poor thing, there is ALWAYS another option🥺
This evening, we got a call from a customer who, driving home, had spotted an abandoned hutch at the side of the road in Wombwell Woods. Curiosity made them pull up and check and, to their horror, there was a little white rabbit inside! The bottom door was left open so there’s no way to know if there was originally another rabbit too. There was a small amount of food in the hutch but, no hay, no water, no bedding. The hutch was turned with its back to the road. Most drivers wouldn’t have even noticed the hutch and, those that did would not have known it was a hutch from the back. We met the customer in the woods with a box and brought the rabbit back to the shop. Although she seemed healthy enough, it was just 2 degrees celcius with no protection from the wind. We were cold and the rabbit was freezing! This rabbit was left to die!! So many other options were available to the owner of this rabbit.
If you no longer want or, are no longer able to care for your pet, re-home responsibly! It breaks my heart that this lovely little animal was left to the elements with no care at all for its welfare.
Within an hour of being in our shop, we had arranged temporary foster for the rabbit; full veterinary check up and, a permanent home for her future. Needless to say, you are THE BEST customer base!!
Good people exist. Our customers are good people who love their animals and quite often put the pet’s priorities above their own!
To the people who needlessly abandoned this rabbit to die; you should be ashamed! I hope your boiler breaks and you spend the night as cold as that poor rabbit would have been!! Be better!!
