Chester has tooth & gum problems which is also causing his left eye to weep.
Over his 11 years this was his second visit to the vet, the first was to be neutered – amazing. Due to his age we elected to put him down – very sad.

ET will not be happy!
It’s like 1:20am Thursday morning and only a couple of hours ago ET cleaned Chester’s hutch, all nice and clean tidy. Covered up like that he looks like a homeless bunny LOL.
Chester – browsing catalogues
Chester says: Just browsing through the latest Bunnings catalogue, I usually flick through to the garden plants section and eat those pages – yum.
He lives in a two story hutch that I built some years ago which is located in the downstairs entry foyer. This is a traffic bottleneck so he’s usually up to date with everyone and everything, if you want to know something – just ask him.

Rabbit Hutch
Chester our ‘dwarf’ rabbit is growing up quickly and will soon need larger accommodation – like a hutch!
He loves his outing’s in the cat run, everyone has fun.
Having a rest and catching up on backyard gossip with Holly our Golden Retriever.
Down to business in the garage workshop. I have a good supply of laminated chipboard from a shop refit so that’s what the hutch will be made of – easy choice.
The boy will have a two story dwelling with sleeping quarters upstairs and daytime lounge on the ground floor.
Adjacent to the spacious private bedroom is a balcony area that will have a nice view of the entry foyer.
A ramp provides access down to the ground floor.
For added entertainment there is also a play shelf that extends into the bedroom.
All this ex-shop timber is taking up a lot of room, need to move it out of the way – somehow?
The doors are ready to install. Waiting or the iron to reach ‘cotton’ temperature.
Applying the iron-on edge tape requires some patience
The boy has just moved in – lots of excitement!
View from the stairs landing. Chester having a chat with Milo while he waits for mum to finish the house cleaning for the first time.
