Riki Higgins from Woodstock Farm Sanctuary shared that the duo, having never been treated as individuals, arrived scared and confused. The idea of stepping outside and feeling grass under their paws was a whole strange idea for both.
“They were timid [and] had not been treated as if they were individuals up until that point,” Riki Higgins, a member of the team at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, shared.
When the caregivers opened the hutch door to their new backyard, Figaro, the braver one, went out first, taking in his very first smell. Later, he hopped back to encourage Donna, who was a bit more hesitant, to join in the outdoor adventure. Eventually Donna made her first step outside, and the pair got to experience hopping in the grass together and finally feeling free.
“They were curious, eager to explore [and] encouraged each other,” Higgins said.
Curiosity and encouragement guided their daily activities, making their world infinitely richer. Donna and Figaro now love outdoor jumps and cozy snuggles atop their houses.
“They’re doing great,” Higgins said. “Donna is very outgoing, and Fig is more reserved. They love to go outdoors and jump around and then snuggle together on top of their houses inside.”
After a long journey, Donna and Figaro have everything they need and more, cherishing every moment of their newfound life. For those inspired to contribute to their joy, donations to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary are greatly appreciated.
