A friend told me about the farm where I got him from. They have a bunch of Flemish and California rabbits the raise and sell the mixes as “meat rabbits” I wasn’t too impressed with the way things were setup there from people claiming to have 20+ years raising rabbits. The cage he was in was so small, not even two feet long or high. Kept on the ground with no protection from the elements and with six other rabbits about the same age as him from the size of it… His ears came close to touching the top of the cage that’s how small it was. Didn’t look they were doing anything other than letting them just eat grass. No signs of hay, pellets or anything like that.

I didn’t notice the ear problem until I got him home, not that I mind. I was just worried because I noticed some scabs along his body and a few around that left ear of his. We got a appointment set up in two weeks, the soonest the rabbit savvy vet was open.

He is eating well; I put almost a cup of pellets into his dish along with two very apple slices and two tiny carrot slices. He also ate a good part of the hay I stuck into the feeder too. Came down in the morning to his dish being almost gone and a big pile of poo in the corner and in his litter box… lol

I’ve been taking him out and letting him hop around the sofa near my roommate and I so he’ll get use to us. Still skittish around my GSD who just wants to lick and sniff him. She spends a good amount of time lying down by his cage watching him. Grim lets us pick him up and hold him but likes to try and escape from that though.
