I am really glad there is so many people who point out that the bunny is a wild one, sick looking and way too young to eat lettuce. as funny as the subtitles are, it makes me cringe seeing them posted with an animal obviously in a bad situation. I cared for wild bunnies myself and the trick is not to handle them anymore than absolutely necessary. so taking them out for a little photo shooting is totally out of the question. please make sure he gets what he needs (warmth, the right milk substitute, REST) so he wont just die on you.

Awwww.

He looks VERY tired. And oddly not interested in the lettuce.

Love eet ^_^

T.U.M. gave me an earworm!

Jmper – screw her. She abandoned yer lil kneesock and has no right to get him back. If she does get a hold of you and gives you a hard time, tell me and I will come over with my brass knuckles.

sorry for the late response. I can tell this is a wild bunny, b/c I volunteer at a wildlife center and deal with bunnies like this all the time. It is an eastern cottontail. I also volunteer at a shelter w/domestic bunnies, and there really are no domestics that look like eastern cottontails. Not sure if this link will work, but here’s a link to info on eastern cottontail babies (this is not from where I volunteer). http://www.volunteersforwildlife.org/help/baby_mammal/eastern_cottontail/

a bunny that young should still be drinking it’s mother’s milk. be careful with it even if its a little cutie :/

Big thanks to everyone who has given me advice. Rosie Posie I do live in Illinois so that was a big help. Anyways in the knee sock drama of ‘09 (this is what we are calling it) I called my brother who is a lawyer said basically what everyone else is saying. But it might be a moot point. I tried calling her back last night and her voice mail box was full. I have not heard from her since. I did my best to contact her, but I am not going out of my way to get in touch. Who knows maybe she moved away already.

So a big big thanks from everyone in the Jmper house…Rylee, Bear, Pippin, Me and of course Sir Reginal McStinkypants AKA Gerry the ferret.

UGH! Excuse the typos. I think I type to fast

Katrina…I did try the tomato juice and it worked a little. I did learn the hard way that the smell comes back when they get wet. Ewwww! We had her to the groomer and they trimmed her and used a skunk odor remover they had. She was fine when she first came home but the smell has returned, again! althoug not as bad as before. I found a recipe on the ‘net by a scientist using peroxide, baking soda, and dish detergent that is supposed to work really well. I may try that this weekend.

BTW, my dog is a whiner, which is her least adorable quality. (she has so many adorables qualities though that they cancel out the whining….usually) She’s also upset because she is being banned from certain rooms in the house because of the smell (previously she had the run of the place). We will never let her out at night off a chain again!

Odd about skunks…such an adorable creature but such a bad smell!

Welcome Noel Overloards! *Snerk*

Noelle-have you tried tomato juice for the doggie-who-got-skunked? V-8 works nicely too.
Been there, done that (times a few). She hates the way she smells and she may have a boo-boo that is stinging, or she may be a whiner, I don’t live with her. But, if you can help her change her smell to something more palatable, she’ll thank you for it.

Make sure to wash her face with a nice, moisturizing doggett soap, not the V-8.
(I know you knew that). Good luck.
