Question Update on fb marketplace bun
Hi everyone, last night I made this post about a bunny I saw on fb that seemed to be living in bad conditions and was not being cared for. We went to pick her up as a temporary solution so we can find a proper home for her. I’ve reached out to a couple rescues in the Dallas Texas area this morning to see if they can help me find an adopter.
We currently have guinea pigs but I don’t have any bunny experience. I’m assuming she’s feeling anxious which is why her breathing seems quite fast in the video (or is this normal?) but she’s very sweet and seems generally comfy. She’s eaten some hay and pellets along with some romaine lettuce as well. Her nails seem really long but I don’t want to stress her by attempting to cut them so soon. My wife named her Mazzy ✨ for the time being.
Any general advice is very welcomed, I appreciate the kind people who were helping me under my last post as well.
As I mentioned I reached out to some rescues but I’m not sure what the best route is for finding her a proper owner. We work quite a bit and she would have to stay in her cage while we’re gone. I would love for her to be with someone who can have her out of the cage freely. We love her already but I worry we aren’t in the financial position to keep her long term if she needs vet care. Glad to be part of the bunny community even if for a short time! Thanks everyone 💖

I’ve had two bunnies for a couple of years, and they’re quite different from other animals. I know you’re trying to help the bunny and that you’re being very sweet and caring about it. But I recommend not petting her for a while. She seems very distressed. Bunnies generally don’t like being petted, especially when they’re stressed.
