He's a good boy @Flutterby but exhausting! There's no malice in him but he does that typical cob thing of trying to use his weight against you. I'm currently trying to teach him to let me pick out his feet nicely without snatching or leaning on me. He's a lot of horse to hold up!
 
@Goth Mummy He certainly it! How old is he? I bet he just needs to be taught a few manners. I'm sure he'll get the perfect education with you. Nothing better than having a young horse to bring on, so rewarding!

He sounds like a positive challenge. Bet he's lovely to have around!
 
@Flutterby he's only 3, and yes done very little except sit in a field for most of his life, so he is just clueless. I do love him!

It's such a lovely day here. Piggies on the lawn with towels over the runs for shade, me on the sun lounger :-)
 
Thanks, the girls seem to love it :) I'm amazed how quickly baby piggie has settled in, she's a popcorning, zooming, chookening and wheeking ball of fluff. Katie & nala are teaching her every trick in the book to get extra treats already!
 
Morning.
Had a bad nights sleep last night...just couldn't settle..had things on my mind.
My sister in law has 3 rabbits ( she did have 4 until I adopted Castiel from her). She means well- but couldn't cope with Cas as he was too big and she was afraid of him...she only got the bunnies for my niece and nephew (he's 13 and she's 3).
They are kept in small hutches and although fed and dry in a brick shed...they do mean well and love the bunnies. But I have slowly been helping them with the remaining 3.
Now she sent me a facebook message last night asking do I want the 2 brother bunnies she has ...or know anyone who wants them. They don't come with a hutch as its crumbling away (it was old 2nd hand one she got last year).
The bunnies are about Cas age (1.5yrs)...un neutered and live together.
Now I know I probs cant adopt them as I am not working ( I am studying) and that would mean mum would have to pay for their bills etc and that means I wouldn't be able to help out. Buy I cant stop thinking about them...i feel so guilty and sad. I will ask mum what I should do (I love with her)....but I think other than asking around who wants two un neutered males (they are such sweet boys)....bunnies are so hard to rehome-let alone adult un neutered males....and also I worry who they may be rehomed with if I don't take them. (not that I have a spare hutch...would need to buy one).
I'm just feeling so guilty and sad for the bunnies. My sister in law means well- and I know she's been very ill for the last year or so...i just feel I am fighting a loosing battle...i just dunno what I can do to help. :|
 
Aww it's not your fault! I'm sure if you had the money you'd snap them up. Isn't there a rescue that she can take them to?

I am going to suggest a couple of places as you say. I just needed to rant. Only people.on here would understand as some people think put a rabbit Inna hutch and they are fine. (like piggies).
I am also gonna ask a few "animal people" although everyone I know is at their limits....but can't help but ask I guess. I wish I had a spare hutch and some spare cash to foster them...so frustrating.
 
It's crap isn't it.My sister has lost three rabbits in six months because she wouldn't listen to the advice I gave her about their care.At least she has asked for help and is keeping them healthy
 
Thanks guys. Am feeling better today than I was at 1am lol. Its horrible when you cant sleep....your mind just seems to go over drive when you cant sleep.
Hope everyone is having a good day x

Yep indeed- I try and give as much help as possible...just the hard part trying to be firm and make suggestions without making them feel like they are being attacked and only make things worse.
Yes they are in a shed so free from the weather and are fed each day (albiet nit the best diet - but indeed am pleased she's asked for help - unjust wish I could take them. I am gonna chat to mum later and see what we can do to help (if anything other than just give numbers and names of rescues etc).
I just wish they were girls then I could try and mix them with Castiel at least...oh well. X
