Need Help! Rescued a bunny!

[beccabeau]

Hi all, 

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I’m at a loss of what to try next. Basically, I rescued a baby bunny on Friday, as he was being kept in awful conditions (original post about that here) I was told he was a girl, but a visit to the vets on Monday proved that he was a boy. I’m not really able to keep him because my other bunny isn’t happy about having to share the space with him. They’re both really territorial and I don’t have the space to keep them properly away from each other. 

I need urgent suggestions, because I can’t keep him for very much longer, it’s not fair on the bunnies. I’ve tried contacting so many shelters in/ around London, but I’m not getting anywhere. I really am disheartened now! He’s such a sweet bunny and I want to make sure he gets to live in the forever home that he deserves! 

I’m in East London, E11- I have already phoned shelters as far away as Essex, and the ones closer to me either aren’t picking up the phone or responding to my messages, or are too full to take him. Even if I could find him a temporary foster home until I find someone who can take him permanently, that would be great. 

I really need some help, as I’m at a loss at what to do!

Please help!

Thanks, 

Becca

While you were at the vet’s office, did you mention that you couldn’t keep this rabbit? Sometimes a vet will know of a family who may be looking to adopt a rabbit, or the office may let you post a notice about the bunny. So if you haven’t already asked them, you could try and see if they can help.

I agree. Post flyers for him in vets offices, shelters/rescues and anywhere else animal lovers may be. Screen any potential adopters, charge a fee, and perhaps even ask if you could see where he will live. I would also recommend that you get him neutered before adopting him out. Good luck!
