I have 4 young buns that need to find their new owners. I know some people have taken buns to pet storesfor selling. Before I would do such a serious thing, I visited couple of stores that accepted bunnies. After visiting, I don't think I would ever takemy bunniesthere.
The first store already had 7 buns who looked siblings so they said they wouldn't take more bunnies until these are sold. They were in the open pen (no roof), they didn't look very happy, but not too bad. They had some hiding toys. The price was 45 dollars per bun.
Another store had a different picture. They had 3 rabbits, all in small closed compartments (is air flow all right in them?). Two were together and looked like siblings while another rabbit looked very depressed and (morally) abused. The price was 50 bucks for each (to me, the prices are very HIGH!!!). I asked what happens if a rabbitisnot selling for a long time. The guy said that the unhappy lonely rabbit has only been there for 2 months. He said that after a long time they reduce prices but not much. There is nothing in his pen - just empty food bowl and some bedding (plus a bitof hay and water, nobody knows how fresh). Iwas almost crying and asked associateto give him food. Not sure if they did.I asked if my bunnies wouldn't sell for some time, would I be able to get them back? no, he said.
What for do Ipost this? To speak out. Why are the prices that crazy high? I understand that they spend money for the maintenance but 50 dollars??? Buns would go much faster if were priced reasonably.All the stores care about is the profit.
What can be done for abused rabbit who has been their for 2 months, except buying him? I already have too many rabbits on my own.
