Sounds hectic Buffy - hope you get time to breathe soon. And I hope that the animals are ok...

Can you rehome the rabbits?

Can you rehome the rabbits?

I have seriously thought about it, having them inside was ok till recently and outside wasn't really an option due to foxes and neighbour. I do love them but we both need a better set up. All the stuff with BIL and the future with Mum means I need a better solution than falling over a couple of house rabbits.

Even contacted a rescue but didn't like the woman running it

Thing is a few (quite a few years ago) I used to volunteer for rescues and followed a lot of stories/cases via a forum I was on, I didn't do much but it really brought it home to me the size of the problem. There are something like 67,000 rabbits in rescue and I just can't do it. When I take a pet on that is it, they are my responsibility. I don't believe I will have rabbits all my life, not like guinea pigs (who are about 50 times easier!) who you can more easily live with.

Last night I stayed awake thinking and thinking about what to do and what materials I have to build and I have come up with a solution that simply needs me to buy some slabs and a saw.

That will keep me busy for the next few weekends!

Hey Buffy

Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate as usual - make sure you make time for yourself too

Sorry that your BIL is back in hospital. I hope he's doing well.

I completely understand about the rabbits. I took on too many animals really (degus and chinchillas), but couldn't bare to rehome them. They take a lot of care and live in the house, so there's always mess around, no matter how many times I hoover up!! I hope you can come up with a solution that's good for all of you.

Is there anybody you know who you'd be happy to long loan/ give the rabbits to? So that they get a new home but you know it's ok? Maybe putting the word out could find a home who need well loved friendly rabbits and be a solution for both of you?

No... there isn't anyone. Plus both have tooth problems and so are expensive. Could not really land that on friend - and I would feel bad doing it to stranger via a rescue. They will be good outside.
