Young Bun
I woke up sunday morning to a banging on my front door looked at the clock 6:30am on a sunday morning the banging cant be good. I went to the door and one of the neighbors said a stray bunny was under a car (being the local bunny owner the area think its my problem :lol::lol: not that i mind in the slightest) Anyway went out to a terrified bunny that was trying to climb into the engine to avoid being caught. Eventually i managed to grab it smeared with oil and one of the worst cases of sticky bum i have ever seen.
The bunny had obviously been loose for two or three days and it has been terrential rain here.
So my dilema is this and i have told the rspca who agreed to let me keep hold onto the bunny instead of it being sent to a rescue, animal wardens, local vets (and i took it to the vets yesterday to make sure all was well as i was concerned about its water consumption amongst smaller things) Pdsa as well as the pet shops and places to try and reunite its owner .
The bunny has become quite attached to me know to the point where i have spent the last two nights sleeping on the sofa with it (I know that was a bad mistake) because it makes the most awful noise when i leave it, but stops as soon as come back into the room.
1, If no owner comes forward can i legally keep the bunny. As i have grown quite attached to it or will i have to hand it over to rspca or similar establishment.
2, If the owner does come forward would i be ok to ask for the vets bill reimbursed or is that just not on as it was my decision to take it to the vets.
3, Should i carry on letting it have free range of the house just incase the owner turns up and dosnt allow the bunny free range then i think it would be sad for it to be locked in its hutch again all day or would it easily get over that.
4 Has anyone got any suggestions on how i can wean this bunny of me as i cant go anywhere without tripping over the little rascal and as soon as i sit down plate of food on my knee or not the bunny is there knocking the food away and sitting snug in my lap or across my shoulders.
