Back in October we (being me and mum) noticed that there were three littermates not surviving, growing, developing at the rescue I volunteer with. After some talking to some people I found all three a home, as a trio. The home couldn't take them straight away, so knowing they had a home, I brought them here.
A trio of bunnies, all bonded, who were only here temporarily, but had another home to go to, was perfect. I love being that halfway house.
It didn't go to plan (mostly due to the fact I made them healthy :lol. The trio divorced, so all were single. They grew, got healthy and thrived and no longer could go as a trio, and no longer needed the special home they were going to go to (generally, as a trio). We found one had a lot of dental issues (making him unadoptable), one was brewing (likely making him unadoptable) and one appeared healthy.
I have three rabbits here whose needs I'm not meeting. They all live alone. All live in inadequate housing to accommodate all three. None get enough time with me, or enough run time. They do, however, get their needs met more with me, than they do with the Centre. I wish I could keep them all ans bond them with appropriate bunnies, but that's not an option either.
So, we've gone from a sickly trio who had a home, to three beautiful, single bunnies (two of whom are generally deemed 'unadoptable' by my rescue) who dont have the life they truly deserve. It's so, so difficult, and I feel bad for letting them down. I also feel so overwhelmed with having these bunnies and knowing I'm not giving them what they deserve.
(also, all the people I've spoken to from here, and have been involved with these bunnies, in whatever way, are and have been awesome, this is is no respect related to anyone other than me and the fact that I feel I'm letting the down but I can't actually do anything to change the situation).
Its so frustrating. I'm so desperate for them to find their forever homes. The sooner they can go, the sooner they can get the life they deserve.
