Had a message left on my machine last night by someone who had been given my no as a rescue. I recently contacted a rescue in a different county who only rehomed locally because of home checks. I wanted to give them the option of a home check provider in Oxford. Unfortunately, they gave this man my home number as he no longer wanted the rabbit, so there has obviously been a breakdown in communication.
I just called him to say I am not a rescue and he is going to take the bunny to the first rescue. I am, however, shocked by the conversation. He was very personable and middle class but he told me that all his children are grown up and his wife wanted something to cuddle so she bought a rabbit. Although they had rabbits in the past, this "one" doesn't like being cuddled. When I asked if it had been neutered he said he was unsure of the sex and it was three years old.
Should I be shocked? I am. An adult buys a rabbit because she wants to cuddle it, what happened to shopping :lol:
