    So the HA wouldn't tell me who it is they have spoken to which is fair enough, I asked them to call them just heard back they know the rabbits gone and don't care apparently.

    I have lots of pictures and there is the testimony of the rescue and possibly the vet am going to give all this to the RSPCA.


    Again,well done,you are a very caring person to have persisted with this,despite some areas of opposition.

    It was pretty obvious from the outset that the owners did not care.I reckon they dumped it in the shed for that reason,hoping someone else would take pity on it,but i bet they didn't expect it to be traced back to them.They deserve to be reported.

    Glad I'm not the only one, I hate any kind of pet being caged, it's just not a natural life for them.

    No animal or bird ,or any creature,should be trapped in a cage of any kind.At least not without some degree of freedom,the cage should only be there for sleeping in.

    Have called the rescue and told them as soon as shes fit they can rehome.
    Emailed it all over to the RSPCA now I can rest for the next couple of days.

    So following the info from the Housing Association, it's looking like the actual owners dumped the rabbit. Actually threw it out with the rubbish, so to speak, in the bin store.

    Oh heck. If I've interpreted correctly; what were they thinking? The owner shouldn't be allowed to have pets if that's what they're capable of. Now the RSPCA is aware; will they be able to do anything?

    OP, you're doing all the right things here.

    Just think, if the owner had simply given the rabbit to the RSPCA or the rabbit people the OP found and informed them they couldn't cope straight away then the rabbit would never have got fly-blown and would never have suffered that hot, cramped, lonely time in the bin store.

    I know im angry if they had responded to the first note, my neice or another neighbour who keeps rabbits would have had her or I could have got her to the rescue last week. At least shes safe now.

    That may depend on whether the TV cameras are there, I guess...

    Especially when I called them two days after finding her and they didn't give a toss because her food had been topped up.
