I have just rescued 2 rabbits who were being advertised as free online. I am so heartbroken that I got to these 2 after the others have gone to god knows where.
It was a very difficult situation. The woman didn't have great English and she had no idea about the rabbits, relying on her 6 year old daughter to tell me how old they are. The daughter held the rabbits on their and threw them in the carrier upside down. They were being kept in a small plastic under bed storage container with the lid on. I am heartbroken. The woman wouldn't let me take the mum and dad rabbit because they are her daughter's. I asked the daughter if I could take the mum and dad and I would send lots of pictures but she said "no I want them to have more babies and then when that is finished I can get a turtle".
They said they are 5 weeks but that cannot be right as the male's testicles have descended. The male seems healthy but the female is very very skinny and has hair loss. I am very worried about her. I am taking them both to the vet tomorrow.
I am heartbroken at this entire situation and wish I could do more!
