I don’t know what advantages I get but I think I get some advantages on preloved for paying £5 which I did to message the lady I got Mitzi from. I’ll have to check but I’ll look into gumtree as well, I think from what I’ve seen rabbits are harder to rehome just because so many people are like myself where you get one without fully understanding the full spectrum of their needs.

When I was looking for Mitzi you see a lot of breeders with no qualifications to do so, but there’s not such a great number of hamsters just where someone’s got bored of theirs compared to rabbits. Hamsters go in a reasonable sized cage and can keep to theirselves so even if people get bored they’re pretty simple in terms of care. Rabbits will chew your furniture, stomp their feet, ours send the ceramic feeding bowl flying. They demand attention and there’s loads to do.

You’ve got to get all their vaccines, neuter them, clean constantly, they want a lot more attention, cut their claws cut every other day. Again pet shops don’t explain the half of it when you get them. I bought ours with a litter tray and water bottle to only find out you’re meant to use a cat litter tray as the rabbits ones are too small and never use a drinking bottle for a rabbit.

I read your thread on Ozzy the other day (I think you said he wasn’t well I hope he’s better now!) but again a pet shop giving incorrect information. If you hadn’t of been there it would be another person having issues with a pet they weren’t given correct information for. How can they expect people to make informed decisions on their welfare of an animal with incorrect information?!

I just wonder how much interest she’ll get because adoption centres are overflowing with rabbits and online people sell ones like lionheads which people see as cute small and fluffy.
