        i feel like a lot of us end up with more bunnies when we do that…

         

        anyways, i saw a lovely cinnamin colored rex- so sweet and totally not scared. but he’s missing a large patch of fur. no scaly or red skin, black skin actually. i’m going back tomorrow (with my nail clippers. his nails were way too long!!) and i may…. well….. i don’t know. my inner battle is currently epic. do i take him? he’s sweet as can be and i can afford it for sure. so now i need your advice:

        1. how difficult is a tri-bond? i’ve got my two neutered boys who are very close, super easy bond.

        2. what can be wrong with his skin? obviously i would quarantine him until i took him to a vet.

        i will take pictures of course. i mean, i’ve been looking at rexes a lot a lot a lot…. i just need those opinions who have three or any opinion really!

          I don’t have a tri bond yet. I have a male / female bonded pair & am trying to introduce another male. The males are pretty good but the female is a bossy bun. She’s a bit of a terrorist. I would think that 2 males bonded would make adding a 3rd realatively easy but I’m only guessing from my mellow fellows personalities.

            Ohhh yay rexes!!! Hehe. Seriously, they have the BEST fur!

            Was he in a cage with other rabbits? Maybe he had a scuffle w someone or one of the other rabbits was over grooming him? Or… maybe it was some ignoramus letting their bratty kid pull at the bunny. Even if he’s not in a pen w other bunnies now, he may have been recently. You should ask the pet store manager or an employee who works there frequently if anyone knows what happened – they probably won’t, but it can’t hurt to ask!

                Tough

                My big thing is to not buy from petstores (or to not buy anything from pet stores that sell pets) this just creates demand-vote with your dollars.

                BUT sometimes we get attached to that cutie in the store.

                1) tri bond is maybe as hard as two bonds…generally ends up in two pairs I will warn you
                2) it could be anything-simple or expensive-impossible to tell as a non vet and over the internet.

                Remember your bills are going to get 1/3 more expensive-that’s for everything-food and litter and toys and vet bills-even if vet bills haven’t been bigt-well they can get that way!
                Also-more vaccuming-more fur-more brushing and more shedding

                  thanks guys! i went back today and talked to employee. he clipped the nails said he would look into the fur… we’ll see if that happens. the bun was in a cage ith a chinchilla. which is odd to me, but who knows? i’ll be going back next week to check up on him.
