Bimbus is a darling little boy who was mis sexed by the breeder and sold with his sister as a female which then led to a surprise inbred baby. The person was not in a position to care for the 3 of them so gave them up to the rescue at all under a year old. Sadly when they arrived hidden behind the pile of fur was a very sorry little eye of Bimbus. He was suffering with severe Glaucoma which is an extremely sore condition of the eye, caused due to his breeding (breeding rabbits with large bulgy eyes can cause this). He was showing signs of pain and flinching. We got him onto pain relief and eye drops to help with the pain and discomfort but this was not a long term solution of him.
Beloved Rabbits would like to nominate Chardonhay for September's rescue rabbit of the month. This gorgeous girl came to us a week ago and we were shocked and saddened when we heard her backstory. She's 7 years old, never been seen by a vet and spent her whole life in a guinea pig cage with barely room to turn around, in a room all alone, and not let out of the cage by her owners as she would pee on the carpet. She's now in foster care getting some long overdue TLC, and her foster carer said she loves cuddles and seems to be an absolute sweetheart! She was successfully neutered today, and we are delighted that she has already been reserved and has a wonderful free roam forever home and bunny companion to look forward to once she fully recovers.
The Pledge a Pound Team have chosen Bimbus from Baby Blue Bee Bunnies as the Rescue Rabbit of the month for September. Well done Bimbus.
