Having been looking for suitable rabbits recently to bond with Neo after Skye's passing (RIP you gorgeous girl xxx), I've spent a lot of time on rescue websites and checking Rabbit Rehome etc, etc. As I work full time it's difficult and very awkward to attempt to set up several visits to several rescues due to time restrictions many of them have - all seeming to fall under the 12-4pm timings and some not being open on Sundays :roll::lol:
What surprised me is that, even going through rescues as far away as Wales and Cornwall, there doesn't SEEM to be that many rabbits around!
I know that not all rescues can offer constant updating of images, but I can't help but feel due to the low numbers being shown on their websites that they aren't getting much exposure as being portrayed as extremely over-bred as they obviously are.
I think in my whole search of 20 pages of rescues, opening each one, there's been around 200-odd rabbits and yes, that's quite a lot, but to someone not as well educated in regard to the breeding issues, it appears to be less of a glaringly obvious problem.
I don't want this to upset anyone but just a thought I've had and had to see if anyone else has been in the same position!
Of course the caring of the rabbits does come first. And of course many people probably have the time to fit in rescue visits... just rambling to myself now! :lol:
