serious bad bunny behaviour

[AlisonA]

I'm horrified that a rescue centre was keeping unneutered rabbits together in this way! Apart from the obvious issue of litters, I think it's pretty unkind to get rabbits used to being social and then separating them off and letting them be adopted as single buns.

Are you in the UK and if so, whereabouts? If so, I would report them to the RSPCA and see if there is anything they can do.

I don't know an awful lot about babies - only that mum builds a nest using her fur pretty much the day before she has them, and they tend to have them overnight and mum only feeds the kits for a few minutes each day so don't fret if it seems that she is ignoring them - that's perfectly normal. If you see mum struggling to give birth, or it's happening really slowly, or there is a lot of blood, I would ring your vet for advice. Maybe someone here is near enough to be able to help you with rehoming if necessary once she has had her litter (or maybe if there's a small litter, they may all be able to be neutered and kept together). Good luck, I do hope everything works out well for you xxx

To be honest I don't think there's any point in getting their vaccinations done tomorrow if they are being spayed this week, you may as well burn the money because it takes the buns a fortnight to develop immunity to myxo - their body will be too busy recovering from the operation to develop immunity. By the sound of it, they need to be spayed ASAP due to the risk of pregnancy etc, so maybe have them spayed this week as planned and then get their vaccines done once they have had their final wound check and the vet is happy that everything is healing ok.

I would also suggest following up your phone call to the RSPCA in writing and ask to be informed when the investigation is complete - if you ring the RSPCA helpline they should give you the address of the local inspector, and you can copy the Head Office in as well.

All the best - you sound as if you're going to be very busy with this little lot, I bet all the animals you have rescued from a rescue are very grateful!

Im horrified by the rescue and there approach to resue!! What kind of rescue are they? Mind you looking at there website it states un nuetered and no jabs

I think reporting the rescue may be a good idea.

Im sorry to hear all this. Im not experienced in the slightest with rabbits having babies but i hope someone local to you can offer help and support.
