What's the worst housing you've seen?

[Nicola1]

oh and my Max being kept in a carrier although I never saw that as I met his old owner at the metro stand

It was kind of like this. And guys, please don't send that link around, I don't really think its fair on that person. :wave:

Except it was run down... and the run didn't attach to the hutch properly so there was huge gap :?

i dont think this is fair on the person! :?

''any fool should have known it was too small''

me neither, there seems to be no sense in dredging up old arguments in unrelated threads :?

Alison and I once went to someone's house and found a rabbit living in a small storage box (like the recycling ones) with a bit of mesh over the top...outside!!!

Oh yeah I remember that! There was also another one living in a hamster cage, and a mum with several 2-week old babies in a (max) 3ft hutch which hadn't been cleaned out because someone told her that you mustn't clean them out until the babies are 8 weeks old...

the worst one I've ever seen was one from a pet shop georgie_f linked to, it was a hutch that wasn't even a foot long I don't even know how a rabbit could have fit into it

Yes thats the one I was thinking of

Thats my opinion and I am entitled to it, thanks very much.

This was amongst the worst I have seen two bread trays the thinner one being used as a lid ..in it were two un neutered males who had been constantly fighting..they were part of 21 rabbits we took from one house..two more un neutered boys were in a plastic box smaller than the tray

or this which was housing used by a BYB

I am assuming this is the sort of place where my Nancy came from. Sadly gone now

And my Cutie-pie. Breaks my heart.

I hate these people. Hate them.

The worst I've ever actually seen was Eli's breeder.

Most of the rabbits were in 3ft stacked hutches that were in inch deep in filth.
Two of her "favourite" rabbits had free range of a huge ramshackle, drafty barn filled with unwashed milk buckets, rusty metal tools/spikes etc and there was dried wee all over the floor. There was no bed area for them or, from what I could see, access to water other than puddles on the floor.
Eli (a french lop) was in a 2 or 3 ft indoor cage with another frenchie who was bullying him.
she had five or six french lops in one of those 4ftsq playhouses which was in the barn so totally dark inside.
There was a doe with a litter on the concrete floor with no bed or bedding.
There was a rex buck on the bare concrete, no bedding, in a tiny metal pen held down by a gerbil cage with two gerbils in (outside, in this freezing barn).
All the water bottles were thick with algae so I couldn't actually tell if they had water.
There were no food dishes or any sign of them so the food was clearly just being chucked in on top of all the poo. There was no hay.

We only went so my mum could see a giant rabbit and I had the self restraint to leave without taking any of them, I just phoned the rspca and gave them as much info as I could.
Eli had crusty eyes, a runny nose and was clearly terrified of the other rabbit and this woman when I visited so I called my local branch of the rspca and said that they might be getting these buns in and could I adopt him when he came in. They said no so I went and bought him
I later found out the RSPCA couldn't do a thing because there was no home address, just a postcode for a field with a barn. I know it was the wrong thing to do but I'm so glad I went and saved him.

I rescued 6 rabbits from this hutch

Mum, Dad and their 4 babies

I rescued 7 rabbits living in a parrot cage

And the worst one was when I rescued 3 boys, none of them neutered, living outdoors in this

Makes me feel sick

Thank goodness they found you.

 

[Barn Yard Bunnies]

Some people should be shot. Sorry. You could be ignorant, but surely not that ignorant.

 

[Barn Yard Bunnies]

Thank god you found them Helgalash.

 

[scarlett]

This makes me feel sooooo sad, how could people be so ignorant and cruel?!!

 

[helgalush]

Thank god you found them Helgalash.

Oh no no no, it wasnt me that found them ....it was Snowy - I had just quoted her post specifically..... Snowy is a rescue/sanctuary, not me

 

[Barn Yard Bunnies]

Sorry at least they were rescued. I despair sometimes. How could anyone one keep 3 bunnies in a carrier.

Its ok its easily done, just didnt want any confusion as I wasnt involved at all.

Oh I see now. Me looking through the thread too quickly and saw those horrid pics. I hate to dwell on them as they are so depressing.

 

[Mischief and Tinker's Mum]

or this which was housing used by a BYB

I would have to say the worst housing I have seen is Jane's...
























The bunnies have been known to make her sleep on the floor, poor Jane! :lol:
