January's Intake... also meet Hamish
Posted: 01 Feb 2017 19:06
January has been absolutely crazy here at Walsall RSPCA. We have taken in 42 rabbits, yep... 42!
Three arrived heavily pregnant and we have three nests of babies. All three mummy bunnies are doing well at present. We always keep babies with us until they are neutered, so they end up being here a while.
We had 12 rabbits arrive Monday. In all honesty when I took the call my heart sank. I didn't think anything could possibly get any worse. I knew we were struggling for space, but equally knew there was no way those rabbits could stay where they were. They didn't even know how many rabbits they had, the number changed several times and we were told the others must've died. Never had hay, never had a proper diet. I can't say too much about where they came from (it wasn't a normal owner situation) but they are an in awful condition, with several poorly showing signs of respiratory problems
One little boy, Hamish, arrived with severely overgrown incisors, his entire coat one huge matt from living in squalor.
Here are some photos of Hamish
I have no idea what we would do without our dedicated foster carers. They are always on hand at the drop of a hat
We are absolutely full to bursting now and vet bills will be so high over the next few months. At least these rabbits are safe now though x
