        Hey everyone! Lots of you will know that of my two rescue buns, one only has 3 legs! When I first got her she couldnt hop or crawl at all and I was very concerned that she had a more serious problem that couldn’t be solved by amputating her leg! 

        Never the less, she is a very big happy hoppy girl, but we have all noticed that when she sits still her legs go in very odd directions! After seeing someone else’s post on here, I am now wondering whether Belle has splayed legs or just sits and hops oddly to compensate for her loss of limb

        Here are some pics of the big princess to help  

        Thanks guys!

          Hard to say without seeing her move, but I suspect a bun missing a leg would probably find a way to compensate with the other 3. If she is able to get around comfortably, I wouldn’t be concerned, either way. Just make sure to check occasionally for any signs of rubbing or sores on the limbs.

          She sure is cute

            Yeah, i would ask the vet on the next visit if there are any signs of joints hurting. I love her coloring!
