Abandoned 3

Abandoned English Angora Page 3 UPDATE!
These are NOT my rabbits!!

Three months after the abandoned bunnies were rescued...

Before After

See the transformation from left to right.
I have named this doe Carmel. She has adapted to life at Happy Hops with a noticeable transformation in temperament. No longer, the scared, timid bunny she used to be, Carmel now responds to me with all the loving disposition of a happy bunny.

Because Carmel has what I refer to as a "pom-pom" face, I keep her wool undercut in the areas where she naturally scratches....face, neck and behind the ears.

Note that Carmel's coat is now clean to the skin and is totally free of wool mite. The coat now has a noticeable lustrous shine to the tips; her ear wool has grown back in; and she even smells nice. Carmel shows her appreciation by greeting me with affection.

This is the little buck which I have named "Diesel".
Diesel does not have the type of coat that one desires in an EA and he is terrified of being groomed since I'm sure it is a procedure that is foreign to him. He cry's through the process, stresses out and is very difficult to groom. Because he is very cottony coated, I keep him cut down and he has no choice but to accept the grooming sessions since they serve his best interest.

If anyone is thinking that I specialize in rescuing bunnies......I DON'T, so please don't contact me with expectations that I will rescue your unwanted bunny. If anyone who has purchased an angora from me, decides they no longer want it.....I will take it back, for any reason, (as per my terms of sale) however, I do not rescue bunnies purchased from other breeders, pet stores, etc. This case was so beyond cruel, that my conscience would not allow me to look the other way. I urge everyone to please consider the costs of over-breeding. These poor little bunnies feel pain; they thirst; they hunger; they feel the discomfort of sore hocks; neglect and abandonment. This particular breed of rabbits demands the highest level of care. Angoras should never be purchased impulsively, nor should they be purchased for the purposes of breeding for sales since, realistically, there are few desirable homes for them. A conscientious approach is mandatory......God will hold us accountable for how we've treated His animals. At HHR, we are a "NO-CULL" rabbitry. The only exception is for illness that is beyond veterinary care and results in suffering.
