If I hadn't have faught to get Rascal, he could still be one that needed a home now, or living in solitary - this bun that would kill any other that you put him with

I find this very offensive.

I move heaven and earth for the rabbits here, i can guarantee, if i was not here, at least 20 of the rabbits (past and present) would have died.
I take every potential adoptee individually, have a pre adoption form to fill out, then you can come and meet the buns. I then do a homecheck, if i am happy, you can then adopt and make an appointment for bonding. Which i do myself. Adopting needs not to take forever, as long as people are not wasting my time by changing appointments, not having their setup ready when homechecking etc, i have adopted out to people around a week after their enquiry. I am currently doing 2 bonds now, a pair and a group of 5. The 5 went everywhere with me if i had to pop out as i didn't want them to be unaccompanied in the first 2 days. If a bun does not bond- i will try and rematch them with potential buns looking for partners, if after 4 bonds, they have not, then i rehome as a single bun, but only to be a house bunny. They get cleaned daily- taking 3 hours a day minimum, paperwork is constant and between 9am-8pm you can guarantee i have a pretty constant ringing phone, so i say rescues can set standards to whatever the hell they want. If i have a bad feeling, it has normally been right.

Re: Meet George

Can we stop the pet shop/rescue argument I only wanted to introduce George and its turned into a debate. I'm quite upset that a thread I've made to introduce one of my buns has caused such a big debate. It wasn't intended to cause any kind of argument so I'd like it to stop and just say hello to George as intended.

I agree! People will always have different views and opinions, it shouldn't always end up in arguements and upsetting people.


Back to the subject he is absolutely gorgeous!!

Re: Meet George

Sorry Krammie, I just didnt think it was fair that you had to have a post which basically said you shouldnt have got George because he was from a pet shop, its your choice, like everyone has a choice.

Vampiric Lust, I am not saying every rescue, I am sure you are a fair rescue and that you do a good job but I have come across and heard about a hell of a lot that make it damn difficult.
