DAISY - ONE "PET STORE" BUNNY'S STORY
(January 2007) Daisy is a little girl bunny that one of my volunteers saw in a local "pet" store. Daisy was totally starved, her ears were bloody, infected and full of ear mites and she had sore hocks on both feet. Her sore hocks were so bad the vet could see all the way down to her bone! Our vet told us that because Daisy was so starved and her feet were in such bad shape that she would probably never hop normally again, that she might not even survive. She had just given birth to six dead kits.
Zooh Corner Rabbit Rescue volunteer, Cricket (not the SG
) and I could not let little Daisy down, but I had a house full of bunnies already--so Cricket took her home and cared for her for several months. Day by day Daisy improved, and now she is a happy, bouncy SILLY bunny!
This is Daisy just four months after coming to us, starved and near death.
Shortly after this video was made, Daisy came to live with us as a pal for our little blind Puck, who had just recently lost his sister. We call her Daisy Duck-toes, cause they way she learned to hop on her painful back feet caused the toes to spread out. We also call her "Acrobatty Bunny," because she is crazy!
Rabbits and other animals are NOT merchandise and they do not deserve to be sold or treated as such. Please, if you want a pet--ADOPT--and don't buy pet supplies from stores that sell live animals

Thanks though.
It's been a long strange trip. I really hope I can make something of it this time.
