Hello
I have got 2 cats and 2 bunnies. One bunny is wild and was hand reared and the other is from a rescue. Since hand rearing I have done alot of research on bunnies and learnt so much despite having had rabbits for years.
I am now very aware of how many bunnies are in rescue centres and am very annoyed at pet shops that sell little bunnies to people for their kids who suddenly go 'off' them so they end up in rescues too!
Because of this I made my final visit to P@H last week and will not be going back.
How can I make people aware of this and what can I do? I'd love to be a rescue myself but sadly I have no room but in the future this is want I would like to do.
In the meantime I want to do something worthwhile, me and my partner have come up with the following things can anyone help who speaks from experience?
Contact all the rescues in my area and get some of their rabbits on to the rabbit rehome website, as despite quite a few rescues in my area none seem to be on this website.
Perhaps create my own website highlighting all the animals in my area in rescue centres.
Write to local papers etc re the situation.
