into safety and beginning her aggressive behaviour rehabilitation.
We will need to spay her as matter of urgency to begin the work which will cost us Β£136 but with the situation escalating, CrazyRabbitLady, is herself paying an extra Β£34 out of pocket for train fare in order to step in the moment she gets the go ahead to remove this bunny.
We will update on this case as soon as the bunny is secured π€
