One rabbit too many
Tonight, as usual I fed my rabbits.
I was surprised Norma-Jean didn’t join the others to eat. She was behaving strangely, I turned arround to look at the others and there she was, eating like normal. I turned arround again and noticed that her ears were too short and she suddenly had black marks arround her eyes.
To my surprise, it wasn’t Norma-Jean. It was a stranger!
I don’t know what his name will be. I don’t know where I’m going to get the money to have him castrated or get him a hutch.
He’s very sweet though. And although I’m pissed off at his previous owners, (who had to break in throuh the garden fense to get him into my garden) who probably without knowing it made it possible for my three females to be pregnant now and my two males to need a vet on account of fighting wounds, I’m keeping him.
As a semi-joke and after an overwelming response in a chat-channel, here are the naming options (to fit in my naming scheme, Marilyn, Monroe, (Marilyn) Manson, Norma-Jean (Baker, Marilyn Monroe’s real name), John (Kennedy), Jacky (Kennedy/Onassis), Aristoteles (Onassis) and Athina (Onassis)):
Charles (Manson)
Robert (Kennedy)
Brian
Hugh
Warner (Marilyn Manon’s real name)
Add: Broer Konijn (from De Donald Duck)
You can send your donation and your favorite name to my bank account ;-)
Postbank; 6875344; M. Schoon Amsterdam Zuid Oost
The name that recieves most money before the end of the month wins. All money that I (might) receive that is more than the castration costs and the new hutch will be donated to Konijnen Opvang Jamies in Hilversum.
They were willing to come and pick him up at ten in the evening, but I declined and decided to keep him myself :-)
Some more info on “him”.
He’s wite, with very cool black lines arround his eyes.
He’s tiny, like really small tiny, but an addult, with a high forehead and short ears, like a true dwarf rabbit :-)
He’s frightened, but sooooo sweet!
He’s an indoors rabbit, he doesn’t have a thick winter coat (so dumping him in a garden with the weather of the last few weeks might have meant his death).
He’s very overweight. He can’t keep his behind clean, he has infections in his lower regions because of that. (I’ve washed him with warm water and some tissues and will keep on doing that twice a day until he’s thin enough to do it himself.
He’s living in my bathroom at the moment, tomorrow I’ll get him a hutch.
He’s going to get his (now infected) balls cut off ASAP, so he can become a happy rabbit with girlfriends!
PS.:
I just gave him a closer look when cleaning his behind, he has a wound on his lip, looks like a bitewound. It’s slightly swolen, so I’ll keep a close eye on that

The first ten Euro’s are in. Seeing my account overview and noticing those extra lines there brought tears to my eyes.
I was so mad at the world tonight, it surprised me that there still was some good and compassion. Thanks for making my night!
BTW, jant, you still have a name to pick!

He didn’t poop tonight, not a good sign.
I’ll keep a close eye on him, once I have him in a proper hutch. I’ll get some white towels to geek a closer eye on the pooh situation.

The pooh situation seems to be going good, his pooh is stil about the size of a large pin-head, but still, he’s doing good.
He’s been humping his stuffed animal (rabbit shape) and is lounging next to “her” right now, all relaxed!
I’m really happy, he’s in my bedroom, so I kept a close eye on him tonight, he’s drinking, eating and humping a lot, so I guess he’ll be fine!

First thing in the morning turned out to be kindof late, had a busy day yesterday, but the money is on its way :)
Glad it’s going so well!
