We at Scunthorpe Rabbit Rescue are inundated with bunnies. The Rescue can hold about 12 singles or pairs, but we have 23 at the moment, including a doe and 3 babies, three pairs and 5 or 6 babies that were hand reared. The lady who runs the rescue gets phone calls every day from people wanting to give up their rabbits - 'kids have lost interest, I've no time to look after it, child is allergic' - all the usual excuses. The RSPCA don't take rabbits here, so she gets all the abandoned and neglected bunnies from about a 30 mile radius, some of them in the most horrendous condition.
Finding homes for them all seems a thankless task. They are all neutered and vaccinated for myxo/VHD1 and VHD2, and microchipped. We find we have a lot of single males though, and rehomers are usually looking for a doe to bond with their bunnies.
