My story so far…
I was was brought into the sanctuary by a kind person that found me and my friend Mary dumped by the side of a road near to the sanctuary. We were left in a box. Thankfully the person found us and brought us to safety straight away. I have lived with my friend Mary for over two years at the sanctuary, we became resident rabbits due to our health conditions. Sadly my friend Mary passed away recently. I have been coping well living on my own and my carers and sanctuary volunteers have been giving me lots of attention and extra enrichment. I am really enjoying the extra attention but I am feeling lonely due to being on my own, especially overnight when my carers go home.
I have pasteurella and this can cause me to have respiratory problems. Sometimes I need nebulising when I have a flare up. I have not had a flare up for sometime now, but sometimes stress or a change in environment can trigger my illness.
My carers feel that I would benefit from some one to one attention as an only rabbit to start with. Moving to a new home may trigger my pasteurella flare up. Having time to settle in a new home would be beneficial. Once I am settled we could look at the possibility of bonding me with a bunny friend that would be compatible to living with my health condition.
I am quite a shy rabbit at first but once I know you I enjoy attention, playing ball with my favourite people and having a brush. I am very inquisitive and like having plenty of toys, tunnels and boxes to investigate.
If you are interested in fostering me you will need to be living local to Wythall or to my vets (Southcrest vets) in Redditch, so that I can have regular check ups and treatment with them, as and when I require it.
I could live with children that are 12 plus years
