Finally, a formal intro

[sevyn]

Edit: Sorry, made a mistake with the title again. I need to stop doing that! *Addicted to using emoticons*
Also, sorry if the pictures are a bit big. (My monitor resolution is really high.) I can shrink them a bit it anybody is having problems with them.

Hey guys, I am borrowing a camera from my brother (I need to take some pictures to add to my application for a bunny ) so I thought I’d finally introduce you all to Vicki.
If you haven’t heard the story yet, I took Vicki from a neighbour a few days before he was planning to surrender her to the local humane society. She was hardly socialized, mostly starved (he had been feeding her nothing but leftover scraps for about a week by that point) and so terribly skiddish she peed on me the first time I picked her up. The name ‘Vicki’ was a mocking reference to a mutual friend of ours and (somewhat unfortunately) it stuck even though she was usually just called ‘Bunny’. She was pretty much soaked in pee and all he had ever used for bedding was newspaper, so her feet were essentially black. She was a sorry sight, to be sure, and I would be lying if I said I took her out of anything but pity. I wasn’t even planning to have a bunny at the time, but I have no regrets now that I’ve gone through the effort of rescuing her. She’s already come a very long way and getting better and more visibly happy all the time

 

Apparently a common and very cheesy nickname she also had was ‘Phantom’… go figure

For effect, take a look at the left side of her face and then the right side… my boyfriend teases her and calls her a goth especially because of the left side, haha. Permanent eyeshadow all the way

I tried to take a picture of her cage, too, but it’s a bit hard to make sense of in the picture. It’s also missing a few toys, her bowls, and a couple of other things because I was in the middle of cleaning when I took it.
 

Also, I realize this is a fairly silly question, but can anybody give me any idea what breed(s) Vicki is just by looking at her? I really have no idea, except that I’m sure, originally being a petstore animal and all, that she’s a cross of at least a couple things. Let me know if you have any ideas – thanks!

What a GORGEOUS bunny!! She could be a supermodel bun with those looks! She looks to me like she’s got some dutch bunny in her – but I’m not sure what else as it seems the dutch pattern is messed up a bit. I just wanted to say again how fantastic it is you took her, you save d a pretty lil’ buns life

What an amazing color pattern she has!  If I had to venture a guess, I’d agree with Dr. Moobunnay and go for a dutch mix, maybe some hotot in there too?  She has the eyeliner thing going on one side of her face, and the classic dutch pattern on the other.

Awe what a cutie! I agree about the breed, definately part Dutch and the hotot is a strong possibility.

She’s beautiful!!!! I definitely 3rd the Dutch and Hotot mix, but there is a 3rd in there too. Her size is larger and her body a bit longer, which makes me think she has something else too. No sure. It’s amazing what genes can be passed down from further past generations . It’s a mystery, but a beautiful one!

Aww, she’s beautiful! And I agree with the others about the breed. The markings are neat… really looks like a dutch/hotot mix, but bigger!
