Charlie and Lola
Young Bun
Yesterday morning i discovered my gorgeous dwarf lop, Charlie decapitated in the garden. Actually, Charlie was my 6yr old sons rabbit, and it was my son who found him first. I am devastated and feeling so guilty right now i can begin to tell you.
6 months ago I bought them a huge 6x2x2 two storey hutch that seemed like a great hutch for the money, but they had chewed through the second level floor to such an extent that i had had to dismantle it and start rebuilding it as a 6x2x2 single level hutch. As this took far longer than i had expected i left them out in their run overnight. They had a hide, were on the patio, and the run was fully covered with chicken wire.
I knew that foxes could chew through the wire, but thought ''it's just for one night'' so it'll be fine.
Well it wasn't, and the fox chewed through the wire in the lid and took poor Charlie.
Please Please Please..... learn from my STUPID mistake..... you only have to mess up ONE time and you will pay the price.
