WANTED: Older Doe

She usually takes in a lot of older buns, and we know these are ex breeding stock because they are BRC rung. People like to dump rabbits as they get older, and she is the kind of breeder that looks after the buns whatever the age. :)

Thats a good point i will ask her that, dont think she has a name - she has a farm in Staffordshire, she keeps her rabbits in like this massive metal shed thing, most people seem to dump the rabbits outside her shed so when she comes to start haying and watering in the morning she finds rabbits in boxes just dumped. so sad :(
 
Sorry you said she takes in rabbits when other rescues are full so I got the impression she was known as a rescue:?

And going back to Jane's question..what age would the lady consider as an older doe Jane?
 
She like helps out other rescues kinda like fostering i suppose, because she has the room. Shes not like a full on registered rescue. Hope that makes sense im confusing myself now :lol:

My friend said most of her oldies are 6 onwards :love:
 
Jane I know Pootle the 6 year old nethie is still looking for a home :) She is being foster for Tree by CarmenCole, I know she has been looking a long time. She has a few health issues but nothing major :love:
 
Jane, re-post a new thread at the Rabbit In Need section, also are you near DoorKeeper's area, as they have a lot of buns needs to be rehome, about 125 buns.

PM Doorkeeper and perhaps some1 can do a bunny run?

Really? I took on my doe when she was 6.5 coz no one wanted her as she was "too old" with a couple of minor health issues, nothing that a decent diet and lots of space to run around in couldn't solve though. It's weird because at the shelter I help out at when you tell people a bun is 2 years plus and normally no more than 4 they ask if there's anything younger.
 
Thought I'd better update. Thanks to Liz highlighting Pootle on this thread, I have adopted her for my old buck Winston. Carmen very kindly brought her up to Nottingham on Tuesday so we could introduce them, and they hit it off straight away :D
