Help pet shop bunny

lydz

Alpha Buck
I was looking in a pet shop for some new toys for Gracey and heard cheeping so went upstairs. They had live animals :( they had budgies, hamsters and rabbits. The rabbits were in tiny triangle cages so little room to move :cry: one particular little nethie came straight to me and was licking me through the cage :love: completely broke my heart. Cant stop thinking about him - i shouldnt have gone upstairs!

Sorry just wanted to share with people who would understand.

"Tiny triangle cages" do not sound good.
 
Oh gosh, that would have upset me too. :( I avoid pet shops as best I can. I know they are not al bad, but if I really need stuff from them I tend to send my parents (then my mother comes in and tells me all about the cute little rabbits:roll:). The cages you describe do sound particularly bad. Poor little bunnies.
 
The same happened with me and Jasper, I fell for him and ended up bringing him home. :love: I know it was wrong of me but I never ever regret it, he's the best bunny I could wish for! :love:
 
Thanks for the advice i am going to start ringing relevant places on monday. I really cant stop thinking about them all. There was 2 to a cage unbelievably :shock: one cage even had a sign on saying 'hello im snowy i'm 2 and a half years old i live here' :cry: poor bun has never had any room to run and binky!
 
Good for you - you will be helping those animals no end. I think they should really stop allowing pets to be sold in pet shops now, too many in rescues.
