Two of mine are rescues the other was found wandering round someones garden and i took her in.
 
Me :wave:
I have Rabbits from a Breeder and a Petshop aswell as from Rescues.
I wont be taking on any more Rabbits but if I were to they would be from a Rescue. Buns that had been in Rescue the longest or a 'hard to rehome' Bun would be my choice

:)
 
Rodney - Found wondering the streets
Sophie - adopted from honeybunnies
Chloe - childs unwanted pet, friend of a friend situation
 
All my current bunnies are all rescues... But my first two bunnies I ever had were from garden centres. :) Never really knew that there were so many rabbits in need of homes and stuff.
 
well chelsea and chocolate were rescue buns. from cheltenham animal shelter... but i had dora (and snowy) off a free ad to save them. and got arthur from appauling conditions off free ads too. same with cocoa who will eventually be looking for a new home but not till new year i would think so while i think rescue buns are best i do take in buns who have had a rough start elsewhere xx
 
Mine are from all over...:wave:

Lopsy - Breeder
Jack - family friend didnt want him
Toffee - (Jack's brother) same as above
Bo - PAH adoption
Tigger & Lindt - Honeybunnies rescue, Jill
Bella - PAH adoption
Angelica - PAH adoption
Oscar - Breeder
Tommy - Work friend no longer wanted him
Jasmine - Carolines Rescue in Eastbourne
Petra - Tracey Barc
Amstel - Ange Barc
Violet - Honeybunnies rescue, Jill
Ollie - Ebay, no longer wanted
Little Ben - Ebay, no longer wanted

I will now only go to rescues :) (not that i intend on getting any more) :lol:
 
I've had Charlie from breeder, Mocha and Nesbit rescue buns and Peppa unwanted pet. And now Harry from a breeder. I'd much prefer rescue/unwanted rabbit than breeder.


Why you asking?
 
My two were from a breeder (she was selling up, and I got my boys at 4 months old). I didn't know about rescues at the time, and I do feel guilty about going to a breeder, but I love my boys SO much, so for that reason, I have no regrets :love:
In future, I would go to a rescue :)
 
3 of my current ones are from petshops and 3 are rescues.

I had two childhood bunnies who I got from BYB's and I have 6 Bridge bunnies who were all rescued.

My 3 petshop bunnies were all from before I discovered and started rescuing and I would NEVER buy again.
 
i just wanted to see which one was used more

Your poll wont give an accurate answer as it asks 'is any of your buns from a petshop'.

Three of mine are so I answered yes but I have had 9 from rescues, which makes the poll biased towards petshops.
 
There was a poll done ages ago. I think there generally results were most people got their first rabbit from a pet shop but subsequent rabbits from rescue etc.

It's not uncommon for people to initially get a rabbit from a petshop or be given it by a friend then do further research and go to a rescue.
 
Barley is from a pet shop, from a time when I genuinely didn't realise that there were rabbits in rescues (I had only heard of cats and dogs before). I would only get from rescues from now on.

mine are from all rescues off here:D or rescues I have taken in and they have been so badly treated that they stay

the only one we ever got from a pet shop died about 2years ago
 
Mines from an advert on one of these dodgy sites :( hugosthere tried to advise her but she wasn't having any of it, so i was the next best thing ;) sorry forgot to say we will be looking for a rescue girlfriend for him :love:
