I know Misty and Muffin aren't getting everything they need. This is mostly due to our financial problems. When I adopted them both I planned to have them spayed/neutered and living in a 6x2ft hutch with attached run, and eventually get a shed.
We can't afford spays/neuters, and at the moment I can't find money for vaccinations either, as everyday expenses and bills are a struggle. Muffin is stuck in the 4ft 'spare' hutch which was only ever supposed to be a temporary solution, and the one run I have is pretty much useless as the garden turns into a swamp whenever it rains. I feel so guilty thinking about them. I can't see our situation improving enough to give them a better life for the foreseeable future and I really think they'd get a better life with someone else. It's something I've thought long and hard about.
I do love my bunnies and feel like a horrible person for wanting to part with them. I always thought a pet was for life and I would never rehome, but I don't think it would be fair on my buns to keep them when I'm struggling to look after them. My mum told be yesterday that I should be ashamed of myself for wanting to rehome, but I talked it over with a good friend who also owns rabbits and she agrees that I'd be better rehoming if I can't give them what they need.
I've contacted a rescue but I feel bad at the thought of putting further pressure on rescues.
