Hi all, before I get my head bitten off for getting rabbits from pets at home, I got 2 because I was in there buying dog food & there were 2 very noisy, badly behaved boys throwing stuff in with the rabbits & it was the only 2 rabbits left. The kids were very feisty & pushing each around aggressively & begged their mum for the rabbits.
I couldn't leave them thinking they might be subjected to a life of misery with this family so snapped them up.
Expensive trip for dog food, ended up buying a double hutch for over £100 & a run to be attached for free run in my huge shed.
They'd settled in great, but 2 weeks later, today, we had them running loose in garden when a fight broke out! It wasn't just a dominant thing, it was a full on nasty fight! They were believed to be only about 3 months old.
The smaller one attacked the bigger more placid one.
When I went to clean hutch I saw more fur so must have fought earlier too.
Not know much about rabbits I phoned pets at home & they suggested I bring then back & swap for another pair, which I've done & got 2 sisters.
Problem is, the lovely placid one I returned (they wouldn't let us return just one) is still in the shop & I'm really missing her even though it's only been a few hours. She was so docile.
I'm really worried she'll be snapped up by someone, shut in a tiny hutch at bottom of some garden & forgotten about she had a good life at mine, free run of enclosed garden & shed at night.
They thought of some kid rough handling her kills me!
I want to go back & get her but no money right now for another hutch until I get paid on Wednesday! Where would I keep her in the meantime? Would she be ok in hutch with other 2 babies (it's a big hutch & free run of shed), could I split the double hutch in 2?
Would that unsettling them smelling each other?
Help needed quickly as would want to go tonight before they close or before she's gone? Should I leave her??? Argh, so sad x
