Probably Naive!

I've just been reading some articles regarding bunnies bought in pet shops and hearing the horrendous stories, which are awful and have upset me.

I have to confess that my bunny "Honey" was bought in a pet shop and the staff were and have been extremely helpful, I cannot fault there advice.

However I feel a bit guilty now that I didn't look at rescue centres or breeders and that maybe instead of buying books I should have done more research on websites and forums like this before getting her.

But I am extremely glad I did get her as she was the smallest in the litter and the other rabbits I imagine would have been sold a lot quicker but I will maybe not be so naive in the future.

She has grown so much since I bought her and I know she is one happy Bunny. :)
 
many of us on here got our first bunnies from pet shops. inlcuding myself! my peanut was in pets at home being nipped at by his 2 bigger brothers. he was quite small. he hid in a tunnel and i asked whether they were going 2 seperate him. id bought Jelly the day before, as was in PAH to get her some toys. she was nameless at the time.

They said 'nothing hell be okay' so i scooped him up and went 'he looks like a peanut butter' and when i got home i realised i had a Jelly :D

wouldnt change them for the world...but from now on its rescues all the way x
 
I think all bunnies deserve a good home where ever they come from. I do agree with you about going to a rescue centre in future. At the time I was getting a rabbit the rescue centre close to me would only rehome rabbits in pairs so I did go to a breeder.
 
:wave: i feel terribly guilty about my little monster not being from a rescue, i didn't really know anything about rescues and thought i'd never meet the criteria (why, i don't know, i'm a massive self-doubter!). i DO know, though, that he's in a good home and not unloved at the end of a garden in a tiny hutch, that could have been alot different if he hadn't come to me.

i also know that i'll be getting him a girlfriend from a rescue so i will be repenting for my sins! :lol:
