Wise Old Thumper
I have thought long and hard about this as some of you will know.
I have made the decision that Leo will need to be rehomed. The side of the house where we were going to put him gets very little daylight really, so the poor thing would be alone for the majority of the day in dark conditions.
I have gone through every option but with my job and other animals, I simply don't have time to have a solo rabbit who will need a lot of one on one care. It feels unfair to leave him outside alone but there is no way he can come inside (not my house, live with parents).
I love this little man so much but it seems unfair to try and bond him again and in all honesty I'm not sure if I can trust him with another rabbit anyway.
I have spoke to rescues near me and no-one will take the little man on and in some cases they have been very rude when I have explained the situation. I am honestly not dumping him on anyone or taking the easy option, I am trying to do what is best by my animals. One rescue in particularly who have been very lovely when I have been giving donations and offering help where extremely horrible and left me in tears. I can assure you no-one needs to guilt trip me, I am already feeling horrendous about the situation.
I know it must be annoying and frustrating for them but one minute they have spaces, the next they don't and are having a full on go at me. I was willing to give a donation as well as food, his toys, litter trays, water bottles etc. I am trying to give him the best life possible, the things that I can't currently give him. Obviously there isn't any rush for him to go as such, as I don't want to part with him but I have resulted put up advertisements for him everywhere now ... including gum tree and preloved (don't flame me, I would do a full home check and would not allow him to go if I wasn't 100% happy).
I'm sat here in tears feeling guilty, upset, hurt and every other emotion under the sun.
