Snowball is a pretty lemon and white lop.  She came to us from the vet (see flystrike story). We are unsure of her age but is estimated to be around 2 years old.  She's also friendly, tolerant and sweet natured.  Snowball is very overweight at the moment, and we are putting off spaying her until she's slimmed down a bit. 

As she has had flystrike before, we need to be extra vigilant with her care and hygiene.

Snowball is a houserabbit and she loves lounging around the livingroom, watching telly.  She's not afraid of household noises or calm dogs, and loves being the centre of attention.

We have decided to keep Snowball, as she has problems with her spine (probably as a result of being excessively overweight at one point).  She recently lost the use of her back legs, but after rest and veterinary treatment, she has now regained some mobility (enough to jump up on the couch!).  She has remained loving and sweet natured throughout, and now we feel she deserves all the TLC and attention she demands!

Update 12/04: She was spayed recently and the vet discovered that Snowball's ovaries were cystic.  She had shown no sign of any pain or discomfort.  However, one of the symptoms of this is a hormone imbalance (which would probably explain why Bear was so enamoured by her! ), and she would have been a prime candidate for cancer at a later stage.  Thank goodness it was caught in time!

Update: Snowball has developed splay leg in her front legs which means she has more difficulty in moving around, but this doesn't hinder her at all.  When she sees us coming towards her with her food bowl, she shoots across the room .... unfortunately in the wrong direction as her legs don't go the way she wants them to *rolls eyes*, we do try not to laugh...

Update 02/06: Snowball is now a celebrity, she features in the RWF magazine, Rabbiting On, as a sponsor bunny!  AND, as of December 2006, on the Snugglesafe website modelling her food dish!

Update 01/07:  Snowball now has a new trick, she somehow manages to dislocate one or other of her front legs *feels sick*.  It doesn't seem to hurt her or put her off her food and it clicks back into place easily, so easily she manages to do it herself sometimes!
