okay i got one like so now i'm going to give y'all a rabbit lore drop! meet this guy, #4, aka Number Fucking Four
be me
second year raising meat rabbits. mostly know what i'm doing
it's the day of the county fair
i'm dressed and ready to leave, all that's left is to grab my show rabbits from their hutch
look outside
little brother is chasing a white blur around the backyard
Oh Fuck
turns out one of the cage doors was open overnight. either accidentally unlocked, or somehow fell open. no idea. doesn't matter
thankfully, not the cage door of the rabbits i'm taking to show. those three are still waiting in their hutch, perfectly behaved
but in the other cage, 5/6 of the babies are running haywire around our backyard
we live on 3/4 of an acre, btw. it's a large backyard
whole family chases rabbits for 30 minutes
4 of the 5 escapees are caught
1 still eludes us. it's hiding beneath the shed
i have to leave for the show. family promises to catch rabbit and meet me there
i go to the rabbit show
parents show up right before it starts. they were unsuccessful in catching the last rabbit and have decided to try again when we get home
i do really well at the rabbit show :D my trio makes sale!!
we all go home
baby rabbit is ducking between fences outside. staying close but not close enough
finally my mom goes into the neighbor's yard and catches it from behind
rabbit screams bloody murder the entire walk home. it's not hurt. just furious at being caught
we discover this is rabbit #4 (we don't name the babies, just number them. helps with attachment as they are meat animals)
surely the excitement is all over! we can rest easy
NOPE
next day, #4 looks a bit sluggish. i start getting worried
day 2 post-escape, he looks almost on death's doorstep. Oh Fuck
during his hours away, he must have gotten into something bad
we scramble for what to do
he is floppy, clearly extremely dehydrated
but, on the plus side, his mother is still taking care of him! that's a good sign. rabbits won't take care of a baby they think is going to die. she's protecting him from his siblings and spending all day grooming him
the babies are weaned at this point, so he can't get his mother's milk to help perk him up
we improvise
we start syringe feeding him watered down heavy cream for hydration + nutrition
^^^^ do NOT do this. idk why it worked honestly. weaned mammals are lactose intolerant. somehow it worked, but don't try this home
but it did work
#4 managed to push through the worst of it and his body cleared whatever toxins were in his system
we were syringe feeding him every few hours. during the day when we were at work and school a neighbor came and did it. we didn't want this baby to die
and bonus: since he got held so much, he quickly became one of the most docile babies i've ever raised
okay, now it's over! he's healthy again!
NOPE
be me, a few weeks later
mom has been in the hospital. family is pretty stressed
but she's being released today! dad and brother are going to pick her up, i'm tidying the house, home alone
i notice a white blur running around in the yard
Oh Fuck
run outside. a corner of the cage wire has come loose. just enough for a baby rabbit to slip through
and guess who's fucking running wild in the backyard?
Number Fucking Four
i chase. he runs
i manage to corner him behind our pool chest. he's squeezed between the chest and the side of the shed
i reach down to grab him
Uh Oh
my arm is stuck
like. really stuck
like, wedged down to my shoulder stuck
try not to panic
panic a little
thankfully, i have one free arm and my phone
call neighbor
no answer
call other neighbor
no answer
call dad
answer! he's still at the hospital getting my mom released. won't be home for another 30-45 minutes
FUCK
try not to panic
panic some more
call neighbors again. still no answer
then, somehow, someway, manage to free my arm
we're so back
stick a pool net at one end of the tunnel. position myself at the other end
#4 falls right into my trap and into the pool net, where i grab him
obviously can't put him back in the hutch
am forced to take him inside and just let him hang out in the kitchen until my family gets home
that's where these pictures are from. look at his assholeish face :/
jk i love him
dad fixes hutch
finally, we're done
#4 is no longer with us, but he will forever live in infamy
