One week update on Cotton! Her neck is healing FANTASTIC from the botfly removal and she's on the road to full recovery. Cotton is the sweetest, most affectionate rabbit. Her remaining little cotton balls are thriving, but unfortunately the 2 runts did not make it which I predicted based on their condition when they came to me. But the 8 healthy kits are alert and eyes are open! It's their nap time 💤

We have a happy update on Cotton here! We rescued her yesterday after she was replaced with a "new pet" by her human family and was left in a cardboard box, along with her TEN very new babies. We removed over 30 ticks before letting her rest for the night, but today was another story. She had two botflies, one rather large, on either side of her neck. They were not an easy removal, but she is so kind and trusting of humans and let me remove them without too much struggle! She is now cleaned up and drying off, hopefully feeling better and will be returned with her babies in an isolated cage and eventually joining the other does. All 10 kits are alive, but it looks like at least one is struggling to survive due to being the runt. Keep sending good vibes her way as they all recover from the extreme neglect.

Had these bonded Lops out for some time alone today! They were exploring our rocky hill (supervised, of course) as you can tell 😍
Definitely going to have to brush them out after this 😅

Our little pedigreed Netherland Dwarf kit is super active lately! Momma had just the one, and s/he's spoiled rotten 😍
