I adopted my two bunnies from RSPCA Brighton, and altho, at first, they weren't too keen on us adopting, because altho they live in a 6ft x 4 ft shed, with a further 3ft x 4ft shelf (they actually now have another 3ft x 4ft shelf too), we don't have a permanent attached run. After a lengthy discussion, and explaining that we planned on them having at least an hour every morning, and 3 hours in the evening of supervised free roam of half the garden, they agreeed to let us adopt. We did provide photos of our setup, which are now in their file for information on what you can do in what is a relatively small shed. I have to admit I was panicked abit when they were looking like turning us down, as I'd fallen in love with Rupert, and wanted him soooo bady it hurt
in the end they said 'we love your setup' and so they bonded Rupert and Tia (a single girl they had) and we picked them up 3 weeks later, after not a single bond problem.
I visited the centre alot in the run up to getting Rupert and Tia, as for me, rescue was the way I wanted to get them, and only ever seen staff that loved and cared for all the animals.
The only criticism I would have, and its probably minor in comparison to anything else - is that i'd love to go dog walking on a sunday there, but you have to leave your keys in a pot - which, when I was there picking up Rupert and Tia, was left on the counter for people to get their keys back out of - I feel I cant and wont put my car and house keys in a pot where anyone can walk in and take them :shock: See, minor isn't it.
I am on another forum, and when the subject of rescue buns came up, I was both shocked and surprised that one response was 'i'd never get an animal from rspca' - I think I was quite naieve when wanting to adopt bunnies, as I thought RSPCA was the only place I could get them from, you hear alot about dog and cat charities, but never about rabbit charities and rescues and I think its a real shame and really sad.
