Hi all,

Bry's Buns went to a bird centre to get a bird and there is a three legged mini lop being kep in terrible conditions, she wants to take it as he said they will get it put down.

He/she is caked in poo and she is there now talking to the manager who said it will no doubt be put down.

Her husband wsill kill her for getting another bun but she cannot leave this poor thing. We need to know that she can take it and the can be rehomed or taken to the rescue soon.

My question is,,,,will a rescue take it in do you think????

I know she will end up keeping it but her husband is adamant of no more bunnies...???

If transport can be arranged I can take him/her.

We are going to be at Trowell Service Area - Travelodge (Nottingham Trowell) M1 on the 10th June so could meet up with someone there?

There is a transport run coming from Surrey to Trowell services on the 10th June so he/she may be able to get a ride up?

Not sure how far away you are from Surrey?

went round to see the little boy/girl three legged bun, its tiny and quite skinny. It was being fer guinea pig food!

Its so tame and a bit lop-sided due to not having a front left leg.

He was flopped out in the cage, and munching on hay which is great as they only had a bit of straw!

will be taking to see Christabel this week hopefully.

I think a three legged bun who is missing a front leg functions ok as they bear their weight on their back legs.[/i]

where is the rabbit based? I know a rescue centre that would take him/her in as they have a sanctuary as well especially for any that don't get rehomed so he would never be wwithout a home.
