Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

This thread makes me sick in all honesty. If you are 16 and 'having a social life' atm then you need to do that and not be neglectful. There are people on here who work 2 jobs, help rescues, have children and are still able to give there pets the love and care they deserve.. You are neglectful and should not keep animals with such lack of knowledge. You are a terrible person and i will not waste any more of my time posting to someone who will not listen. Its people like you who the rescues have to clean up after! Disgusting! x

3. How does any breeder begin? because according to all of you they shouldnt.
4. one was a reformed rescue rabbit who is very happy and the other was baught from another pet shop. I checked them both and they were healthy with good bone structures and superb rabbits with no signs of any faults
5.so none have you have ever made a mistake?? |I find that extreamly hard to believe somehow
6. I know i did wrong and thats why i feel so **** about it but ive learnt from it and although I still wish to breed my rabbits next year I will make sure I am allot more protective and make allot more precautions.
7. I put them in a secure hutch with extra mesh precautions however I think it is better for them to be allowed to have some time outside otherwise how on earth will they cope when they go to new homes? plus the sun gives them vit D.
8. my bunnys have died, Ive been taking gcse's and having a social life so sorry I am not checking this every day I do have a life and some beatifull creatures to look after.
9. do you suggest I then do cruelty to my dogs by not allowing them to urinate and poo outside or excersize? It was their natural instinc to attack and i dont blame them i blame me.
10. you dont have to be so harsh its not like i killed them delibretly is it? I mean for gods sake chill! yes it sucks and it was one of my worst mistakes. but im not going around beheading bunnies for kicks so stop treating me like someone who might.

I hope this has answerd questions
yes you did let them fall down the ramp and if you are doing animal care then your wasting your time because your not learning anything are you knom your not

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

Oh my (again.) You are obviously a very silly little girl indeed. YOU bred these rabbits. They are YOUR responsibility. YOU don't have a social life when you are a breeder with babies, be it cats, rabbits, pigeons whatever.

you know what, brat, go and do some growing up. DO NOT breed from this rabbit next year until you have lear.....you know what....forget that, just DON't BREED.

Get your female spayed. Prolong her life. Surely your poxy little nvq in animal neglect would tell you that it is the right thing to do.

BAH. why do i waste net space replying to such drivel?!?!

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

I wanted to reply to OP. I bought my first rabbit after passing a pet shop with baby bunnies in a hutch outside it. I bought Pickles and someone a week later bought me another rabbit. I put them into a 4ft hutch thinking they would be ok in it as pet shop said it would be ok. It was cheaply made and not big enough. I researched nothing before getting them. It was on impulse. Not proud to admit that though.
Shortly after I got them, I found this site and I discovered just how big of a mistake I had made. My hutch was far too small, I had 2 females who then started to fight and there was no run. I listened to advice here and I got a loan as quickly as I could and bought an 8ft x 6ft shed. I had different things done to the shed to make it a wonderful home for bunnies. Last year I got a run made to attach to the shed. I made mistakes but I took advice from the folks here and I quickly made changes which caused my bunnies to have a fantastic home and life.
People here are very much animal lovers. Some comments can seem harsh and cruel - but I do believe that they are said as people here don't want any animal to come to harm or to be badly treated. OP - you have been given advice and not taken it. I was given advice and took it all in and transformed my bunnies lives because of it. Transform your bunnies lives too.
Advice to OP - please listen to the folks here ... they know what they are talking about. And please, don't breed them!!
Jacqui

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

I've just seen this thread and along with most people here agree that this is a very irresponsible thing to do and really do feel sorry for these rabbits I agree that they should be neutered asap and enjoyed as pets.

I was thinking all along though, if one of these rabbits is a rescue bun why did the rescue not neuter/spay that rabbit? I thought all rescues did this to prevent this sort of thing happening? Or at least make the owner sign a contract to say that they will neuter the rabbit when it is mature enough.

I've been away a while so I apologise if this has already been answered somwhere before.

Rescue can mean the person individually 'rescued' the animal, rather than they came from a rescue. Regardless, I still think the rabbit needs rescuing...

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

The rescue rabbit was rescued from a friend of hers that didn't want it.
She posted a thread about how she rescued the bunny and I told her in that one not to breed!
It's so annoying when you give advice but people dont listen and then disasters like this happen.

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

to the OP, i know some coments will come across as nasty but what do you expect hun. you have asked for advice and you have been given it but not just anyones advice you have been given it from those who truly now what they are doing. YOU chose to ignore this said advice to your poor bunnies expense. you said you made a huge mistake and have learnt from it.............. this is questionable as you have then said you still intend on breeding from these buns next year so yet again you are ignoring the advice you have recieved from these people.
if you truly want to breed follow the advice these peeps have given you and you wont go wrong . they were not picking or anything when saying not to breed from these animals they have good reason to say this. do you intend on selling these buns? if so wat health checks have you had done? simply saying YOU have looked at them and they have good bone s or whatever isnt good enough if you intend on breeding the buyers will need both mom n dads history and there parents history witch you evidently know anything about.
if it were me and i whanted to get into breeding i would find a breeder and learn everything from them .
we all make mistakes i have a kitten who has had kittens whitch wasnt meant to be but did i am trying to be responsible with these and have made sure my dog cant get anywhere near them and they will all be veted before they go to there new homes and mom is being spayed as soon as she is alowed , lesson leared in my case, i can honestly saye lesson learned and i am doing right by my animal can you?
