I am not sure how these people get my phone number or email address but they always seem to have it. Whether it is a sick kitten or puppy or even chickens and peacocks.
I was contacted on Wednesday by someone in my area about a rabbit that was brought home by a child. I was basically told either I come and get it or they were going to drown it in the creek (sadly not uncommon to drown unwanted baby animals in my area).
I went to pick the bunny up and the stench coming off this poor rabbit was unreal and she was soaking wet from sitting in an open cage outside while it poured the rain. The smell was like a mixture of cat pee and something moldy it was terrible. Poor thing was absolutely terrified. Before I left I lit into those two “adults” for so long I am shocked I didn’t lose my voice. I also reported them but nothing will likely come of it.
We went to the vet and she is a female and roughly 6 weeks old. If you look at the pictures below you can see that she is super tiny. The willow balls are the small size and the baby keys are standard baby keys. She can sit in one hand comfortably the biggest part of her is her big ole ears.
She was given an overall clean bill of health other than some dehydration that was quickly fixed. My plan was to take her to the shelter since I am not really ready for a new bunny. But I rarely stick to that plan if I have the time, space and funds. Besides she keeps snuggling into my lap and giving me tiny baby kisses.
So for now the plan is to eventually try to bond her and Monty.
No idea on the breed or how small or big she will eventually be. And she has no name I’ve been just snapping my fingers at her to get her attention. Lol. I am in general bad with pet names but female pet names are close to impossible for me.
PICTURES!!
Don’t mind the ancient stained litter box I haven’t had time to get her a new one.

The color of her feet was pretty much her overall color when I picked her up.

MORE PICTURES!
I tried really hard to get a picture of Sir Puffball Monty but he was having none of it.
You can really see the icky pee stains on her tail in this picture.
My dog Pig (his name is Ziggy but he is called Pig more) apparently needed his picture taken.
He tried so hard to get her to play with him. It was adorable.
She was secretly peeing on my pillow.

She is just too cute. I love the way you’ve caught that shy little look. Hopefully the pee stains will grow out fast — that would drive me crazy thinking about her previous conditions every time I looked at the stains. Sure it doesn’t bother her though . . . she’s just happy to be out of the rain and have a nice soft pillow to pee on!

I will try to come up with some names.
