INFO:
Dates: Started fostering: Feb 28th, 2015 - Adopted March 7th, 2015
Florida White Male (fixed). He is about 4lbs & as of March 7th, 2015 is about 8 months old. Sven is a REW (Ruby Eyed White) ie, albino.
BACKGROUND:
Sven was found by Jennifer (a EBRR volenteer) running around Niles Canyon (near the railroad tunnel), dumped by some scissorbill.
REW is a "genetic deviation" caused by a lack of melanin, which is a vital pigment that gives all creatures, including humans, their skin/ fur/ hair/ eye color.
Therefore his eyes have no color. What you see is the color of the blood vessels within the eye. You can see examples of different eye colors in rabbits here.
CURRRENT DIET:
Unlimited Hay (Timothy or Orchard)
Unlimited fresh water - in bowl or crock (no bottle)
1/4 cup Oxbow Adult Basics/T (7-8AM)
Vegatables: 3 cups mixed daily; really likes romaine lettuce, cilantro, parsley (only 3 times a week), spring mix (limited amounts 2-3 times a week) and other rabbit safe veggies mixed in limited. (8-10PM)

MEDICAL:
Feb 28th: Sven looks good. Turn in of both front paws. Out-turning of rear right (~5°) & left (~15°)
Looks like a slight varus (in O) misalignment of (carpal?) joints in his two upper limbs.
After two days with me Sven would visit me in my little office and jump on the computer and then onto my lap for pets. He would sit there for 30mins or more. He is a very good and friendly boy.
