Near to me there is a pet shop called "Doggies and Moggies". I went in there to buy a harness for my dog and while in there noticed they had several rabbits. I asked the lady who worked there how old they were and she said 6 weeks!!! I don't know if i'm over reacting but it really shocked me. I know some breeders wean the babies at six weeks but I have never seen them being sold this young before. I said to her that I thought baby rabbits were not supposed to be wenaed until they were eight weeks old, and she replied by saying that they do not take any rabbits over the age of 7 weeks because they are usually there for three weeks before being sold so if they took an eight week old baby then it would be 11 weeks by the time they sell it..... I really don't see her point.
A while back I rescued several rabbits that were going to be let out to take their chances in the wild (I made a post about it.) Several of the does had babies and i didn't seperate them fromt heir mother's until they were 8 weeks old, and I didn't ;et them go to their new homes until they were 10 weeks old.
Is there anyway I can report her? I am in the uk. I wonder if the RSPCA would do anything? or if I could write the shop a letter and let them know the dangers of selling babies this young. They are a chain store and have several throughout the county.
Sorry if my post is too long, and doesn't make sense. I am just angry lol.
