So, I want to start off by saying that before I ever got my little guy zentor, I had no idea what it took for proper care of a rabbit. I was one of thoes people who'd go to the mall and look at the buns and just say "aww, how cute". Of course not knowing how sick thoes buns really were and how fragile their lifes can be.
I went to the mall yesterday with my boyfriend and we stopped off at the pet store. They have 4 buns there that are "free with purhase of cage". they are all pretty small, they looked young, but this one bun in particular looked very sick (goopy eyes, crumpled whiskers, ect.). I know he doesnt have much time and it makes me so sad to see. I don't think that stores should all together stop selling animals, but if they do they should really take the extra time to make sure that they at least have proper neutrition. These buns are fed only pellets, but the bowl isnt clean and has their bedding in it. They dont have any hay at all, no veggiesand i dont remeber seeing any water (but i may not have been paying attention to that). There was another baby bun in the cage that has very long hair, and all i was thinking about was the fact that its probally going to get a hairball and die because of it. something like that is easily prevented with hay, and they cant even supply the buns with that. ugh, i wish i had more money and space, or i wish that the pet stores can just take better care of their animals.....sorry for the rant, i just dont understand people sometimes and i wish there was something i could do.
