Bill

We are doing the unthinkable. . We are fostering a rabbit. It has always been a taboo for us because we did not want to get attached knowing they would eventually be taken from us.. and we get attached quick to animals.  But that being said I know in my heart it is the best thing for this rabbit. He was found wandering around outside Allen Park High School and taken in by a very nice friend of Mark's Aunt's. She knew she couldn't keep him but kept him safe until someone could come along and give him a home. This guy is 9 months old and is some sort of himalayan, lion head angora mix. He has one ear that stands up and one that flops. Maybe 4 pounds max, if that. Not a skeleton but still could benefit from being fattened up. No real health concerns except he isn't neutered yet and should be.. He does not have fleas or ticks. We are guessing he is an Easter dump. Ie a couple of geniuses bought their brat a bunny for Easter and the brat got bored and parents didn't want to deal with the bunny themselves so they let him go into the wild where he belongs! Not. You almost just sentenced him to death. Total and complete utter waste of human beings. That's a rant for another time. But about Bill, (I named him Bill after True Blood Bill) he is very very sweet and docile. Laid back says it mildly.  He shows zero signs of aggression and almost seems zoned out or drugged because he is so chill. He ate hay and greens right away. Wasn't sure about the kibble but tried it and loves it. Went right in his pan to pee and since has continued to pee in his pan. Was pooping everywhere but the pan at first but after 8 hours or so is now going into pan to poop. I've picked up 2 isolated poops all day from his pen so that is just amazing.  Maybe is showing better habits than my 2 bunnies. We are going to bring him down to play later. I am really trying to not get attached.  We need another animal like a hole in the head. It's hard though.
