So upset with neighbours

Fellie

Warren Veteran
Last year one of our neighbours pitched up at our front door with Joey - saying they couldn't keep him because their little boy would keep letting alone out of it's hutch and the dog (Doberman) wouldn't leave him alone and they couldn't cope. Granted - Joey is a hyperactive little lad, and definitely not a bun for beginners.

I did say to the woman - rabbits are not ideal pets for children and certainly not ideal to have around a dog intent on eating it. She agreed - said 'never again' and that's the last I saw of her.

I just happened to look out our back bedroom window last night - and what did I see. Only a rabbit run in their garden:evil::evil::evil:! One of those wooden/wire 4 foot by 4 foot ones sold at P@H.

I am so upset. I didn't see a rabbit inside it - I hope not - it was awful weather. Joey was kept indoors whilst living there anyway. But either way - unless their little boy has miraculously learnt not to open hutches and their dog has learnt not to chase rabbits - I can just see the same thing happening....stupid stupid people!!!! :evil:

Oh God .... :shock:
 
It is annoying, but keep an eye on the little bun that ends up there and hopefully you can offer some friendly advice! I know how you feel as the neighbours at the back of our house have two rabbits that they put in one of those 4x4 PAH runs - definitely not enough space.
 
They may have gone guinea pig instead of rabbit if you haven't seen a bun in the run yet. Still the same issue applies!!! So frustrating.
 
Oh dear, people have such short memories don't they. I've known of people like this (as I expect most people have!).

We've got padlocks on our hutch / run, so my three year old can't just let them out x
 
Is there a possibility they might be looking after it for a friend while they're away? Hopefully that's the case anyway!
 
I spoke with another of my neighbours this morning - she is a right old gossip (well young gossip :lol:)...I've asked her to find out what the story is. She talks to everyone and everything so she's got her sleuthing hat on for me:D
