The place I went to today made them look like a Palace for bunnies!!
We are visiting family in Essex and on the way back from Colchester Zoo we popped into a pet store to have a look at stuff for our aquarium. It is a large place in Colchester (with a branch in Ipswich) and I came out and cried.
They had some gorgeous bunnies for sale. Unfortunately the hamsters were kept in bigger "tanks" than these poor things. They were probably 1/3 of the size of a standard indoor cage, with a glass front. In one of these "tanks" there were 4 harlequin coloured lops . In another of the tanks were 3 larger white bunnies and one had brown packing tape on his foot that he was struggling to remove. So I went straight to the tills to tell someone to remove it, he just laughed and told me he would do it right away
I just couldn't believe how small the tanks were that they kept them in (way smaller than even the P@H adoption section), the hamster cages were bigger just not quite as tall, there was only room for 1hop inside these cages. I want to write a letter of complaint to the company but don't really know what to say. Is there any minimum size that cages should be in petshops for the licenses??
I feel so sick thinking about the poor little things
