  • Hi!
    Disclosure: I work for LoveHoney, the company that's running the recycling scheme.

    Thank you for your comments - we're glad it's inspired some fun thoughts and some action! Rabbit Amnesty has already proved really popular - it's a genuine way to get a good deal and do some recycling.

    Handling the returns is OK as long as people remember to clean the rabbits before they're sent back - just as you'd clean it before you put it back in your bedside cabinet (I hope!).

    The phthalates issue is one that we've addressed on LoveHoney - you can read more about it here:

    Yes, people should be concerned about what they put in their bodies - just as they should be concerned about what they eat - but some of the articles about phthalates in rabbits have been rather lurid and overblown.

    For those who want to examine the science, rather than the scares, this is a really good read:

    And here you can see what happens when a rabbit is sent to a lab for testing:

    Hope it's all of interest - and thank you again for having fun with Rabbit Amnesty!

    All the best,
    Richard
