They are pretty boys 
We adopted these boys from the p@h adoption centre because they're brothers and were split up (wasn't happy about that) because of a fight that they supposedly had. There's a thread in rabbit chat about it. We plan to have them neutered and try to re bond them if we can Then they will go to a friend until we can find them a permanent home.
ETA Think its just the camera angle making him look like a nethie, they're both dutch

Yes these are the two i saw
Thank you
They're more settled today. I know i'm not able to keep them ( i wish i could) but at least i won't be worrying about where they might have ended up. They're lovely boys Minimallow, thank you. Going to let them settle in and get some weight on them before their neuters so no rush!

Don't wish to be picky but if you have adopted them then surely you shouldn't then rehome them?
I know we all have different feelings about the PAH scheme but adoption is just that..adoption..
They are very handsome and I have a soft spot for Chocolate dutches

Can you answer my comment re your Adoption please?
This is quite an important point to all the rescues on here

We were told be a member of staff that once we had signed the adoption papers the rabbits would legally be ours and that we couldn't bring them back! We did ask them if they had any health problems that were discovered after a check at our vets then where would we stand, the response to this was that once we sign the disclaimer then pets at home are not responsible for any health problems because they have been health checked in store. Basically once you get them out the door then their not interested. Not saying that's what happens in all these stores but this is what they told us in this store

In that case you need to complain about the procedure to their Head Office as this is not how the staff in their stores are meant to behave
I'm sure on the adoption form you've signed it states you are not to sell, pass on, dispose of the rabbits and if unable to care for them they must be returned to the store?:?

Sorry, it takes me a while to type I feel we are doing the right thing for these bunnies. There was no home check by this store, we were not asked where the rabbits would be housed, what we would be feeding them, or were told to house them indoors over winter. The guy was more interested in how much money we would be giving as a donation. If this was adoption for an actual rescue i would not re home them and if i couldn't look after them i would return them to the rescue. This company adds to the amount of rabbits in rescues. Maybe they shouldn't sell rabbits to whoever wants one because they're cute and just have a adoption centre instead if they weren't so interested in profit. I'm spending my own money to neuter these boys and have them vaccinated just they can be re homed to a good home.

ARC does also expect anyones whose conditions change and are no longer able to look after the animal to contact them and return the animal to ARC and not rehome them themselves.
To me someone adopting with the intention of rehoming one of our animals is not fulfilling the criteria of our adoption and I would expect them to return the animal to ARC.
I might sound harsh but to me it is unfair and stressful to any animal to rehome then and then rehome them again to someone else. Unnecessary stress can result in many stress related health issues which could be avoided if the animal was rehomed to a permananet home direct from the petshop
