Wise Old Thumper
2-3 years ago my neighbour asked for help with her bunny, there was blood all over the hutch, she said it was from where the bunny was in season, I explained that bunnies don't have periods and told her it was uterine cancer and got her to a vet for her, the next day her bunny died.
The next thing, she went to the local pet shop and bought 2 bunnies, yep you guessed it, 4 months later she was knocking on my door again because there were babies everywhere, many of them died because the Mum was exhausted but the 4 from the first litter survived
I confiscated the Dad from her, that was Bailey, he had his teeth growing up his nose, I had him neutered and his incisors removed, he is still with me and doing great, I got all he other bunnies neutered and told her repeatedly about hay, pellets, fresh water and vegetables, I even showed her how to trim their nails, I gave her some bags of Science Selective and Junior and Dwarf for the babies
Oh Lord, last Tuesday she knocked on my door cuddling one of the bunnies and said "I don't know what's the matter with her but she has cut herself all underneath" as she stood there the maggots were dropping out of the rabbits bottom, I told her that her bunny had flystrike and she needed to get it to a vet NOW
I made her get in her car and she drove off to the vets
I went round to her back garden to check the other 4 bunnies and they are OK but his is what I found when the bunny with flystrike was living
There was not one piece of hay in any of the hutches, not one, there are a few strands of straw left and bowls of **** mix
The hutches are 3 foot x 2 story hutches, the bunnies don't get out of them
The bunny with flystrike was PTS'd
I am just so upset and angry, it would appear that no matter how many times you tell someone they just don't listen
