After reading another thread on here i can't stop thinking about the fact that we all try to resist buying from p@h and suggest to everyone that they only get new rabbits from a rescue etc....
All of my rabbits were local rescues - one from a breeder, who a friend alerted me to. Lola was almost 6 months old (dwarf lop) and living in a 3ft x 1ft hutch with her mum AND sister! (i brought both her and her sister home but we sadly lost her sister).
Peppa was the unwanted bunny 'out the back' in a pet shop.... i don't even want to think where she would be if i hadn't come home with her.
Woody was bought as a childrens pet but at only 3 months old they decided it was too much like hard work, and knowing i had rabbits asked if i'd take her.
I kind of feel that at least rabbits in rescues are guarenteed a good home now, so have always taken rabbits who could have ended up anywhere. What are your opinions on THIS SUBJECT?
I know every rabbit deserves the same chance of a good life, but in trying to discourage breeders and pet stores from selling bunnies, are we in a way dictating which bunnies get the best chance at a good life?
I keep going back and forth on this so would really love to know what you all think x
