Big old Harry
New foster Harrison came from Fort Wayne ACC several weeks ago along with three other Flemish Giants apparently surrendered by the breeder. We shuffled some foster care slots and now Harry has come to stay with me.
We've been treating Harry for a snotty nose and a bad limp in one of his front legs (note how he holds it up), which some veterinary sleuthing pinned down to Pasteurella and hairline fractures, but things haven't gotten a whole lot better. I'm going to try with another vet and hopefully get him to the point of neuter soon enough that he might be friends with one of my own rabbits.
Harry is quite mellow; I've never seen a calmer, cleaner unaltered male bunny, especially when other rabbits are around!
Here's a bunny statue from the Vatican Museum. I'm just now getting everything downloaded from camera cards. Would you believe I bought a 2 GB SD card at one of the Vatican gift shops for €18? I expected to pay twice that.

Yeah, Harrison! You know, he looks great… the initial description of him was that he didn’t look to good, but he’s come a long way in a few short weeks. What a handsome boy.

Awww, poor Harry and his bad paw. Hope it feels better soon!

Yay Harrison, he looks a lot like Nathaniel. I hope you have great luck pairing him with one of your rabbits.

[...] Harrison lounges at the vet. He’s no longer limping nor sneezing, and he was neutered last week! After a testicle location complication, all is now well and as soon as the hormones are gone I can try bonding him with Vegas. Or Arliss. Or how did I end up with so many white rabbits? Joey looks tiny now by comparison. [...]
