This little gal, a chestnut agouti mini-lop, was brought in today by a nice pagan gal who caught her on the Naval Air Station. Predictably, she was covered in fleas, really underweight and dehydrated. After a flea shampooing, toweling off and introducing myself she gladly submitted to a half dozen syringe-fulls of cool water.

Here's a pic of her being bathed in our kitchen sink to show you how tiny she is:

Here she is grooming after her bath, protected by Cthulu - destroyer of SPOs:

As to her name, Kevin who has built and repaired many a rabbit enclosure asked to name her.

Poor baby! I'm happy that she found her way to you. She'll have a great life now.

She may end up being a house bun for now, I want to keep an eye on her and see how she does. So far, she likes the dog but is a bit afraid of Libby the Rat Killer.

Thanks!

Here. Have something to eat. You look like a Biafran. No, really. Take some home with you. Just a nosh. It's okay. I have more in the kitchen.

Exactly what was going through my mind. She's teeny.

So far, she adores Gracie but is afraid of Libby - likely been chased while loose by cats.

I can hope. Likely not, since Boo is a lab!

So, when you coming for a visit?

When I have a job and some money.

Why is it that people think that pets can just be dumped in the wild and be okay?

There's an unspoken and unwritten caste system with animals - Family Rodentia, lizards and fish fall into the lowest rung so even the laws tend to treat them differently.

The minimal upkeep for a rabbit in an agricultural island like ours is absolutely horrifying. But then, I'm no fan of those tiny hutches to begin with. Our rabbits like to run around.
