Today I went (once again) to the pet shop I brought the last two of Coco's second litter. One of them had sold within a week of their arrival, the other one is still there and has been for the last four weeks. Although they have a rather nice set up for the bunnies four weeks in a pet shop is quite a long time and I worry he won't find a home - worst of all he has become sick and they have separated him from the others.
When I first looked in the cage and didn't see Pips I thought he had found a home but when I started chatting to a member of staff she showed me his tiny cage in the corner. he looked so dispirited and lifeless. He used to be the hardest to catch of the lot. He barely moved when I scooped him up. He was a perfectly healthy bunny used to running around in a large enclosure eating grass and timothy hay. Now he has a slightly weepy eye and Diorrhea!!! I left my number and offered to nurse him back to health if necessary but I couldn't really commit to bying him back (although I was close to) I have a bad feeling he is not going to make it, he looks completely listless. I wonder will they get a vet to check him. What should I do? Sabine
 
That's what I suggested to them. They did say they would consult a vet if he got worse. They are all "pet-people" in there and I couldn't see them delibarately neglecting the little fellow.... I am not sure how pushy I should get, after all he's not my rabbit anymore
 
When I called the other day Pips wasn't there anymore.I feared the worst but as it happened a girl working in the store had taken him home to nurse him better. Isn't that great!
 
I got a call from the pet shop this morning: Pips passed away. They have no idea what was wrong with him but will investigate. He, well it's actually a she was a perfectly healthy bunny when we took her there about four weeks ago. I am really sad. Sabine
