I had a phone call today from the women who I got Gizmo and Billy from. She said she had some bales of hay going spare as her two lionhead rabbits had died. She didnt do into any details but I am very dubious about how she cares for her animals. The reason Im concerned is because Giz and Billy were from a litter of seven, 6 boys and 1 girl. (I had two from the litter and another person had 1) The mum and the 1 baby female died last January due to "the cold" as this woman put it. Then two of the male rabbits were killed by a pit bull that was her ex-boyfriends. Apparently, according to her, the father of the litter, was either let out or escaped from his hutch/run never to be seen again. During last summer she also acquired another male rabbit (all these male rabbits were put together un-neutered) and two female guinea pigs. The last remaining male rabbits had to be put down because of some disease (she wasnt specific as to what it was). The female piggies were killed as the father rabbit had "humped them to death". Since loosing the remaining litter and both parent rabbits, two guinea pigs and a further male rabbit, she had obviously gone on since to get two lionheads which have now also died. I personally think they dont get adequate care in the cold weather. She also has cats though I dont know how well these are cared for but the last time I saw them they looked underweight.
My question is - can I do anything to stop this person getting anymore rabbits. If I ring the RSPCA, would they be able to warn her off getting any more as quite frankly I dont think she is capable of caring adequately for them. I dont want to sound like an interferring busy-body but, and please tell me if you disagree with me, she really shouldnt be getting any more pets.
