Chrissy is a voluptuous girly bun, very cheeky indeed!  She came to us as a vet referral.  Her previous owners had brought her to the surgery to be put to sleep 'because she had ringworm' and she was 'infecting the children' and the doctor had advised her to 'get rid of the rabbit'.  The vet was of course reluctant to end the life of a perfectly treatable bunny so she asked if we would take her on and give her a chance.  We made all the preparations to bring her in and put her into isolation.  Chrissy had some tests done at the vets and we had to wait three weeks for all the results to come through.  We had to give her medicated baths once a week for three weeks, sterilize everything she (and therefore we) came into contact with, and don rubber gloves and disposable aprons when we handled her.  She got very grumpy in isolation and we felt so sorry for her.

Finally Chrissy's test results came back as negative, turns out she didn't have ringworm at all, she never had done.  We were so upset that she had to be put through all that stress for nothing, but it had to be done.

When she was introduced to the main body of the rescue, she took a liking to Frosty and now they get out to play together.  She's living life to the full and one day she'll be able to move in with Frosty and they can live happily ever after.

Update: Chrissy moved in to Frosty's pad and caused complete chaos by rearranging all his furniture and shredding all his lovely newspaper carpets!  Frosty says "It was murder to begin with but I'm getting used to it.  Hopefully it's only a temporary thing and she'll settle down soon, I can't take much more of this, my life was so peaceful before she arrived ......... but I love her very much, so I tend to forgive her ......... every day!"

Update 06/08: Chrissy is losing her eyesight, the vet has specified that there's no tumours or abscesses behind her eyes and that it's not EC.  One of her eyes is completely opaque, the other is heading that way too.  Life is getting increasingly more difficult for her as she is also deaf, so we have to be very gentle around her, although Frosty looks after her really well and gives her loads of reassurance.  She's still doing everything a bunny should and has no pain or discomfort at all, we will continue to support her, care for her and love her unconditionally, it's the very least she deserves.
