Yea I can't see how this wouldn't happen tbh?Some Rescues are reporting a drop in enquiries about Lops for rehoming I realise this might not have been the intention of the latest RWAF Campaing, but it is inevitable that if people are told that Lops are going to have health problems then people are going to be reluctant to take them on as Pets. These Rabbits are already here
Let's say you want a pair of rabbits for your kids, you know you're taking on pets, but most people don't anticipate spending 100s on vet treatment (wrong probably, but it's how it seems to go) you aren't gunna pick two lops after being told they are more prone to health issues.. I was reluctant to get a nethie because of the likelihood of dental issues if I'm honest, even though I know what I was signing up for and am prepared for it. I know some people would still adopt them (I mean I'm an example of someone who did) but most casual rabbit owners wouldn't ima guess? I mean who wants to deal with health issues? [emoji38]
