I'm in wolverhampton if they need removing quickly but i only have 2 v-small empty hutches at the moment so would need to know breed and age if i'm to take them in. Could only keep them temporarily until transport could be arranged.

I know this might sound stupid but i just had this feeling they were!!!!!!!
Yvonne
16-10-2004, 10:18 PM
My hutches are definitely too small for rexes but if the breeder is passing on the hutches as well then I can provide temporary accommodation if they need moving urgently.

Do you know whether then are pairs/single? Or about the hutchs, got a contact number to find out? If its urgent then we could get someone like Yvonne to take them temporarily. Might be able to russel up some cages.

As mentioned on Tufty I can take the Rabbits from Sheffield to Nottingham.

KATHY
18-10-2004, 09:32 AM
all these rabbits are entire and are not paired 3 female and 3 males. all aged between 1 1/2 and 2.
Tamsin
18-10-2004, 09:32 AM
Nottingham is half way between Sheffield and Wolverhampton isn't it? You'd have to drive the buns through Nottingham to get them up to Sheffield, unless my navigations wonky or do you mean you'd go down to Wolverhampton and then bring them up to Nottingham?

Are u sure this breeder is giving up or just trying to create space for younger rabbits? A rex over 18mths will no longer be suitable for show purposes so they could just be trying to get them out the way so they can replace them with younger rabbits.
Provided they come with hutches i can take them in for a short while but would have to collect in several runs as i don't have a van so i couldn't get them to nottingham.
Yvonne

24-10-2004, 07:51 PM
Have these bunnies been collected yet?? I am willing to foster two if that helps, although I'm in Devon, but may be able to travel to collect them, or meet somebody with them. I can't promise anything, but a friend MAY be able to also foster one short term, but I need to ask her first! Let me know asap :D I would absolutely LOVE to take two permanently, but already have 10!
Rexy bexy
24-10-2004, 07:56 PM
hi,
r the the big rex or mini rex? i could take on some mini rex till they can be collected but if they a the big size rex i dont have the hutch sizes for them
sorry cant be more help, but i would have to talk with my mom first if i was to take on any
becky
bluebunny
24-10-2004, 08:00 PM
As far as i know there standed rexes
shantel
24-10-2004, 08:07 PM
Well I can accomodate two short term without problems - whatever their size. Let me know if I can help!
Joanne
24-10-2004, 08:17 PM
Not sure if Kathy is having them now but if she still is My dad can pick them up for hilton park services and bring them down to Nottingham just need to get someone to collect from the breeder and bring the rabbits to my dad.
KATHY
24-10-2004, 09:34 PM
update on this post
i went to collect them myself but was told by the uninvited estranged husband to go forth and multiply unless i coughed up 10 pounds each for them, i left.
i recieved an apologetic phone call later that day from the woman who told me i could fetch them and he wouldn't be there, so i told her she would have to deliver them herself as i had other rabbits coming in that needed my full attention, she said she would phone back as soon as she had arranged transport, so now we wait but at the rate bunnies and piggies are coming in i shall soon be too full to accept them.
Joanne
25-10-2004, 12:07 AM
Well that was a wasted trip for you if she can meet up with my dad he can do Tuesday or Friday this week he will still bring them down for you will save her coming all the way and you can make sure the rabbits go to good homes.
bluebunny

Kathy - did this person try to breed Dutch bunnies as well? Was her name Em?
shantel
29-10-2004, 10:54 PM
Kathy, I need you to reply urgently!!! Tania phoned after the ad in Findit, and we are pretty sure this is the same woman. She has 7 bunnies though, not 6... she hadn't counted them properly :? She has:
Joe - a black malerex
Violet - a white female rex
Bayleen(??) - a castor female rex
Sunny - a tan male
Cadbury - a black male rex
Poppy - a white female rex
Ollie - a Dutch male
They are free to good homes, not sure about hutches although they are in seperate hutches so it's possible. None of them are neutered. I know Marie would desperately like to have two, is there any possible way you would be able to go back and pick these bunnies up? I'm not convinced that the present owner is terribly concerned about where they end up, and if anybody see's an advert for Rex's that are un-neutered.... well, heaven forbid somebody else tries to breed from them. :( If difficult to take all of them I could possibly stretch to fostering one or two, but it really wouldn't be permanent! But anything to get these bunnies into safe hands.

It does sound like it, are these buns in the wolverhampton area of the west midlands? because that is where these buns were.
Joanne
29-10-2004, 11:10 PM
Does sound like them :roll:
shantel
29-10-2004, 11:18 PM
Yep, they are in Wolverhampton :shock:
KATHY
29-10-2004, 11:26 PM
hi shantel, sorry dont get on line much these days, yes that sounds like the same person, she doesnt have transport herself and i probably wouldn't have time to fetch them within the next week, joannes dad said he would collect them from birmingham we just need to find someone willing to cover wolverhampton to birmingham ( castlecroft ) , i have the room for them without the cages, and marie is definately interested in having one possibly 2.
Denny
29-10-2004, 11:30 PM
You might be better off phoning Kathy as her post above did not sound to good when she went to get them. They are free you say? If Kathy can take them untill things are sorted, I might be able to help with transport as long as I can get a navigator but I can only get them as far as derby way
bluebunny
29-10-2004, 11:33 PM
Did i hear someone mention my name and a rex bunny maybe two in the same sentence!!!!!!!

Denny if you can get them from the breeder and then bring them to hilton park services not sure where you are so could make it a different place my dad will pick them up from you and bring them down to Kathy as we live very close to her.

Joanne,
I am in Sutton Coldfield, Wolverhampton is about 1/2 an hour away from me on M6 but depends where she lives. Not sure where hilton park is, but I would travel up the A38 towards Derby (I have a friend in Stretton, Burton unpon trent so could pop in for coffee on way back)
I can not find ad in findit. would need advice as to whether this lady has any carriers though as I only have one cat carrier
bluebunny
30-10-2004, 12:30 AM
The women is in castlecroft/wolverhamton

Hi my dad work is 15 min from sutton coldfiled so could meet up with you near there he can only do in the week if you can do it let Kathy no and then if you can pass your number on to me we can arrange it if the women still has the buns
Denny
30-10-2004, 12:44 AM
I think Bluebunny is arranging new hutches as we speak :lol: :lol:
I can only do weekdays which suits me Joanne, where abouts does your dad work? ( have to be back home by 3pm though)
Does Kathy still have this womens details as I would need to know her address etc, still need advice regarding carriers. Is someone going to phone this women first to see how the land lies or will I get the same reception Kathy got off the hubby?
bluebunny
30-10-2004, 12:50 AM
Well shantels friend spoke to her tonight,i think apart from not knowing how many bunnies they were,she sounded like she justs wants rid.
Im sure when kathy sees this she will sort out phone no etc.

So if I have got this right and this lady is willing to let 7 buns go, Shantels mate will have 2, shantel can possible have 2, you will be having 2, that just leaves 1 left then?
bluebunny
30-10-2004, 08:20 AM
I think shantel was offered to foster,if kathys rescue is full,if kathy takes them i am offering a permenent home.So that will leave 5 needing permenent homes
shantel
30-10-2004, 10:56 AM
No, my friend wouldn't be able to have two - I could possibly stretch to fostering two but only as a last resort if nobody else can take them. To be honest, I am worried to foster as I will fall in love with them! :roll: And I just cannot take anymore as I have all my 10 sorted and bonded now, and I can't go through it again! Sounds promising though?? I think one of us needs to phone and arrange to collect them?
Joanne
30-10-2004, 03:43 PM
Is this the add she told me she has 5 rabbit just emailed her to see how many there where
http://www.findit.co.uk/pets/rabbits/1333985.htm
Can I just say that I find this post somewhat disturbing. You guys are running around after a breeder when he has already advertised his stock for sale in a newspaper/normal way?
Am I correct in makingthis assumption?
KATHY
30-10-2004, 05:20 PM
i agree bob, the woman in question e-mailed me to ask if i could take them, i agreed but after a turn of events i then told her to bring them to me if she desperately needed them rehoming, consequently i have heard nothing, apparently she is now advertising them on find-it.
Have you tried going back to the (breeders) rabbit community to find homes for these rabbits. seems tome to a massive waste of recources when a few phone calls orsome on-ging diplomicy would have done the trick.
It would not let me do a spellink check ROFL
Joanne
30-10-2004, 05:30 PM
I was just worried what would happen to the rabbits and marie wanted 1 or 2 we have now found someone to do the first leg and my dad will do the second if Kathy can still take them.
Joanne

That is good Kathy but, to be blunt... why are you guys running after a breeder who has decided to give up and is actually making the effort to rehome his stock?
I must be missing something here and would like to be put right!
Denny
30-10-2004, 06:16 PM
This lady originally approached Kathy to rehome her rabbits after admitting that she was finding in difficult as a learner breeder. Things did not go well on the collection side of things so Kathy left it with the breeder to deliver them to her rescue. The breeder does not have transport and although is attempting to rehome them, and if the ad is the right one, is offering them free to good homes only, must collect. My concern is, how does she know that they will be going to a good home if she is unable to check this if she does not have transport? I could have a 10 ft boa constrictor for all she knows and a bit short of cash this week. Your right Bob, as in she is attempting to find homes for them but she did originally approach Kathy, I live close to wolverhampton and Joanne's dad works down the road from me, and they live near to Kathy, so I would not call it running around after a breeder, I would call it helping 3 parties in need. 1. the breeder
2. the rabbits
3. Kathy who does not have the time to be able to go and collect them
A similar thing in the '10 french lops' section
How are your statistic's doing :?:

shantel
30-10-2004, 07:43 PM
Bob - I get the impression that you just want to cause friction here. We are all trying to do what is best for the bunnies, I don't see any waste of anything, and as far as I'm aware this person is an ex-breeder who found it was not as easy as once thought, and isn't overly concerned where they go. We are all trying to pull together here to help the rabbits - I suggest if you have nothing positive to say, then don't say anything! :shock:
Tamsin
30-10-2004, 07:45 PM
We don't know all the details of this particular situation but its an interesting question.
I think the trouble is most rescues don't have any links with the breeding community and wouldn't know the "bad" from the "good". Also once a rescue gets involved there is usually a policy of home checks, neutering/pet only homes (not that a breeder can't have pets too).
Rehoming your rabbits via a good rescue is perhaps the best way to ensure a good home. Its possible for individuals to do this themselves but many are too lazy, don't have the knowledge or have a barrier like transport.
Not knowing much about the breeding community myself... would many be interested in rabbits that quite probably have no history/pedigree and are unrung even if they do apparentely belong to a recognisable breed?
In the end, people are just trying to do whats best for the indiviuals bunnies involved.

Is the transport sorted? if i could drive i would of collected them myself!
shantel
30-10-2004, 07:59 PM
Bob, I also just wanted to add that another reason it would be a good idea to remove these rabbits from this owner, is because they are all un-neutered. Somebody could be getting a pair of Rex's here for nothing, and start breeding themselves.

30-10-2004, 08:39 PM
What peers would you suggest they contact Bob? The lady is nothing to do with the BRC, so what I believe would be termed a back yard breeder.
To iriterate my earlier post... why would other breeders be interested in taking on these rabbits? Unrung and with a 'dodgy' history they are only good for pet homes. I know breeders can have pets too but I wouldn't have thought they would be any more interested or responsible for helping than a rescue.
Edit: If it was a rare breed then I'd be more for contacting related breed groups, but rexes are common so I don't think they appreciate being asked for help everytime rescues were involved with them.

So what's the next step then where these bunnies are concerned??? Can we get them to Kathy asap? if so we need to arrange to collect them sooner rather than later. Marie would desperately love to adopt two of these bunnies, it's such a shame if they don't get this chance.

I am pretty sure denny will do the first leg and i no my dad will do the last leg its up to Kathy now if she still wants to take them or not.
Denny
30-10-2004, 10:06 PM
I have contacted kathy who is willing to take bunnies, Joanne has email the lady in question who says she now has 5 bunnies. The bit we are stuck on at this moment is:- I have to be home by 3pm, Joannes dad finishes work at 5.30, Kathy is concerned with the time barrier between exchange points which is understandable.
The lady is offering the hutches but does not state whether they are free, or how big they are. Joanne and I are trying to think of another solution. I can only think that, if she is giving the hutches away free then I could do 2 runs so that I can house them in their own hutches for the night then drop off with Joannes dad at 5.30 so this way they are not confined to a carrier for a long period of time.
I need to know if the link Joanne put up is the actual ad, I need to know how big the hutches are (to see if they would fit in my car) and whether or not they are free
Can someone give me the link to the ad?

I am not a registered user to be able to email so will have to ring, but first, should I be honest with the lady and explain that kathy is still willing to take them and that there are possibly homes already waiting for some of them, or what should I say?
Joanne
30-10-2004, 10:23 PM
I have this ladys email i have just email her to ask about the hutches and if these are the only rabbits she has.I have not told her who i am and that they will be going to kathys thought that would be for the best.I will ask my dad if he can leave work early not sure how busy he is this week so i cant promise.

Denny
30-10-2004, 10:42 PM
I think I should be honest with her, she did after all go to Kathy first, which does indicate that she would not mind them going there. Its just the transport problem and the embarrassement that is probably the reason she feels she cannot approach Kathy again. i am going to look like a right berk and very suspicious if I phone and say I'll take them all
I understand that a few are not getting responses by email but could just mean that she is out, it is saturday night
bluebunny
30-10-2004, 10:44 PM
Say what you think is right,but i think you should ring her at least hopefully then she will keep them untill they have been collected.
Joanne
30-10-2004, 10:48 PM
Like i said in the pm i would tell her that you are helping Kathy out the only reason i did not tell her who i was is i only wanted to no the numbers she has so i can sort out some carriers i did not tell her who i was i did not see the point.
Denny
30-10-2004, 10:51 PM

You are not rude at all - indeed, very polite! I do challenge things and sometimes get things wrong. Often I get them spot on even if that means I am not the flavour of the month.
Usually people only jump on things that I get wrong, not right.
Do I own rabbits? :-0
Yes I do!
They all came from a breeder whom I happen to know very well!
Do I go to other forums? Yes.
Anything else that you would like to know?
To clarify things.....
It really narks me when a breeder uses a "rescue" to get rid of his or her stock. Tams has made this clear that this is not the case but I was not aware of that till now.
I hope that this is not so in this case but believe me it has been in so many other cases. This is something that I feel very strongly about and you will not silence me on this issue!
I Will be back ;-o
Bob - I get the impression that you just want to cause friction here.

We are all trying to pull together here to help the rabbits - I suggest if you have nothing positive to say, then don't say anything! :shock:
Thank you for your comments. Talk about jumping on the band wagon! I got something wrong here. I know that because people have taken the time to explain that to me and I have listened and learned.
I just wonder whether you share those same qualities.
I still have very much to say in a very positive manner or negative manner if required. That will be dictated by me, not you.
I encourage debate not subdue it and take exception to your requests for me to stop posting.
I don't doubt that you would love to continue without critical comment - that is not going to happen!
It would not let me do a spellink check ROFL
Perhaps i am too old for this but could someone tell me what ROFL stands for, I can work out most but this has me stumped.
Bob, your in the firing line again :lol: :lol: Have you ever read the book 'men are from mars, women are from venus'? :wink: makes for interesting reading
I have got to go finish 21st birthday cake now, I will try and log in in an hour or so
I have not read the book, and yes I have dropped myself in it gain LOL
Do you really want me to go out and buy it - I will just tear it apart!(verbally)
or would I?

I don't think many rescues would take excess stock from a breeder that was continuing to breed. Thats just going to perpetuate a never ending cycle of the breeder breeding more because they know the rescue will take the spare off their hands.
I think removing the hutches from this person would be handy to prevent her getting into the same proble again as well as housing the buns.
The occations when rescues do encounter breeders and what to do is an interesting debate. Perhaps further comments could be taken to the Welfare Section though so we don't confuse the thread (further) on these particular bunnies :) It would be interesting to hear from the breeders what ways/situations they could possibly help out.
Thanks,
Tamsin

No I don't think so.... accusations and comments have been made against me and I think that they should be answere here. I want them answered and debated.

it would also be interesting to hear from "rescues" that actually talk to breeders!
Still confused!
"Breeder" is advertising "free" rabbits to good home and you guys are are mounting a campaign that would free prisoners in Cuba!!
Don't you have better things to do with your time? Like "rescuing rabbits that actually need rescuing" ?

Transport for what? A "rescued" rabbit? Or just one that you all deemed that was worthy of that label?

My partner agrees with you 100% Bob and as the thread goes on I find myself agreeing with you as well.
I didn’t realise the full circumstances of this or I wouldn't off offered transport at the start.
Surely if the lady is advertising her Rabbits free to good homes she should be allowed to get on with it?
What’s wrong with that?
At least she is making the effort to find them a home.
Are these Rabbit's in danger?
Are you taking all the Rabbit's and all her equipment?
In my opinion this women is just finding a quick way to off load, as she can’t cope any more.
There are 30-40 dogs this week in a PTS situation. Their pound dogs and have up to seven days to live. Some have already been PTS. This is a REAL rescue case.

Did I not make myself clear enough? If you want to discuss a topic related to rescue, breeders and when and how to help out start a new one in the welfare section. But only if you can discuss it in a sensible manner without making it personal.
We will not tolerate slanging matches.
As you didn't follow my polite request I am locking this topic. If those organising transport want to start a new one on transport please feel free to do so.
Regards,
Tamsin and Adele.
