They have bonded!


Its worked! The above photo shows Celt and Flossie together.Ann tells me that she is now protective of him and watching over him, he is suckling from her and happy to have a mum to snuggle up to in his new stable.We are all absolutely thrilled for them both.This is what he really needed.The Daily Post have been to see him in his new surroundings and there will be a feature tomorrow I believe.Check out their website www.Dailypost.co.uk, if you cant get hold of a copy.
Now we can all get back to a normal routine.
We have a new rabbit in, a lovely longhaired black and white speckled female, very pretty and friendly for a change though the poor thing has been incarcerated in a small hutch for a long time so she is quite dispirited at the moment.Im sure after afew days, she will be running and junping round her enclosure, animals kept without exercise in small cages tend to become institutionalised after a period of time and this one is 3 years old, seems her owner lost interest and no longer bothers letting her out/cleaning her hutch.At least the girls mother did the right thing by handing bun over to the shelter. I do not know how anyone can walk past a caged animal without feeling overwhelmed with pity, do they not see their distress? Do they care? Sadly I doubt it. Anyway this lovely rabbit will now have a good life and one where she will have constant exercise if she so chooses.
Tomorrow will be very busy, we have the farrier and the equine dentist paying their regular visit to check out the feet and teeth of all our horses and ponies.It will be all hands on deck to help.
