Hi everyone,
Someone local to me is selling a large white doe. I went to view her and she's in a hutch which is only 2ft long. It's unbelievable. She has 4 kits who are being kept in a seperate hutch, but the same size. The father is just let loose in the garden because she doesn't want them to breed again! Which seems so dangerous, what if a fox took him in the night?
My heart completely goes out to the mother. She's clearly depressed and hardly has room to move. I'm almost definitely going to save her but I don't have a spare hutch. How can I put together something temporary for her which is safe? I have lots of spare slot together Bunny Business run panels.
The lady who has the rabbits seemed to be a genuinely nice person, just clearly ignorant as hell. How do I tell her, as nicely as possible, that her setup is completely unsuitable? She's planning on keeping 2 of the kits and also the father. I already told her that she needs to get him neutered. Is there like an RWAF PDF file or something that I could give her?
I shouldn't really be taking on another rabbit, but I already love her and I don't want her to go from one tiny hutch to the next. She needs to be loved.
