        Hi! I was looking at vids on youtube and came across this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7pq…re=related

        It’s about a grey and white Dutch mix bunny named Tippy that came in with a dislocated hip and broken leg (according to the description).  Seeing the video of that poor bunny dragging himself around by his front paws broke my heart!  The sweet little guy even climbed in and out of his litter box!  The video was posted over a year ago (June 08).  Since it seems like there are a lot of forum memebers who are involved with SaveABunny, I was wondering if anyone knew how things worked out for Tippy?

            MarkBun was very involved with Tippy. I dont know any update, but if you use the search, and search for tippy it pulls up his past posts.

                Hi Barbie, Markbun is Tippy and Nadia’s Godfather (Lol) and would be able to give you the best updates. He has posted about them in the Rescue forum if you want to scour thru previous posts. Tippy and Nadia act like normal active bunnies and it’s great to see – they are champions.

                  I found these two threads on this forum, but theyre both from 2008

                  When Tippy and Nadia were first rescued: https://binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/aff/1/aft/51549/afv/topic/Default.aspx
                  Tippy’s chiropractic session and update: https://binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/aff/8/aft/83827/afv/topic/Default.aspx

                  I went to saveabunny.com to check for a post about Tippy and Nadia, but the site is currently offline for maintenance.

                      Both Tippy and Nadia are doing fine but do get regular acupuncture & chiropractic exams.  Nadia used to be a cuddle bug but the moment she got her beau, she’s become rather a terror.  For a bun with a bum leg, she moves like a snake – literally teleporting across the cage to grunt and attack you. However, she had a bit of a bad neck for a while and the constant neck rubs by the staff and me mellowed her out again.  I took them back to my place one day for a holiday away from SaveABunny.  Attached are some photos of their time.  I wasn’t sure if Nadia was having fun or not but the last picture was taken right after a bunny flop – the leg sticking out was just too cute.

                          So they still haven’t been adopted? Poor things

                            If they’re still around when maryann passes, I will probably adopt them. I’d think about it now but even Marcy wont’ try to bond Maryann and Nadia and I refuse to have buns that won’t live together.

                              You’re a good Godfather, Mark. It’s nice to know they will have a retirement home with you.

                                Markus – have you ever “dated” yours with Tippy & Nadia?

                                  Nope. Not even going to try. Marcy also agrees that if Maryann and Nadia were to meet, there would be a lot of blood loss.

                                  I am also not 100% certain that I will adopt them. One of my issues is that I don’t have the time to dedicate to my buns now, I’m afraid of what would happen if I had to keep an eye out for Tip and Nad when they grew older. It’s knowing one’s limits and if I can’t dedicate the time, they’d be better off in the long run with someone who can – even if it is at saveabunny for the rest of their days. It saddens me but neglecting them would make me even sadder.
