Tony is a young male rabbit who was handed over to me today, he had been discovered having been allowed to run free in the garden with another rabbit. His 'caring' owner was not interested in securing their safety, and did not returned them to their hutch at night either. Tony originally lived in an area where a number of people have said that foxes are not normally known to roam, and he lived in a garden which had fences which were in excess of 6 foot hight, according to some people this makes it a secure garden :roll:

The gentleman who brought Tony to me, had said that originally there were 2 rabbits living in a tiny hutch, he had spoken to their owner who was disinterested in them but would not rehome them. Tony's partner disappeared one day and has not been seen since. When this gentleman reported to the owner he had not seen one of the rabbits for a few days, the owner was not in the least concerned to hear that one of her rabbits had gone missing.

Tony was removed from the garden by this kind man and has been handed over to ARC to find him a loving home. He assures me that the owner does know that he has taken the rabbit and he is being handed over to ARC.


Tony is a lovely rabbit, I am assuming about 3 - 4 months at the very maximum as his testicles have only just started descending. In a couple of weeks Tony will be neutered and start his vaccination programme.

Tony will be lookign for a home in the near future to be paired up with a female. By his size I would assume that he will be a small - medium size rabbit. He would love a nice big hutch with a run attatched as he has spent a number of weeks free range. He is currently living in a 6 foot hutch with me :oops: EDIT: have to admit I am not living in the hutch with him :lol:

If you would like more information please pm me or email janice@animalrescueandcare.org.uk

Awww, what a sweetie. Why do some people even bother to keep rabbits, if they don't care what's happening to them. :(

Now he is adorable. If bonding Molly with Charlie doesn't work out I could be seriously interested if he is still available after that, but I've a feeling the little guy will be snapped up sharpish, he's just too cute.

He is a very hansom bun and seems very friendly and inquisitive, the first person who views him will adopt him i can guarantee.

In some light he looks grey, in a different light he has a blue tinge to him. I have to admit he is adorable.

I find it so odd that many of the buns who have been living in not so ideal circumstances often turn out to be the most lovliest of buns. Over the last few days I bonded a lovely himalayan lionhead who previously had lived in a hamster cage. He was the most lovliest rabbit you could ever want. He certainly will bring out the female he was bonded with as she was quite timid.
