Bottrop. A walker found two abandoned ram rabbits in a wooded area. Because they are sick, they need a special home.
Abandoned in a box in a forest in Feldhausen: A walker discovered two male ram rabbits at the end of March and brought them to the Bottrop animal shelter.
Animal lovers have given the rabbits the names Red and Blue, based on the color of their eyes. They are very nice animals. Red is quite curious, Blue a bit shy at first, he makes contact cautiously at first. Unfortunately, according to the animal friends, it has both been discovered that they both suffer from Encephalitozoon Cuniculi, one of the most common causes of neurological diseases in rabbits – also known as Wryneck or Stargazer disease.
“Blue” is the name of the second ram rabbit waiting for new owners in the Bottrop animal shelter.
