Hi! and Happy Easter to everyone ;D
Most people think that this is the time of year that we re-home many of our bunnies....However nothing could be further from the truth! In the past week alone, we have been asked to take in nearly 40 rabbits. We generally find that the school break results in parents telling their children...'If your not going to look after that rabbit, then we will get rid of it!'
However, there is the occassional offer of homes at this time....I want to take this opportunity to share a text message I recieved on my phone last night.....I quote it exactly!
'Hi I am txtin about rabbits and guinea pigs i wud want 5 of each if you have and i need all girls and wondered if ud deliver them to turriff tnite if possible cud U give me a phone on this number t let me know wat u have thanx'
I actually phoned the person concerned because I thought perhaps that one of my friends had got a new phone and was texting for a laugh!.....Sadly this was not the case!
Needless to say, NO Rabbiits or Guinea Pigs have been rehomed to this person and some harsh words were exchanged!
He wanted a rabbit and guinea pig for each of his kids and coould not see the problem!
I am tempted to publish his number here on the forum!

Hi guys,
Happy easter.
How sad that so many people want to rehome their bunnies (and other animals too).
It seems that many people consider their pets disposable instead of being part of the family. I realise there are situations where some people have no choice but too many people obviously don't put enough thought in before getting a pet (or 5!!!!!!).
Hopefully your caller might actually sit down and think about what you said to them and I can't help but wonder how long it would have been before they were asking you to take all the animals back.

or 10 Allycatz, the caller wanted 5 rabbits and 5 guinea pigs, one of each for each of the children!
