A Happy Ending - Bunny Rescue Story


It didn't start out as a happy story though.
My Friend Kristina had told me about the loose/wild domestic bunnies down at her barn, and one day she found a baby one on the floor of their riding arena. The cat was playing with it, so she shooed the cat away and took in the poor baby bunny, calling me right away.
That evening she went down to the barn to feed her horse and found the cat had 3 more baby bunnies on the arena floor, one was dead and well not pretty. She took the other two in.
She found the bunny's nest (the cat was in it looking for more bunnies), something had dug up the den.

Kristina started hand feeding them, knowing that raising orphand bunnies so young usualy didn't work out As it is very ahrd to do without their mothers milk.
The next day the first bunny she found had died, the way he was we believe he died of shock from being tormented by the cat.
A few days later the second baby died also.
Kristina did everything she could for those bunnies, and we prayed for the next one to be stronger then the others..... and well he was.

Here is the little fella a couple days after she found him...


All her hard work was paying off, he was growing, and eating up a storm!


The little guy is now 2 months old, has perfect litter habbits, sleeps with her in her bed and is just a little bundle of joy!



She worked so hard to help this little guy, and it's paid off he's one happy healthy little bunny. ;D

I'm so glad he's doing well! But it's sad about the other three. What's his name?

He looks like he could've just come from a pet store! People need to realize that you can't just let a domesticated bunny out in the wild when you don't want them anymore. To the least, give them to a bunny rescue - at least then they'd have a fighting chance.

That little bunny is a miracle!

Totally!
We are so overwhelmed in area's out here from Domestic wild bunnies, they are not suposed to be here and they are making havoc on local farms and such.
It makes me so bad that people just toss their bunnies out and think theya re doing the bunny good. That's how my Ani came to me, a family deceided she was not exciting anymore and 'let her free'... Thank goodness there were no other domestic bunnies around, otherwise they could have re-populated this are with wild domestic bunnies.

Oh, and as for his name, I think she just calls him Bunny LOL...

Oh I bet he is really bonded to her after all that. I know kittens are like that when you bottle feed them. He is so beautiful. I am glad he made it. She really should be proud of herself!
And it does make me angry when I read about bunny dumping. We are pretty sure that is what happened with Tabby. I pray that her old owners were not that cruel and she just got away accidentally but everyone says she was most likely dumped. Well that is their loss and our gain b/c she is the most wonderful little creature in the whole world!
