We think we may have the chair figured out. We also learned why the rabbits we see in videos are usually taken outside to a parking lot. If we thought he was fast just scooting, the wheels make him pretty ridiculous. His bedroom is not nearly large enough for him to get around, and he keeps getting caught on things. I'm kind of tempted to make him something a bit more maneuverable for indoors, like a sack with a board and wheels stuck to it. Like some of the beggars we saw in China who didn't have any legs. Sorry for the image, but it might work for him.
In other news, Jeannette from Triangle Rabbits and her husband (I hate just calling him "her husband" but I'm terrible with names) came to visit him and gave us some good advice and much needed commiseration. They also showed us what we've termed "rabbit people" can do that we can't. Not only is there a deeper love of the species, but also an understanding that we just don't have. Like, they could scratch his ears way better than we can. Little things like that, I believe, would make his quality of life that much better if he were with people who understand him.
We love the little guy, but we know we aren't the right family for him. We've had a few hits, which is good, but nothing concrete has happened. We've been putting things--like his neuter, a deep cleaning at the vet--off, with the hopes that his new caretakers, who will surely materialize quickly, will take care of it. I'm starting to think we should just do what we know needs to be done for him, and if someone seriously wants to add him to their family, they will understand his needs and current situation.
