So a few weeks ago my husband, Scott rescued Flopsy after she was seen roaming the gardens where he works for over a week - it turns out that the groundsman had been trying to shoot her with a air ruffle / pellet gun. After Scott rescued her, he contacted all the animal rescue organisations in the area but no one had reported her missing so he decided that he would bring her home to me as I was desparate to have a pet but as we both work full time, we were unable to have a puppy. A rabbit is perfect for us as we were planning to keep her indoors until we got her an outdoor hutch for the day and then we were planning to bring her indoors at night. So after only having her for 2 days we took her to the vet to be checked out and vaccined. We were told that she was female and definitely not pregnant - when we were ready, we should bring her in for spaying. So we decided to book her in for being spayed and microchipped and the appointment was for last week. Scott dropped her off at the vets and later that day, we received a call advising that she was on the operating table and had been opened up but that I needed to make a decision as she was pregnant! How ironic - here we are trying to prevent her from having babies and in fact she was pregnant! Anyway, we made the decision to save the kits and a day later she had 4 kits. It is now just over a week and there are 4 healthy kits!
