Please, please don't judge me for this. It's such a hard and horrible decision and one which we haven't taken lightly.
We need to rehome 4 of our bunnies Their brick shed is falling apart and in March, we were supposed to be doing the aviary and adding two hutches. 4/7 of the buns are also due their vacc's and the same buns were due to be spayed at the end of Feb.
Having spoken to our solicitor this morning, family, the bank and uni we know now that we are financially scuppered. We're going to struggle - a lot. The £780 bursary from uni was meant to cover vacc's and the spays we had booked for the end of Feb and then we had £500 set aside for the building of the aviary and hutches. All of this needs to now go to legal fees. Our estimation for court costs/solicitor costs for the first hearing alone tops £1,000.
If any rescues could help, I would greatly appreciate it. My poor babies are just not going to get the quality of life they need or deserve now. Bramble, Dex and Pumpkin are going to stay... Mainly because atm, we can afford them. They are vacc'd up to date and Dex and Pumpkin are nuetered.
If any rescue can help, it does need to be as soon as possible otherwise, I'm going to have un-vacc'd buns and our area is high risk.
The rescue/s who can help, I can make a promise to, that when this is all over, I will donate EVERY penny that has been spent on vacc's, neuters and food on my poor girls. That is my promise, it is the least I can do for my girls.
I feel really rotten about this and it is breaking my heart so please, please don't judge me
Sammy, our dog is also having to go to my OH's mums till this is all over. She has offered to take her and pay for her until we are financially stable again.
One of our friends is also going to take the Leopard Geckos on a sort of fostering basis too as she owns and breeds reptiles anyway so has spare vivs/food anyway.
This whole situation is just heartbreaking. Not only is it messing up my personal life, it's affecting my academic life and the one thing (except for Phoebe) that keeps me going - my animals
