Hello everyone
I have just been to a place close by to me called Dobbies. It is a large garden centre, but the one near me has a pets shops attached to it aswell
I was told by a work colleague that they have a lionhead baby in there who has only recently arrived. I know I shouldn't, but I went to have a look
There animals are kept clean and they have space to move around, however I questioned the staff as to the history of the little buck I was interested in and was horrified to discover that they use a breeder who just sends rabbits to them on a regular basis via a van driver. :shock: and if they aren't what they want they go back.
They were unable to tell me the history and parentage of the little bun and I did have alarm bells ringing because he has a runny bottom and there were large clumps of sloppy poo in his run with him (along with some normal ones too) His eye also seemed a little watery.
There were also two beautiful young lops next to him, divided by a grill and both of them were sneezing, which worried me and they too came from the same breeder.
This little boy who I went to see is so tiny and whilst he isn't being offered for homing immediately, he looks too tiny and delicate. My heart tells me to get him out of there but my head has alarm bells ringing.
Have any of you come across problems with rabbits from Dobbies?
