Ok I am annoyed and everyone says I am over reacting but I think I am right to be really MAD
Before I got my Bunnies I planned and paid for a 3 day boot camp in Phillip Island. I was to leave Melbourne at 3pm on Friday and be back in the afternoon of Sunday. Now on Friday i got up and gave all my guys at least 2 hours out of their cage (more to Bugz as he in fact runs around where Anya does about three binkies and goes to sleep!) so that done I e-mail the list of instructions off to the guy who said he would look after my Bunnies. I had cut up all their veggies and put them in seperate containers with their names on them in the spare fridge. Had pulled out three seperate serves of hay and put them in bags with their names in them (as my hay is hard to get out of it’s bag) and off I went on Friday knowing that my guys where all going to be feed watered and given time out of the cage on Saturday and then i would be back on Sunday.
This “friend” also said he would be around to water and feed my birds (some of which he owns half of) and my fish. Now my sister lives with me but really not that happy to do litter trays or the birds which is why I asked this “friend”.
I get home on sunday to find all my fish DEAD! The birds had not been feed and where out of seed and water, Bugz was out of water, Miffy had put so much paper in her water it was useless to her, Anya and Miffy where out of hay and my sister relaizing that the “friend” was not coming aorund had given the rabbits the cut up bird veggies (should rabbits eat sprouts?). All the litter trays where horrible the whole room stunk and to top it off Bugz was throwing himself against the cage door wanting OUT as he normally gets about 5 hours out a day, more so over the weekend to to be locked away for 48 hours really annoyed him no end.
A few people have said that I can’t be mad, my friend “forgot”, granted he had an exam and then went out of the piss with his mates but HELLLO I got up at 5am EVERY morning for 2 weeks to go feed his birds while he was away, I spent time with his Corella out of her cage even though the bird HATES me and attacks me I did this for him and he can’t even come around and top up water bowls for birds he owns half of! I am really annoyed that my fish died, there where fine on Friday and on Sunday all floating! What if Anya got gut statis? What if Bugz had dehidrated? I rang the emergency vet and they said just to watch that both where eating, pooping and peeing which they all are but still REALLY NOT HAPPY! I really think I have the right to be mad but no one else understand why I am so worked up about this
