Young Bun
There are 2 pet shops in the town where I live, a couple of doors away from each other, and each one has a brown bunny just now that no-one wants!! The first is a wee boy agouti about 4 months old, not sure what type but he's quite wee with sticky-up ears (much bigger than a nethie though). I spoke to the woman in the shop and she said that he had been left because nobody liked his colour.. Has anyone heard of agouti/brown bunnies being less popular?? I wouldn't have thought too much about it, even though the wee thing is so good-natured and has the most adorable face, but the other pet shop also has a 3.5 month old buck lionhead who has also been left behind because he's agouti! He is the fluffiest, cutest bunny ever (apart from my own two, of course) - and I just can't believe he hasn't been taken, but on talking to that shop's owner, it's for the same reason....
I really didn't think that colour was much of a factor for consumers to be honest, I've always ended up with a bunny because of personality.. I have a red eyed white and a black otter, which are unusual colours, but totally by-the-by in my opinion... Now I feel I should hit the nearest rescue and rehome all the brown buns!!!
