I think Teddy and Baby need a new home.

Sounds perfect, I know that must be so hard though. (((HUGS)))

Such a hard decision to make Alicia and if I'm totally honest, one that I have considered myself for my two bunnies. Circumstances have changed for me since I originally got them (got married, new job extra responsibilities etc) and I also feel that I don't get to spend as much time with them. Plus, in order to give them a run out in the garden (they are outside rabbits), I have to take them either round to my parents or to my parents in law as our garden is too overgrown. This is something we are working on but it is having the time, money and weather to be able to do it..unfortunately it is not a small job. Also the two bunnies are no longer together, they used to live in the same large enclosure but unfortunately started to fight etc so on advice from the vet, we had to separate them before one of them got seriously injured - this of course makes putting them out in the large run difficult, as we can only have one of them in it at a time and although I get on with my parents in law, I certainly don't want to have to spend all weekend round their house!! Plus I feel it's unfair that they only get to have a run round at the weekend as I'm working all week and certainly do not have time to run them round to someone else's garden, who then in turn feels that they can't got out as the bunnies need supervising.

It's such a hard decision to make. For the interest in the rabbits I feel they should go to new homes where people can love and care for them and provide them with the attention they deserve, rather than a very quick hello in the morning and evening which is just about long enough to feed them and give them a quick cuddle. However, although i'm 26, married and own a house etc, my parents will still look down on my decision. They are very much, "if you get a pet, you look after it always until it leaves you" which to some extent I am too....but when it inhibbits the animals life, surely you have to make a sacrifice?

Sorry Alicia, I didn't mean to go on....but any views from anyone would be gratefully received.

I think you made a brave and wise choice. You did what was best for the bunns. Luckly animals can be at times given to others to care for.

Not so easy with humans. I wish more people thought about having a baby before they went ahead and did it. Life changes, especially when you are young and on the move.

Alicia, sometimes we have to put our own wants aside for the welfare of the animal, and that's EXACTLY what you did. I think this was the most unselfish decision, and the best one for the situation. I am glad they got a good, new home.

I'm glad they got a good home near you.
