Popped into P@H today as daughters wanted to spend their money on the buns
In the adoption centre at the back of the store was a black giant lop in a small space I reckon was about 3x3 ft. She was all alone and I felt totally gutted to see her there. I kept going back to look at her and felt so sorry that she was in this tiny little space.
Anyway, totally unlike me but encouraged by some of the comments on here in similar situations, I asked a member of staff why she was kept in that tiny space when there was two other enclosures much bigger, I stressed that she needed space.
The assistant told me that they couldnt put the giant in with the tiny buns in the larger space as there may be some aggression as the giant was older and bigger. She said that they never have buns this big in the store and that they had two given to them as unwanted rabbits. They were both in a separate small pen next to each other and at 6 am every day they were both allowed out for a romp around the store! One has now been rehomed and the other has now been reserved for adoption. They said that they realised the space was too small but that they do get her out into more space when the store is closed and have tried to give the best under the circumstances.
A bad situation turned good I hope, I am glad I asked because I know this would have played on my mind, poor bun.
Meanwhile, I heard a mum say to her kids, ''right then do you want a fish or a rabbit'' then saw them buying guinea pigs
