Coconut is here!

 
Coconut, my new foster rabbit, arrived before noon today. She's been cooped up at the shelter for a while. We arranged for her to be spayed this Tuesday, but due to some respiratory infection, the procedure is postponed. Now, she's on antibiotics for 10 days to fight off the sneezing/coughing (I couldn't tell the difference).

She seems to be a cautious girl. It took her over an hour to move out of the carrier and into the cage. But after she's out, she seems eager to explore and is moving in and out of the cage to nearby places just sniffing around. At 9.5 lbs, she's bigger than Poppy (8 lbs). And when she stands, her head can peek out of her cage top (2 ft high). She also seem to have a big rear end. I think some of the existing tunnels in my house might be too small for her. At the moment, she's stretched out resting. So I'd say she's settled in nicely so far. Posted by Picasa

  1. Hi!
    I thought I would drop by and check on how you two are doing. I played your video memorial on Poppy and love what you did for her. She seemed so happy with you. :( Hope all is okay with Coconut!
