Mean bunny mommy

[kismetscorner]

Well I recently took in my mothers rabbit named Bridget Jones. The poor girl has a bit of a weight problem and has trouble keeping her backside clean so I had to give her a bath. Surprisingly enough she seemed to really like it although i don't suggest anyone else do this to their rabbits unless it is a serious health risk not to like this was. She was so cute while I was drying her as well she kept tugging the towel over her shoulder if I stopped rubbing for a few seconds She is so darn cute!




My poor girl, she was very tolerant.

Aww, what a cutie pie, and i love her name!
When I caught Ani she was covered in motor oil. I had to give her a bath, she also was very good about it, and then i had to blow dry her.. for like an HOUR!
I trully wonder why anyone would want a rabbit fur coat, you get that thing wet and it takes forever to dry!

That is not why NO ONE should want a fur coat made of rabbit skins or any other animal. But I know what you mean.

Cute indeed.

Aww, cute. ;D

I had the same problem with my parents' bunny, Ellie. She was a New Zealand/Himalayan mix, and must've weighed anywhere from 12-15 lbs. (She should have been about 10!) She had trouble reaching her bottom due to her enormous chin. After I moved in with them though, I put her on a diet (no alfalfa hay, no "bunny seed mix" that they were buying her, and no more unlimited pellets!) She got down to about 10 lbs, I think, and looked alright. But then she passed away, sadly, at the age of 2, possibly of uterine cancer, but I think being so overweight really took it's toll on her.
