Preloved Wanted Ads

Do rescues ever look at these? Yes I know theres always the 'want a doe for breeding' ones - but having just had a nosy myself alot of them are people wanting pets or companions for existing rabbits, so might easily be converted to rescues.

Anyway, was just a thought :)

I see the odd free ads one:D Send 'em an email pointing 'em to RR/RU:D I've only had positive responses from those types:D

I email them a link to RR and if local to ARC

Problem is a lot of people won't pay the £40 or thereabouts for a rescue rabbit, they don't realise neutering and vaccinating costs more than that. People who I've suggested a rescue bun to just won't contemplate spending that much when they can pick up a baby rabbit for £10 from a breeder or petshop :cry:

I found this aswell Kay:( someone I know just bought 300k house and drives around in a brand new BMW and 3 holidays per year abroad , I suggested a rescue to get a bun and she said no chance am I paying £40 for a rabbit! She said I haven't got that type of money to waste :rolleyes:
She went and got one from a pet shop in the end with a tiny hutch :cry:

:cry: yep, had the same experience. They went off to garden centre and got Daphne who very quickly turned into 'the rabbit' :cry:

Again, it's indicative of people valuing rabbits far lower as pets than a cat or dog unfortunately. I think people just don't realise the benefits of neutering rabbits and vaccinating them, if they did they'd see that rescues are a bargain!! I can't remember how much it was but I know Kay at Bunnyhops makes a 'loss' on every rabbit by the time it has been panacured, vaccinating and neutered not allowing for any other treatment, food etc.
