Jasper is a lovely 8 (nearly 9!) year old albino buck.  He came to us in 2004 along with Pepsi and Snowflake when his owner, a lovely older lady, was being moved into sheltered housing and wasn't allowed to take her rabbits with her.  She was at her wits end as she'd been advertising and asking around for someone to take them in.  She eventually turned to her vet thinking she was going to have to get them put to sleep because nobody would adopt them.  The vet in turn asked C.A.R.R.O.T. if we could help her out.

Jasper hasn't had an easy life.  When he was a baby (less than a year old), the older lady had rescued him from a bunch of thugs who had been using Jasper and his brother as footballs, kicking them about the street.  It was unfortunate that Jasper's brother had already died from his injuries before she got to them.  The lady then took Jasper to live with her own two rabbits and they all lived together for a couple of years.  One day both the other rabbits turned on Jasper and nearly tore his face off.  His injuries were very severe and, as a result, he has scar tissue in his nasal passages making breathing very laborious for him sometimes, particularly when he's stressed (which is very rare nowadays!)

He now runs about in a hutch and run set-up and is never still, hence the Duracell tag.  He's turned out to be very sweet natured and loves to be held in someone's arms so he can survey all around.  He's unaltered but vaccinated.  We have no intention to have him neutered, due to his breathing problems.
