Barney is a very handsome brown and white mini
lop. He was found running about in the streets and was taken to a
local vet for safety. The surgery advertised him but nobody came to
collect him, so they contacted C.A.R.R.O.T. to ask if we would take him in.
We know nothing about Barney's history apart from
the fact that he had been well kept. We think he's around two years
old and we have had him neutered.
Barney has the most endearing face, and
constantly wears a 'worried' expression. He has a lovely nature, is very energetic and
likes to be petted.
Can you offer this enchanting wee man a loving home?
Barney has now been rehomed with
a charming and very beautiful girly bun called Chloe. We know they'll
be very happy together as we spotted them giving each other little kisses
when they thought we weren't looking!



Update: There is a sad end to
this tale. Barney grew to love being with Chloe but unfortunately he
succumbed to myxomatosis very recently. Barney came into CARROT as a
stray and we therefore didn't know if he'd had any vaccinations previously.
Myxomatosis injections can be given to a rabbit at 6 month intervals but no
sooner. Because of this, he couldn't get any vaccinations done before
he was rehomed, but his new owner planned to have this done as soon as was
permissible. Sadly he must have been bitten by an insect carrying the
disease. Although no wild rabbits are in close proximity, it could
have been a flea carried in by a cat, nobody will ever know. This is
why it is SO important to have your rabbit covered by vaccinations at all
times, myxomatosis twice a year and VHD once a year. Thankfully Chloe
had already been vaccinated against this sickening disease and has not
contracted it, proving the power of vaccination.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR RABBIT IS
PROTECTED AGAINST DISEASE.
~ Sleep soundly son, til we all
meet again. Take our love to the spirit buns and tell them about all
the love and attention you had during your time with us here on this earth
