Hello!
I've been a member for a bit now but haven't got round to posting as I've not got a working camera to post piccies of my adorable Dwarf Lop, Sargent Poosicle, who's having two of his favourite appendages (if you know what I mean!) removed on Tuesday.
I am moving into a new house next week to give my bun more space to run around, as he's gotten far too big to keep in a hutch all day.
Here lies the rub: I'm not down with stressing out my little chum. Will moving so soon after the snip cause him distress? He's into everything, so I know normally he'd enjoy a new environment, but after surgery I don't know if it'll be too much for him.
Another major issue is that my brother's girlfriend decided that she's bored with her rescue bunny and wants a dog, and just instructed my brother to get rid. Which, I despise. It's disgusting to take a bunny who was abused (he was kicked in the face and had to had his front teeth removed) then shunt him on when your next whim comes along. So, I've ended up saying that when I move he's coming with me. That's not a problem, I earn good money and can pay his vets bills etc, and he's a proper cuddle bun who loves having his face hair hand groomed and a proper fuss making of him.
The one thing I'm concerned of, is that not having front teeth will he have trouble in setting up a relationship with The Sarge? He won't be able to nip to set boundaries, or groom the other bun (as far as I gather). Has anyone got any experience on bonding a dentally disadvantaged rabbit? I don't want him to end up downtrodden!
Thanks in advance!
