Pregnancy babies! u/d Baby update, day 10 help!!

I don't know the Rescue you got this rabbit from.... but mistakes can happen sometimes. I recently took in a group of 5 females. Not vaccinated, but the previous owner assured me they were all spayed. I vaccinated them, and rehomed one of them to a home with a newly-castrated male. I told the new owner that we were assured their new rabbit was spayed, but that we hadn't done this operation. He was still fertile after his op, but because we thought she was spayed we didnt worry too much about him mating her.
She had a litter of 5. I felt devestated. The new owner was wonderful, and didnt blame me.... All the babies have new homes, and we paid for her doe to be spayed when she had reared her bunnies. The other 4 from this same ex-owner were spayed shortly afterwards too. Why do people lie about these things?? I have since written it into the contract that if a previous owner says the rabbit is spayed, we do not offer this as a guarantee.

Are you new to rescuing? It's just that people will say anything to get you to take animals. I would recommend that in future you double check...and definitely be cautious about putting a doe with an unknown history with a recently castrated buck.

Don't beat yourself up about it, we all live and learn...the important thing is not to make the same mistake again. :wave:

Rescue said the vets assured her there were visible neuter scar marks, as he has been in horrendous conditions and needed to be shaved to get rid of all the matts. Last night my vet tipped him up and out they popped. Just dropped him off for a neuter not a happy bunny.

Just to say sorry you have had this problem with a "rescue" Louise
I hope they are sending you the money for the op

Bucks can withdraw their testicles so you don't always see them unless you wait a few minutes for the rabbit to relax
But shame on the place for not checking

Re the unspeyed does Farplace
Never take anyone's word for the rabbits vacs or neuter status
We , if told they are neutered or vacs, always ask for vacs cert..and the name of vet who did the op..then we ring vet and check..most times the animals haven't been done

Nope! no financial help, rescue closed its doors a few days after I brought this up with them, so my purse is rather light at the minute On the plus side Arthur has recovered from his op.
