Hey all, im obviously new here. My name is Mellisa…I am currently owned by a black silver marten buck,”Blackberry” and a dark sable female Netherland Dwarf, “Bambi” [name subject to change]. Both are rescues. Blackberry was found on the side of the road in the blackberry bushes – someone obviously just dumped him. He was found with another bunny, a chinchilla doe we named River, but sadly she got sick and died after all efforts to help her. We found that she had Mucoid Entritis when it was too late. Not too long after, I recieved a mini rex named Patches, who unfortunatly was too neglected and we think he died from hairball, still unsure. He was perfectly fine in the morning and was gone when i came home 5 hours later…Just Sunday i adopted Bambi from the Tacoma Humane Society. My first “real” adoption ever. I was so proud of myself! I am not new to the rabbit thing, but i am still learning the “house bunny” thing. I raised rabbits for show for 5 years when i was younger, showing in 4-H and grew out from there to show ARBA all over the state. I raised Netherlands and Dwarf Hotots for show and pets. Now, my buns are strictly pets. I think i spoil them more than my cat haha. Right now Blackberry is intact so he will be scheduled for a neuter as soon as i get money for the procedure [now that i have approved vets for bunnies-thanks to THS!]. Bambi is already spayed but you wouldnt know it, she definatly has attitude…but i love that in her.
Sorry for my endless blabber…..
