Buzz the balding, mischievious, sleepy, possum food pinching bunny



















Buzz has been losing the fur from the back of his ears now extending to the top of his shoulder blades.
No sign of mite dandruff and the vet saw him today and couldn't find any mites on a skin scraping.
The skin looks fine its just the fur isn't growing back...I thought he was moulting at first but this started about 5 months ago.
If anyone has any ideas let me know.
He doesn't seem bothered by it but it looks rather odd.

















And here are my 2 mischief makers who quickly got into the bread before I was able to get all the shopping inside and out of their way.
The bread was swiftly removed as its bad for bunny tums but I couldn't resist a pic first...LOL.
Here's Buzz getting into the branches I collect for the possums and then having a nap...just 'cause he's cute ;)

Dimi




















Here are a couple of pics of Dimi the little orphan Brushtail possum whose Mum was hit by a car and killed.

Luckily someone thought to check her pouch and got the little bub to a wildlife carer who then sent him on to me to raise.

He was around 100g when he came in and is now 1.8kg and looks very different.

He has moved on to another carer who has an aviary available for him to get some exercise for a couple of weeks to build up strength before he goes back where he belongs...the tree tops.


This is him now:

What am I up to these days!

Well in the last 6 months I've quit work...yay! I've begun wildlife careing, the house is full of possums and I often get a call out at any time of the day to go rescue an animal.
Since last September I seem to be doing far more crochet than knitting. I really need to do some dying but haven't got to that yet, I've plenty of raw yarn waiting for my colourful insprirations.
I'll get back more regularly.
