Well I dont know if anyone remembers my post a few weeks back about my neighbours obtaining 2 Buns for their 18 month old daughter.........
This afternoon I was getting some hay in and neighbour comes up to me and says 'at what age can Rabbits become fertile'................:roll:
I said sometimes as early as 12 weeks of age. I then asked why, did he think his two Rabbits may be of different gender. He says 'Oh, we have THREE Rabbits but we dont know what sex they are'........:roll:
So off we go to check and this is what we have in a THREE FOOT HUTCH WITH NOT A SCRAP OF HAY IN SIGHT AND SOLID FAECES AS BEDDING.....:evil: :evil: :
1 x 5 month old Plums down Buck
1x 5 month old Doe- not able to palpate anything obvious in uterus
1x 5 month old MATTED AND POO COVERED CASHMERE Doe- Obviously VERY pregnant.... :evil: :evil:
So, neighbour says 'Oh, so how many MONTHS before babies arrive. I said make that days......................
Then he says 'Well she'll only have one or two wont she'......
I said she may have 8-10..............
He then says 'I'll lock the Buck in the top bit of the hutch then ( a 2ft square box) A BIT LATE NOW :evil: :evil:
I tried to explain the dire welfare circumstances of his daughters Rabbits and he just kept saying 'they'll be fine'.........
I then said what will you do with the babies and he said 'We can get rid of them to friends'
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
WHAT THE CAN I DO ??????????????????????
