A Dreadful Day MORE PICS ADDED

Wise Old Thumper
What a day for poor buns :(
I went to a house whose owner had rung me a few days ago asking me to take 22 rabbits :shock: He got 2 boys from PAh and guess what? they had babies!! :evil: ..and then more babies.....and then more..then he rang me.....
I got there and could not belive me eyes..his lounge stank of rabbit urine..he had a double decker hutch in it with 2 does in the top bit with a litter of 6 two week old kits..(there had been 9 but 3 died) and 5 more in the bottom ..
he had put wire round the legs of the hutch..about 9 inches high and 2 bucks were living in there.....2 more bucks were in a small cardboard box with some plastic on the top....2 more bucks were in a bread tray with plastic on top and one buck was in an old sideboard..he was the lucky one as had some space..
the carpet was soaked with urine and there was droppings and old sawdust all over the place...
The bucks all have injuries to their ears where they have been fighting and all the bunnies were sticky as soaked with urine..some have eye infections.. :cry:
I had agreed to take only 6 as I am full...I have come home with 6... but am going back on Sunday to pick up ALL the others..as yet I don't know where I'll put them but I'll work something out..

this little chap is 9 months old and is matted and stinks and has sticky eyes..he seems the gentlest of all of them but is also thin so maybe just no energy. the pics do not shoe you the lumps of stinking matts under his eyes and chin and all round his genitals :( Edited to add this boy is now named Drew

this is his Dad, now named Dudley, about 1 year old..he has a runny eye...his chin is weet and matted underneath and his mouth has been bleeding where he has been trying to get out of the carboard box..you can see his tatty ears where another buck has been attacking him when they were all let out together!

I have 2 other single males..they were together but due to their obvious injuries I have seperated them..pics tomorrow...
a couple of other things have happened today to add to this but can't discuss on here...just feel like :censored:
Will get all this extended family fit and well and then will be looking for a lot of very patient homes for them...none of them have had any handling apart from being grabbed by their scruffs :cry: :censored: :censored:
 
Oh that is just awful...poor things and poor you! :cry: :evil: :cry: :evil: :cry:
Im sorry youve had such an awful day, i wish I could help more.

Would other rescues be able to help do you think?

I think like me they are all full :(
 
Oh my goodness :( .... Poor bunnies.. What on earth was this bloke thinking of ?
Thank god you have been able to take some at least they'll be looked after..
Wish I lived near to you I would foster one..
 
OMG! His house sounded like hell...I dont know how you do it, I would have killed him! At least the buns are safe now, sorry I cant offer any assistance but hope you get sorted out all ok. Your wonderful {hugs}}
 
Oh Jill how sad :(
Whatever will you do when you bring all the others home?
Wish I could offer to foster for you but don't have an outside hutch (am looking into it though)

Sue.

thanks..don't feel very wonderful at present..
his house was awful the whole place must have stunk of wee..only a 2 up and 2 down and their lounge was full of bunnies..so the people must stay in the kitchen....with pegs on their noses....
 
That's awful, so sorry you had a horrid day and those poor poor bunnies :( :( :( I too wish I was closer to help, fingers crossed you get all the others out too. Doesn't it make you wonder how many more rabbits are out there suffering like these, heartbreaking :cry:
 
:shock: OMG :shock:

I just can not understand how people let it happen. I can understand one accidental litter as a result of mis-sexed rabbits - to a point. But why do they not ask for help at this stage. Why does it have to be 22 neglected bunnies before the phone call is made? It is just so sad :cry:

Well Done Jill. I don't know how you do it - but I am so glad that you do.
 
How terrible :(

Glad you have managed to get some out and will be getting the others too.

Hope you manage to find somewhere for them all... and that some of your bunnies are finding new homes soon x
 
poor bunnies :shock: :cry:

I cant believe some people :evil:

Sorry you have had such a bad day :(

You have rescued some buns from a terrible situation and I dont think I would have been able to handle it like you did :oops:

Im glad the buns will be safe with you now

That's what I can't understand too. :? :shock: It is incomprehendable.

Well done for getting those buns out. I really should'nt be saying this but...."seen as we have had to put Frankie indoors to socialise him I do have one spare hutch at the moment if you get desperate"..... :shock:

Pm me if you need to.

X :D
 
thanks to everyone for all their kind offers..will be thinking about where they will all fit and may well be taking some of you up on your suggestions xx
 
Good luck to you and all your buns; so sorry we cant take any at the moment as no room (or time)!! please let us know how you get on. Hugs xx
 
omg how dreadful those poor buns! how can people do that! well done tho jill for rescuing them.
id love to offer to foster and help you because i have time and space at home here but no hutch :(
