I know this should be a no-brainer, but please just let me explain the situation so you understand a little better
Some of you will know that I lost Peanut Butter very suddenly about 2 weeks ago. I'm still finding it very difficult to deal with the fact that I lost him and Benji so close together, but I recognise that Cupcake is most definitely pining. When she's in her hutch, she just sits there. When she has free range, she just sits there. The only time she is animated is when I feed her.
So here is my dilemma. Mum and Dad say I am only allowed to get a new friend for Cupcake if I can find one in Basingstoke (where I live). This leaves me with two options: the most well known breeder in the area, or the only rescue in the area. The rescue has a bit of a bad reputation: the hutches are small and apparently not well kept, and as far as I know they do not neuter or vaccinate rabbits before rehoming them (Though they do recommend it on their site). In addition, I've contacted them on many occasions (via many means!) and I've never received a reply :?
I have visited the breeder before, the hutches aren't really big enough but the rabbits are clean and healthy, the lady has strict rehoming policies and I'd be getting a baby who's background I would know, not some poor petshop bunny with a multitude of problems like Peanut was. Either way I'll still be in the same position in regards to neutering and vaccinating.
Please help, what would you do?:?
