Yea, poor thing was just laying there panting. Granted it was warm, but still, looked like the effort of just moving a few feet was too much.

Poor girl
Being stuck in a glass prison cant be helping, she must be so hot in there.

Poor thing.

A rabbit that size needs a huge amount of exercise; not just to keep weight under control but to keep them healthy generally.

There seems to be an increasing trend to giants being advertised for re-homing simply because the original owner has gone into ownership with their eyes shut and in total ignorance (which is, in my view, inexcusable).

Giants are fabulous friends but are only for the devoted as they are hard work, particularly in the house (or rather THEIR house!) I wish this message was sent out loud and clear by pet shops. It really upsets me.

Sorry, I know you all understand. Rant over.

I've got horrid pictures in my mind of someone buying her and putting her in a hutch or something.
That poor girl.

Do you mean me? I pop in on my way past occasionally to see what they have. And it's a ok priced place to get my woodhips from.

I think she was talking about one of her own rabbits who look similar.

She does look a little overweight. If she's that unfit, that's probably not a bad size pen to start with .. dunno if she'll fit down the tunnel though :lol: Definately a house bunny sized bunny!
