WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pictures added

[DallasDelight]

Because we don’t have a shelter anywhere near me, I’ve been keeping contact with the local animal control, and let them know to give me a call if they get in any rabbits(they do not “do” rabbits – they are euthanized within 48 hours of being with them.) I got a call yesterday saying they had one in – so off I went to go see her!

She is a black and white female Dutch. Very young – they were told she was 6 months, but I am thinking 4 months or a bit less..she’s very tiny. Unless she was just stunted, which is possible, but she is in overall good condition and not underweight by much.

She was left in a box outside their building during the night, with a note explaining things. She is coming from a severely abusive home where many boys threw her by her ears, cornered her and hurt her, and chased her around(this makes my stomach turn to think people have done this to her). The mother said the bunny would die if not removed from their household, but she didn’t know where else to take her. I guess she did not know about the 48 hour limit on them, but alas – this little girl is safely now in her forever – and NEVER abusive – home!

Even with all she’s been through, she is extremely loving, gentle, curious, and willing to forgive. I am already in love. And she has already used her litterbox for 90% of her potty(all her urine, though – woohoo!) She has a ton of energy – was running “WEEE!” circles around her NIC condo last night, lol! Very entertaining, she was having a blast. In a month or so, I’ll take her up to the vet that did Dallas’ enucleation and have her spayed.

I will get photos later today!!!!!

Congratulations! She sounds adorable. I love the Dutch rabbits. It’s good that she is trusting you and out of an abusive situation.

Can’t wait to see pictures.

[Beka27]

Oh hugs! Congrats!!! What a lucky girl!!! She doesn’t even know how fortunate she is to have you now! Thank you so, so, so much for rescuing her!

[Karla]

Yeah, congratulations with the newest addition! And how great that you saved her from being put to sleep. Lucky little bunny

[mrmac]

Congrats! She sounds like such a sweetheart! She is lucky that you had them call you! She deserves it after what she has been though! Can’t wait to see pictures of her!

[mocha200]

i am glade you rescued her! can’t wait to see pics!

[DallasDelight]

Thanks guys  We’re hoppy to have her join the crew, lol. The boys will be fawning over her like no other, I’m sure.

Here are some pictures!!!! I took them a little earlier, so please excuse the messy cage. She’d been bouncing around like a mad woman and I hadn’t cleaned it yet. It’s only her temporary home, she’s moving to her permanent station in about an hour. All bunny abodes are being rearranged today so they all have the best and most sufficient home for each of their needs
She looks double the size she really is in these photos, she is much tinier in person.

 

Peekaboo!

Just finished scratching

This helps show how small she is – compare my hand to her head. I am small myself; a 5’0″ tall, 83lb, 18 year old.

 

 

[Sarita]

She’s adorable! She’s so inquisitive too.

[MarkBun]

That’s not inquisitive – that is strategic planning.

[Monkeybun]

Moosie says that Dutch bunnies are the bestest bunnies ever.

[LoveChaCha]

*cough* Lotsa Slaves like Dutch Bunnies, I see.

My boyfriend was looking through my bunny breed types book and he said that Dutch bunnies have cool coloring.. so one might be in the future for us sometime

So Dallas Delight, what is her name?

[DallasDelight]

Inquisitive – that’s EXACTLY the word that describes her!
haha, I have always liked them and was kind of hoping my next would be a dutch, but seeing as how I was waiting on a call from AC I figured – what would be the odds? And I wasn’t going to turn away a bun just because they weren’t the breed I hoped for!!
But hey, I lucked out!

I am not sure yet on the name…it’s taking forever to figure something out. Everyone thinks I should stay with a ‘D’ name, because of Dallas and Duncan, but I’m finding there are few good D girl names that fit her. So not sure if it will be a D name after all.
I only have 2 I’m leaning towards right now. Delilah and Safia. I like Safia a bit more.

So yeah I don’t know! Anyone feel free to throw names out there!!!

[LoveChaCha]

Safia is unique I love it

I’m not sure if I am of any help  I plan to keep the food theme name going with all my future bunnies

[kralspace]

You got my Daisy’s twin! I love the wide face blazes. Hugs to you for rescuing the tiny girl, she must be so happy! It made my skin crawl to think they did those things to her.

[Beka27]

Oh I could cry! She is so adorable! She definitely looks quite young! What a precious baby!

[mocha200]

SHE IS SO CUTE! Lulu wants to meat her!

[DallasDelight]

Thanks everyone…she has already stolen my heart.

I found a name..it sounds right, AND starts with a D! Win win situation haha. I am thinking Demi. We’ll give it a trial today and see if it’s right!

[mocha200]

oh i like the name Demi!!! tell us how she/you like it!!!

[mrmac]

She is so tiny! You are catching on with my “D” name trend!!! I have 4 D’s! She is so spunky looking! I like the name Demi, I think it suits her…I already have a Delilah so…

[Sage Cat]

I’m also a sucker for Dutch bunnies.
She is adorable.

[Denise12]

Awww..i’m so glad she’s got a good home now. I can’t believe she got abused so much…it breaks my heart.
So cute!

  Lulu wants to meat her!

 

yes, I agree, Lulu would like to turn her into ‘meat’ — most certainly Lulu does not want to meet her, though! 

[jerseygirl]

Congratulations on bringing Demi home! Such a good idea, getting in touch with Animal Control. She does look small & young there. It’s hard to believe anyone could hurt something so sweet. I’m happy to hear her life will be sooo much better now.
