Ive just had a major falling out with my parents and i have to rehome my bunnies
I will start at the very begining!
Last September my mum and I opened up a snackbar, things got going really well and i was working from 8 til 5-6 monday to saturday. I didnt mind because it was helping out my mum start her business and it was bringing in some money (not alot but enough)
By the begining of November i realised that i was struggling to cope with the bunnies, Leave the house at 7.30am get home at 5.30/6pm get ready (shower etc.) have dinner sit with Fudge (Bf comes round then) Take Boyfriend home at 9.30/10pm, go out and see millie and Thumper and feed them go to bed 11.30/12pm and start the day again.
I was constantly tired, never had anytime to do anything and it was causing major stress on me and my relationship because i was always so tired!
I was talking to a family member about this one day when she said she wouldnt mind taking millie and Thumper for a little while until my mums business was running smoothly and i was working less hours etc.
She had bunnies before who she loved and looked after well and i trusted her so i thought it was a good idea atleast then they would have more time with her than with me (they love human company)
Anyway i gave her everything she needed (Food, hay bale, straw, blankets, treats, money for veg, litter, vets number etc.) and away they went to stay with her.
I missed them loads and always gave her a text to see how they were. She said they have settled in fine and are enjoying running about her garden and getting inside for snuggles. I was happy knowing they were happy and i had more time for me and Fudge and my boyfriend.
I was going to get them back before xmas but because i was going to Fort William for the new year i asked her if she wouldnt mind having them for another 2 weeks and she said no bother. Well when i got home from Fort William i text asking if i could go get the bunnies and she said she wasnt home but i could go round and get them as they were outside and their stuff was in the open hut.
I went round and got the biggest shock of my life, i burst out crying at what i saw. My poor babies were sitting in the most revolting hutch ever, soaking wet with wee, piles and piles of poo, no hay, no water, they were filthy and very skinny. I went in to get them and they ran away so scared Picking them up was awful they were so skinny, not like a bag of bones but still skinnier than normal
I was furious, i got them home set up their indoor cage, filled it with hay, gave them fresh water and some food which they ate like it was the end of the world and i was straight on the phone to that family member!
She said she did feed them, they were the exact same as when she got them, they got cleaned out once a week and they were happy :shock: I screamed and shouted and cried and told her to burn in hell for what she done:evil::evil::evil:
Ive had them home now for almost 3 weeks and they have gained a little weight. I fed them some porridge to help them gain weight and they dont smell so bad of pee and they are much cleaner than they were! Still not 100% but we are getting there slowly although they still hate getting touched and they always hide
Anyway tonight my mum and dad wanted to talk to me about them because the house "smells" and they are very unhappy with 3 bunnies in the house :?
I told them they dont smell at all but they dont care anymore they want me to rehome all the bunnies I tried and tried to win this battle and the best i got was "1 bunny, thats all youre allowed. So choose!" I cant believe them they are awful and im heartbroken. I cant split millie and thumper up they have been together for almost 3 years and they are so in love. And fudge is my baby i couldnt rehome her so im allowed to keep Fudge but have to rehome my beautiful Millie and Thumper, my first 2 bunnies and Fudges mum and dad
I cant believ this, i already lost beautiful Blackie, dont get to see Skye or Gizmo and now i have to rehome Millie and Thumper! Its not fair, i have a migraine from all of the shouting and crying, im devastated
I need them to go to good homes where they will be loved loads and get the space they need and the time and devotion for them to gain human trust again
I cant believe this is happening......is there anything i can do, they are my babies
I will start at the very begining!
