Alex departure date

Just a quick headsup for bunny lovers out there. Given finding someone to feed the bunny over the Easter Long Weekend is tricky and might cause disruption for Alex we've decided given the lack of homes for a bunny in our social circle we shall give our much loved pet to the RSPCA on Wednesday.

The time has to come sometime and I'd like to hold out for as long as possible. But as .[info]wibble  has pointed out we have to bite the bullet sometime. I don't think holding out will increase our chances of homing her and the RSPCA are good people. We may even donate our cages and feed to them unless someone wants them.

So last drinks, last shout out for a home for Alex, a lovely grey bunny, 2 years old. Today I have discovered just how much she loves to eat lemon peel!!! So extremely cute seeing a bunny chow down on a whole lemon at speed. I'd picked a washingbasket full of lemons and one dropped on the floor. I didn't expect her to chase it around on the floor with her nose - the lemon kept moving away from her teeth so I picked it up so she could find a good angle to munch on it

Soooo cute. Sooooo sad. I want to say just a little longer, but easter is probably a good time to look for a home for a bunny.

Rather than the RSPCA
You can *seriously* put him on Freecycle.

You'll get a barrage of families with small children who'd love the opportunity.

Give it a thought??

When we've tried to give bunnies away for free before it has been well nigh impossible with a normal size adult bunny. We'll think about it, but pet minding this Easter is looking kinda tricky so we're running out of options and energy.

DJ Robot was recently rabbit bereaved. Maybe he'd be interested?

Don't give him to the RSPCA they are not good people. In the UK 50% of all animals that go to them are killed. Australia has huge amounts of animals killed by the RSPCA.

See these sites before letting any animal go there:

I was chatting to a vet who works to the RSPCA who said one of the reasons she loves working there is there isn't the gratuitous killing she had to do while in private practice.

They're either pathological liars (including one person I got to know for several days and is an aspiring SF writer) or it isn't the case in Canberra at least.

Those websites seem very shouty and seem more focused on the RSPCA investigating and taking animals suspected of experiencing neglect. They do not make a compelling case. Who are you btw?
