Wise Old Thumper
We had a lady who is a carer and works for the council ask us if we'd be able to take in a rabbit that one of her 'clients' was keeping in a hamster cage.
We really haven't the room, but didn't feel we could refuse, and she brought it in today.
The people hid the cage from her when she visited, so they knew they were in the wrong. The cage was a step up from the Roddy hamster cage.
The rabbit is an agouti Netherland dwarf and he is absolutely gorgeous
His claws looked like Freddy from nightmare on Elm Street and some have twisted and grown under. Not sure what he was being fed on, but there was no hay present. A visual check of his teeth seems okay, but we'll have a proper check at the vets. All things considered he looks good.
Apparently the family are always having dogs, cats and all sorts of animals appearing and then disappearing when they decide they can't cope. I have advised her to contact the RSPCA next time as they can then monitor the situation.
