Hello, My Dear Bunny Lovers. Right now we have a Flemish Giant at our shelter. I’m looking for someone to adopt him. He’s been at our shelter a few months now and it’s really hard to see him there. The staff doesn’t have enough time for him because there are so many other animals and things to do and I only work there a couple of times a week. He also is in too small of a cage. Plus, some other staff members don’t know how to handle rabbits. They keep telling peopel that he really needs work and that he’s antisocial. etc and dettering people from even spending time with him. let me tell you right now, this is NOT true! He’s a normal rabbit. He’s actually better behaved than my Netherland. Haha. I’m actually very suprised at how well behaved he is considered he is unaltered. Basically they are irritated because he sprays, but that’s normal. Anyway, I couldn’t go on and on about my frustration. Here are some things about him.
He’s a 9 month unaltered male. He’s a sweetheart and LOVES to cuddle! He’ll stick his big head under your hand for you to pet him and climb up in your lap. Today he gave my kisses when I made kissy noised by his nose. He also really enjoys blankets. He digs in them and I throw them on top of him and he’ll poke his little head out usually. Other times, however he’ll just stay under them. Hee hee. I tried a harness on him today and he was totally fine with it. Also did well when I did his nails. I haven’t tried brushing him yet, but if anyone is interested, i’ll let you know how he does when I get the chance. I’m sure that he would do fine with it, though. He lets me rub him all over. He even lets me pet his side. He just loves attention! He doesn’t like being picked up, but that’s not a suprise. I usually wrap him in a towel. when I pick him up so that he feels for secure and he’s easier to hold on to that way. Um… let’s see… He’s probaby about… 12-15lbs… best guess. I bring him veggies when I come in and so far I think his favorite it celery. I will post pictures as soon as I can.
If any of you are interested please fill out an application on the Chippewa County Humaine assocation website. I’m in Wisconsin and would be willing to travel a little in the midwest if it comes to it and you’re unable to pick him up yourself. Let me know if you have anymore questions. And thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Michaela
