I went to do my regular nosey around a P@H this morning. Whilst the conditions the Rabbits are kept in have vastly improved and Piggies are seperate from Bunnies I was very concerned about one Bun. Most of the babies are Rexes, bred by a girl who works in the store. I think some must be Mini Rexes as they are teeny. Well, one of the very small ones, a Black Otter Doe was just 'not right'. Very quiet, hiding away, not interacting with any of the other Buns. I stood and observed for a good 20 mins and the Bun I am concerned about did not move and just looked poorly.
So I approached a member of staff and expressed my concerns. To be fare he was a very polite young chap and handled the Bun very gently. He took her out to the store manager who apparently said the Bun is perfectly healthy. I asked if I could hold her and when I did it was obvious she had a gassy tum. But they insisted there was nothing wrong. I said again how quiet she is and how she is not behaving like a well Bunny. But I was just told that she obviously had a 'quiet personality'. So after a long cuddle I had to hand her back
OMG I so wanted to buy her but I know that I have no room as I have a Bun arriving today already.
I guess the reason I am posting this is because I feel so bad about leaving her there and can only hope that she will be OK. All the other babies looked fit and well and were having lots of fun. But this one little Black Otter looked so sad......
I guess I am my own worst enemy for going in there in the first place
