As some of you are probably aware I have been struggling somewhat over the last few weeks. If I am completely honest it goes as far back as when Bobby was sick. Myself and my husband have come to a decision and believe me it wasn't an easy one. There have been a lot of tears (from me) and high emotions but we have decided we are going to rehome both Rosie and Freddie.
Just sitting here writing this is a struggle but I know in my heart of hearts that it is the right decision for my family and my rabbits. I don't want to go into the reasons too much but I have been suffering with my health and i have two auto immune conditions that I am trying to stay on top of. I have terrible back trouble that requires ongoing regular physio and I have my son to think of. I cannot cope any longer with all the stress of rabbit keeping. I have been looking after rabbits for seven years now and up until a year ago I loved every minute of it. Things have changed, my health is suffering and I have felt very over stretched for some time now.
Luckily I have already found a wonderful home for little Freddie. He is currently recuperating from his neuter but in the next few weeks he will be going to his new home in the UK. I feel blessed that an RU friend has offered to adopt him and I would love the same for Rosie. For that reason I am going to be looking for a home for my beautiful girl through RU. We are willing to travel to the UK on the ferry (on the same day we are bringing over Freddie) if we find Rosie a home through the "rabbits in need" section.
I will of course be sad to come to the end of my "rabbit journey". I have learnt so much about these beautiful animals over the last few years and they are such a huge part of mine and my families life. Not having them in my life will be a huge adjustment for sure I am in tears just typing this but as I said I have thought long and hard about this and it is not fair on Rosie and Freddie right now because I have been so stressed for such a long time that they must be picking up on it.
I do not want to rehome in the south of Ireland as good rabbit homes here are few and far between. I owe it to my beautiful buns to find them the best homes possible. It is my greatest wish for Rosie that she will also be homed with an RU'er as I would like to stick around on the forum and follow their stories. I just want them to be happy and I really feel like I have become part of the community here and don't want to lose that. I have met some of the loveliest people on here and I value you all so much.
I hope people can understand my decision and respect that the decision has been made. There is no going back now so I'm going to make it my sole mission right now to find Rosie a five star home. I would appreciate any support I can get with this situation and it would be fantastic if we could find her a home in Wales or surrounding areas to limit the travel if possible. We will be getting the ferry over to Holyhead hence why I am mentioning Wales. I would also be more than happy to rehome her in Northern Ireland if a suitable home came up. I have contacted SOAD in relation to this so hopefully there will be a thread up in rabbits in need in the next few days. Thank you so much for reading guys xx
