Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
there have been so many sad threads about abandoned and neglected bunnies recently, I thought it would be nice to be able to post something positive
Yesterday when paying our rather hefty vet bill we got chatting to the head vet nurse. She told us that at their surgery things are really improving for rabbits. the majority of rabbit owners they have on their books really look after their rabbits, are happy to get them all the treatment they need and are more than willing to pay the costs Of course there are plenty of people who don't even seek veterinary help, but its good to know that things have changed in recent years for those who do as it was not long ago they were commenting on how people weren't willing to pay for treatment for them and they were classed as disposable pets.
She also said the majority of rabbits are now no longer children's pets but far more likely to belong to adult couples, many being house rabbits as people prefer them to cats and dogs
Its not much but it certainly is a positive step forward
