Their loss is your gain, and Thumpers too. I believe that things happen for a reason. I wasn't planning on ever having a bunny. One of the classrooms in my center were doing animals and a family brought in their pet bunny. He was in a small cat carrier with bedding in it and a water bottle attached to the front of it. There was no hay and no food. She wanted to leave him there all week with no hay or food. I was shocked. I knew it was bad for bunnies to go without food, and when I mentioned that to her she said to me, we'll can't he have some of Applesauces (our guinea pig) food? I just kinda shook my head yes because I didn't know what else to say. I gave him some hay and veggies. I took him out later that afternoon to show the kids, and I noticed that his ear was encrusted in blood and sores and his nose looked like it had been injured. When she came back to get her son, I asked her about it. She admitted that she was only going out to visit him once a week to give him food and water. She had no idea what happened to his ears or nose and had no plans to take him to the vet. She didn't even know for sure if he WAS a he OR how old he was , even though he had been with them his entire life. Apparently they started with two bunnies, which had turned into TONS of bunnies very quickly. Unfortunately, he was the last one left. I listened to her story and found myself asking her if she would consider letting me adopt him. The rest is history. Best decision I have ever made.
