Hello,
I don't know if you have the same passion for rabbits but I love them. It breaks my heart to see them homeless at the shelter that I volunteer at. It breaks my heart to see ads for them on the internet based buy/sell sites and when they are brought back to the pet store. It seems like there needs to be some rabbit education out there that is distributed to people before they buy a rabbit so that they know that this will be a 14 year commitment. I also see so many ads on kijiji saying searching for a male rabbit to breed my pet rabbit. This is a shame that people will continue to breed when there are so many homeless rabbits in Manitoba. Every single week we get a rabbit in at the shelter that someone has thought it wasa great idea to "set free." So when I see these ads for people looking to breed their rabbits I contact them and let them know of the over population problem. I would love to know some of the things that could go wrong when breeding rabbits or when they give birth so that I can communicate this to them. Can anyone tell me this information?
Thanks,
Shannon
