Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pellets: 1/8 cup Oxbow essential young pellet and 1/8 cup Oxbow essential adult pellet (starting 1/5/25)
Hay: Unlimited mixed hay
Salad: 1x a day 1 cup spring mix, parsley, cilantro, romaine lettuce
Meet Mallo, a curious and smart bunny with a heart of gold! Despite having his right leg amputated in November 2024 due to an infection from a broken foot and ankle, Mallo is learning to adapt beautifully to his new way of life. Because he is a tripod, he will need regular help keeping his ears and hind end clean. He's currently being cared for by a wonderful foster, who is helping him heal and regain his playful spirit post-op. Mallo loves exploring, playing with willow chew toys, and relaxing on timothy hay mats. He's great with his litter box and enjoys supervised playtime. Though a bit shy at first, he warms up quickly and loves gentle pets-though he'd rather not be picked up. His gentle curiosity makes him a great fit for a home with calm, patient kids. Mallo does display some territorial behaviors from time to time, including grunting, grumbling, or moving his ears back and tensing up when he's upset. Rescued with other young rabbits from another shelter, Mallo is ready to find his forever family!
Mallo arrived with suspected bite wounds on both of his ears that resulted in aural hematomas (swelling of the ears). The right one healed and scarred up on its own but the left required surgical correction. He has recovered well but it has left him with narrower ear canals that could make him more prone to ear infections down the line. His doctors also hope that the scar tissue will reduce over time and allow his ear canals to return to normal. With a little monitoring of his ears, he should go on to live a happy life, just like any other rabbit.
Neutered 9/4/24
Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. The virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit. Please make sure to vaccinate your rabbits every year. For more information, please visit our website at: https://sandiegorabbits.org/education/rhdv
