We’re offering spa services now!! I ran it by our board and Dave, I was going to ask 20, but I’m going to the rabbit’s homes to do it, so we’re asking 30 per rabbit with a multi-rabbit discount-nail trims and anal gland cleaning!!
We’ll see how it works out, if it’s too much to ask; Getting added to the site this weekend, but my ad is up!!^^ Heheheh kijiji wouldn’t let me write Anal so I had to put just gland cleaning!

I’m pretty pumped about this as I’ve gotten really good at glands and nails…I remember reading about trancing bunnies when I was learning and this one site said the authors daughter hadn’t met a bunny she couldn’t trance-yeah right!! But now, I totally belive it because I trance everyone at the humane society when I volunteer there (and it’s turned out to be a good exercise as I’ve found one case of overgrown incisors and two testicular infections) and I can trance everyone of our shelter buns…I honestly feel like ceaser milan when he says he can handle any dog-I am confident no matter the bun I can do their nails and glands!
(…Guess we’ll find out LOL

Oh I envy you, K&K. My bunnies are so hard to trance. It’s probably just because I am so scared I will hurt them in some way with my lousy technique.
And there’s no way I can do the gland cleaning alone…I usually have the hubby help with that, as he’s the only one who doesn’t really flinch when we open those puppies up. >.< It's not that he isn't disgusted, he simply contains it better than the kids. lolz…
I still can’t get my own vet to see the necessity of cleaning the glands. I don’t know how I can convince her it need doing. You’d think she’d jump at the chance to make more money, she charges $15 for toenails. :-/ Go figure.
A little off topic: I sure wish I could at least take the horse and bunny. Not sure about the piggie. :-/ I suppose I could have it keep the grass trimmed in the yard. ^_^
But a recent news story here had me thinking that no animal is safe in my area if it lives outdoors. Some wing nut decided he’d had enough of his neighbors’ horses coming into his yard when they jumped their fence, so he shot them. One dead the other wounded.
I just don’t understand people like that.
I mean, if you’re my neighbor and I’ve spoken to you about your dangerous dog repeatedly breaking it’s chain and it’s coming at me with teeth bared, I’d consider that it may need deadly force…but a horse?? What’s it going to do, whinny you to death?? Sooo…I guess I’m all alone in the bunny maintenance… *sniffle*
