I posted an ad to sell the bunnies i found abandoned because that was my intention, to get them healthy and re home them. I refuse to just give them away because free pets rarely get good homes.
This is my first email from people interested: "what will u take for all the rabbits i want them for pets to let loose in my yard i live in the country"
My reply that i just emailed back to them "Not selling to you. First it is illegal to set domesticated animals loose. Second they will be killed by stray dogs, coyotes, hawks, cats, raccoons, cars, disease, and starvation. Contrary to what people think, they cannot live off of what grows in the yard. They need good quality pellets and lots of timothy hay to eat. In fact if fed too much wet foods they can develop diarrhea which can be deadly if not treated. They also will not survive winter without a proper hutch or building that shelters them from the elements."
Ill let yall know their reply if they reply. The nerve of some people.
This is there reply "thats pretty sad u tell a 8 yearold girl u wouldnt sell her rabbits'''' she put let loose in the yard'''' as a term its a 7ftby7ft rabbit pen with built in rabbit boxes buy the way it;s not illegal to let them loose on ur property long as u do not introudce them to the wild thats fine never mind we dont need ur rabbits just please use better judgement when responeing back on a add thank u "
Do i feel bad? NOPE. My hopefully last reply to them "It is not sad, i care for the rabbits and refuse to let them go to bad homes. Unfixed rabbits fight, They cannot live in one huge pen in harmony. There will be blood shed. Also what is an 8 yr old doing up on the computer this late at night?? Also some will escape into the wild if they are let loose. They do not understand the concept of yards. One last thing, one of the rabbits is a doe and if i sold them all to yall, she would be over bred to death by her brothers because they would be crammed in a pen together. "
