Update from
the foster home:
These big mamas have adapted quite
successfully into the life and style of their foster family. They
were sent into foster care when they were acting out due to the
stress of shelter life. Foster mom says they are just plain awesome
if they’re getting their proper amount of exercise and aren’t
being cooped up to deal with all their excess energy. Their appetite
is just superb and though they’re being fed proper quality
and quantity of diet and getting tons of playtime they haven’t
lost any weight- these ladies are just big-boned giants! Their cage
is placed in the kitchen and they get free run of the bunny-proofed
room. They will chew things (they’re rabbits) so they’re
supplied with ample amounts of toys among which is their favorite,
cardboard! Foster mom says they’re finicky about being touched
and man-handled but that they come up to spend time with the family
at night when it’s quieter and will take scrumptious treats
from you. These lovely ladies are used to elevated noise levels
because of the young children of the family. These girls will be
able to go home with respectful children, such as they’re
accustomed to now. They also reported that you can tell when the
girls are hungry because they’ll be underfoot hopping around.
They also seem to respond to “call” noises that get
their attention and they’ll come to you. Let us know if you’re
interested in these big mamas and we’ll arrange for you to
see them!
Kama and Drucilla were brought to the Animal Refuge League after
being abandoned at the Fryeburg Fair. The person who brought them
to us kept them in an outdoor hutch until we had space for them
here at the ARL. When the girls came to the ARL they were absolutely
terrified of people, shying in the corner of their cage and then
running as fast as they could if someone stuck their hand in the
cage. After their short stay, with lots of out-of-cage exercise
and handling, Kama is really beginning to trust people. Drucilla
is still a little nervous but seems to enjoy being held, and is
much easier to catch now! The girls will be made available to live
in a quiet household with older children. Gentle dogs and cats should
be okay as well. Come see this adorable duo at the ARL today!
