I'm not sure I really want to know the answer to this question, but I'm going to ask it anyway....
How long do pet stores keep rabbits that are not selling?
The reason I'm asking: the pet store I'm referring to is the one I got my original 2 bunnies from-Humma and Trillian. Their story is in my blog. Anyway there were baby bunnies there that had come from a local breeder. I stopped in to see if the store had rabbits and there were some of the same rabbits there. From November! They are big now and I wonder if they have lost their appeal as they are no longer little fuzzy babies. They are also probably into puberty now so I'm sure will be exhibiting teenage issues. So I wondered how long will the pet store keep them, feed and house them before they're considered unsellable? Easter is on its way and I'm sure the store would rather have more tiny fuzzy babies to sell than these large bunnies.
Needless to say I wanted to take them all home but hubby said I would be contributing to the problem. I know he's right.
Then there's the Dutch.....
In November when I got my rabbits there was a baby Dutch for sale with the other babies. I knew it would go quick bc it was cute. And it was gone the next time I stopped by.
Well it's back in the dumping ground of the pet store. Ironically this is the same area my 2 came from. That was quick, it lasted what, 2 months at most? The pet store doesn't mind bc they get to sell it a 2nd time at $59.99 which is ten bucks more than the first time they sold it. And it comes with all the accessories like the cage. They should just stop selling the babies and be available to sell the dumped off bunnies...stop the cycle
