I am in competition with a local awful awful breeder on the collection of local free to good home rabbit hutches! Its the same breeder that sent Arthur and his sister to a death sentence at a falconery.
He stopped breeding rabbits for a while after I'd complained to the RSPCA but I have noticed that he has been advertising for rabbit hutches free of charge in the local area. So what I have been doing is a) subscribed myself to the same advertising places as him (he linked his adverts!) but I paid more and I get the adverts a day early, b) I then go and collect every single hutch that is offered. and c) When I get them home I dismantle them and take the wood to the recycle tip. None of the hutches have been a decent size so no use to anyone and he doesn't go for any hutch over 3ft as he doesn't have the space.
So far I am winning because today (he doesn't know who I am ) he emailed my user account and said he was going to complain about me to the advertisers saying I was starting a business and not leaving any hutches for him. he said:
'dear rabbitsaver, I write to complain about your constant buying of hutchs in the Letchworth area and I am going to take this higher. I am on benefits and can't aford new hutchs so need on these free hutchs for my rabbits babies. I need one hutch for the mum, one for the dad and 2 for the boys and girls. I currently only have one hutch so your stopping a disabled person have the pleasure of his hooby. I had to give up breding this year but thats sorted now.
Do you have any hutchs spare?
BunMan.'
I am furious with him but pleased that this is actually starting to get to him. I notice on his adverts he is now advertising for wood but it has to be delivered or small enough to get on a mobility scooter and free! I hope he will give up!
Incidently I have now taken 12 hutches ranging from 1.5x1ft :shock: lady said her bunny (a dwarf lop died when it was a 1year, poor thing stuck in that!) to 3ftx2ft. The only half decent hutch was a 4 hutch one but only 1ft deep so I have ripped the inside out, took the doors off, repainted it and its at the bottom of the garden as an alternative place to lounge for Arthur and his bun wife when they are free range in the garden.
