I went into a pet shop looking for pet mice as my DS's hamster died a while ago and had a cage stored collecting dust.
any way... i walk into the shop and there was a young rabbit, nervous wreck, no toys, hardly any hay, no safe house to hide in, bedding was wet and messy.
it was bought in by some one who had too many. so they slapped a price tag on 'rabbit & cage' and plonked in at the end of the shop.
i was asking general questions about her and the owners (one texting the other writing) with no eye contact, shop was empty so not busy... they had no info other than 'its about 4 months we think!' it was like they had no heart in what they do, no upbeat atitude about selling this rabbit.
I decided i wasnt going to leave the shop with out it! poor thing.
now - i know i bought some thing i know nothing about (not that shop owners knew more )
i want to bring this rabbit new life, the best care - so need your help with first hand experince as google is often unreliable!
please can you give me info on the best food, bedding, fresh foods they like and anything i need to know.
since being home summer has settled so well, hasnt even been 24hrs! she loves a cuddle, is allowed free roam (no exposed wires or danger) seems to be a little happier.
thanks in advance.
