I posted a while back about rehoming a rabbit for a work colleague who no longer feels able to care for him due to pregnancy (and also i think money tbh)
Well, despite SOAD kindly advertising him on here and also me putting him on the rehoming website there have been no takers
Now I'd never met the bun as i'd not been round her house before, but she's away at a caravan so today and tomorrow i'm feeding him, i went this morning and it's really upset me and i've been dithering all day whether to post about it in case it somehow got back to her, and i hasten to add i know she loves him and his situation is simply not knowing better and not having the funds to do any different, but - I was shocked to find his cage is tiny i'm sure it's meant for a hamster at the most, he has just a heap of what i think is that "my little friend" hay in the corner but he's used it as his loo so he's not eating it, there's 1 toy thing hanging off the bars and that's it. he's on Wagg bunny mix and she's put a cereal bar thing in as a treat.
I don't know what to do, if i could have him i would but I just don't have the room for him, my two's hutch and run takes up most of the lawn as it is, there's just isn't the space for another 6 foot hutch
I was thinking of taking some loo rolls round tomorrow and stuffing them with some nice dried grass and taking maybe a couple of yoggy drops and some of that naturals herbal delight, but then i'm thinking, what's worse - never having it in the first place and not knowing any different or having it for a day then back to nothing???
He does have a little run that goes out in sometimes but i think he's pretty much in that cage all the time.
I had two indoor cages that jess and Joe used to use as toilets when they were indoors but i've lent one to another work colleague to use until she's bonded her two buns together and i need the other one for when Jess gets spayed and will have to come back indoors for a bit, but even if i do offer her the larger of my indoor cages it's still not suitable for a rabbit to be in permanently (although it is better than what he's got now)
It's an awkward situation and i really don't knwo what to do about it :? Any ideas please? thanks xxx
