New Addition!

[Valisa]

My friend didn’t want this gorgeous little ‘it” (don’t know the gender) so I took the bunny aboard. The bunny’s been living outdoors, so as a precaution I set up another friends hutch (their rabbit passed away) inside of an x-pen outdoors too. I didn’t want to bring the little bunny inside as it could be sick or something (I’m worried about mxyo here in Australia..). It (I’m gonna say she anyway..) does look healthy, however, I don’t want to risk it. So I plan to book her  in for a check up, hopefully tomorrow if there’s a spot. 

She was a little shy to begin with, but around 30 mins ago, she enjoyed a 15min pet on the head! She’s so tiny in comparison to Sheldon. I felt like I was going to hurt her or something when I pet her. So hopefully in the next week or so, she’ll be indoors. Bonding may begin next week, but could be further in the future. it just depends on if he/she was spayed/neutered already.

Pictures to come tomorrow!

Hi Valisa – congrats on your new baby! I’m not sure where you live in Australia – just take care with our heatwaves (if they are affecting you) with baby bunny being outdoors. The quicker you can get baby to the vet and indoors the better. She/he sounds adorable – and for ‘it’ (sounds terrible, ha ha ha, so I’ll go with your ‘she’) to let you pat for her for so long, I reckon she will be super friendly and a perfect addition to your family. I hope Sheldon adores her as much as you seem to already – such a lucky baby bunny! Can’t wait for the pic’s! and a name???? But I’m sure you are waiting to see what ‘it’ (lol) is. And remember if you have any problems with bonding everyone here will be ready and eager to help you out. In the meantime, keep us all updated on her visit to the vet etc., and all the info the vet may be able to suggest to you in relation to her sex, age, breed and whether she has been spayed/ neutered. Can’t wait to hear. Enjoy your new baby – Cheers Valisa.

I booked my little girl into the vet on tuesday for a wellness exam. Bad news: It’s very difficult to tell if a rabbit has been spayed/neutered. So hopefully during the wellness exam, the vet will be able to feel if she’s been spayed/neutered. Otherwise they’ll have to put her under and shave the area, which is risky too. 

As for photos

Her tail is so cute! When it folds down its brown/grey on the top!

Also any ideas on breed? And I also have no idea how old she is..

Your new bun is so pretty! I love the coloring! =D She looks very faintly pointed, but that pattern can be found in a lot of bunnies.

Congrats on your new beauty! Good luck at the vet exam!

Hmmm hopefully he finds a tattoo if she has actually been spayed. That’s what my vet did was added a small tattoo. That way when the vet shaves her down they’ll notice she’s been “marked” and stop the procedure. It’s a pretty common thing to do now so hopefully, if she is in fact spayed, they did that. She is gorgeous btw! Do you know for sure it’s a female? Or is that just what your friend is assuming? How did your friend get her? If she was just nonchalantly placed outside to live I don’t see them taking the resources and time to spay her unless she was a rescue bunny and then your friend adopted her. Although they usually require said bunny to be indoors.

I had to cancel the vet appointment as we have to go to a funeral, also my friend got her at a pet store :/
