Sort of an update on my rabbit help thread. We got to keep her!! My neighbors didn’t seem to give a crap- they just said I ‘can have her if I want her’. I’ve named her Ava.
Short back story for those who don’t know: I found a rabbit in my front yard last week. Caught her that evening. She belonged to my neighbors but has been living wild for the past month.
We’ve been told that she’s definitely female (guess my internet-acquired bunny sexing skills are up to par after all!), under a year old, and not spayed. She’s got a vet appointment for next week, which is the soonest we could get her in.
Honestly, I think she’s the most work out of all my pets right now haha. More than the horses even. But that’s mainly because she’s not completely litter trained yet (she will pretty much pee 100% in the box, but poops- which I’ve taken to calling Cocoa Puffs haha- are a hit and miss thing). I’m hoping this will improve with spaying.
Work or not, I’m in love with her! She’s really sweet for having been fending for herself for the past month, and living in a barn before that. She likes to stay in her comfortable space, and will often sit in her ‘area’ even when I move the pen, but she does occasionally come out to investigate. I moved my entire room around in order to make space for her, and now she’s set up along the length of one wall, in an xpen with a crate attached, so her entire space measures about 9ftx3ft.

Such a beautiful bunny! Neighbors didn’t want her?? Pffft! Their loss! Gosh people can be so stupid. (Sorry, I just can’t stand it when people just dump an animal because it’s convenient and expect someone else to come along and pick up their slack.)
But thank God you came along! ^_^ I love that squishy pic too…nothing more beautiful than a full on loppy floppy! ^_^ Congrats on bringing home such a treasure!

She is gorgeous! Thank you for saving her! I love the last picture of her opening her mouth to grab whatever nommy treat you’re feeding her and the second one with the big flop by the bowl. I used to have a horse (sadly, not any more
) and the barn I boarded her at had the same buckets for the horses’ grain
