....I'd been in there 2 minutes before I heard two staff having a discussion about whether they could 'sell the rabbit on that basis'...turns out a woman and her 3-4 year old child wanted to buy a rabbit and I'm guessing they had asked about hutch/cage accommodation for said rabbit and were unsure about whether they could home the rabbit to her on the basis of what she said...sounds promising....(not!) well they decided they had no basis to refuse her so they were allowed to pick one out...that was carried off in a cardboard carry case...and in the woman's basket was a VERY small number of items including a small bag of shavings...didn't notice any hay. It totally seemed to me that this was the definition of an impulse purchase...poor bunny...it's going to be poked and prodded for a week and then forgotten about
I have to say that on the signs for the chinchilla and the degu's it does state they are not suitable children's pets...I just don't know why it isn't made clearer to people that rabbits are not either. To be frank I do not think any animal should be sold as a children's pet, unless the parents are very clear that it is their responsibility to look after the animal not the child.
