Meet the team of volunteers that cares for the Bobtails rabbits and guinea pigs. If you come and visit us you'll be able to spot who's who!

Bonnie
Bonnie is a female agouti dutchie girl born in June 2003. She is quite shy and reserved. Bonnie was not neutered when she arrived with us aged 6 years and due to this fact alongside age, we were extremely worried about the risk of uterine cancer. We had her neutered immediately but, unfortunately, during the op, our vet found that Bonnie sadly did have uterine cancer. Our brilliant vet removed as much of the tissue as he could and we thought we had caught it in time but, tragically we hadn't - Bonnie has numerous tumours which can't be treated. We keep telling people about the importance of neutering female bunnies due to the high risk of uterine cancer and this is tragically an example of what can happen in un-neutered girls. Please please please have your female bunnies neutered, as uterine cancer IS avoidable. Bonnie is currently happy and comfortable and we will obviously monitor her closely to make sure she stays this way, but we know that her time is limited. She is living with one of our foster carers where she is being spoilt rotten. Bonnie will remain as one of our permanent residents.

Kermit
***YOU CAN HELP FEED ME ON EBAY - Simply click on the eBay icon***
Kermit is a brown and white lop male born in April 2006. He arrived with us with the most rotten teeth we have ever seen. His molars were rotting in his gums and one had grown into his cheek. He was extremely thin and weighed just 1.3 kg (a bunny of his breed and age should weigh around 2.3 kg). Despite his ill health we were so worried about his teeth that he really needed to have a dental. During the dental several of his teeth just fell out because they were so rotten. However he bounced back and has since gained weight consistently. He is now of normal weight which is fantastic. He has since lost a few more teeth and now has very few left, so his food has to be blended. However, he is eating like a horse - so much so that we think we need to increase the cost of his "feed me for a week" on eBay!!!! As you can imagine, Kermit has a special place in our hearts because he is such a bouncy lively and nosey boy and thoroughly enjoying life, despite his history. Due to his ongoing health problems he is not available for rehoming and will become one of our permanent residents. Kermit is being sponsored this week by Jo Barnes and Helen Herbert. Thank you for your support and kindness.

Maude
Maude is a four and a half year old girl who has not yet been neutered. She is a tan and white cross who has some dutch markings with some harlequin - so a bit of all sorts really. Poor Maude had a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in the past leaving her with chronic arthritis. This is under control with intermittent pain relief and Maude is a happy bunny who is enjoying life. She is very sweet. Maude is going to become one of our permanent residents due to her ongoing health issues.

Jupiter
Jupiter is a smooth neutered agouti male piggie born in October 2007. He is a very friendly boy and loves to have his nose stroked. Jupiter has some ongoing health problems and he is not available for rehoming. Instead he will become one of Bobtails' permanent residents.

Thank you for your support and kindness.
