No but I'm considering it. There have been a few threads debating this in the past, I think one of the issues discussed was whether vets or whoever would check stray rabbits for microchips :?
I'm off to the vets tomorrow, will have to remember to ask about it
Nope but 5 of my 7 have rings on, I think a general member of the public is much more likely to see the ring and find out what the number means than go to a vets and scan for a microchip
I don't because mine are indoors and very rarely go outside.
If I had outdoor bunnies or they went outside more than 2 or 3 times a year, I'd get them chipped
Yes. Although it's a long shot that they would ever be useful if they were stolen/escaped/missing I would want to know that I had done everything possible.
A couple of times I've ummed and aahed about getting them done. Thing is there is always a gate or a door between them and the outside world when indoors and there is always someone around if they go outside and they only ever go in and out in their carrier.
Its basically injected with a large needle.
I would get mine done if they were outdoor buns, but as mine are 100% indoor bunnies I haven't at the moment
I get the rescues done and the rings you mention are only linked to the breeder not the person who owns it unless registered with the brc so they are a waste of time

They are registered to my name, besides rings can easily be transfered into a new owners name
Any good breeder should keep records, if they were contacted and told someone had found a rabbit with such number, they should be able to say 'yes this rabbit was rehomed to ...'. If the breeder didn't keep records (and my rabbits rings were registered with them) I'd ring them up anyway and let them know the rabbits gone missing
