Bunny up for sale :( needs a new home ASAP.

[Goldy]

unfortunatly i have to move house into a flat, so my beloved rabbit is up for sale.

He comes with a hutch,
run,
food (6+ months worth.),
hay (6+months worth.),
toys
2 x water bottles
etc.

all im asking for is £50 as i need him gone before the 20th.

it is a full "starter kit" for anybody who wants a lovely little companion. he's quite shy so wont be running about causing a nusence. lol.

awwww cute.

[speedplay]

After 4 years with my ex, the only thing I miss is the rabbits as she took them with her.

Good luck rehoming the little fella!

I had a rabbit once, called Nobbo, although it was a girl rabbit, we didn't know what sex it was when we bought it. It was the most agressive animal I've ever known. It went for my dog, my kids, me, anyone. You had to tip the hutch upside down to get it out to clean the hutch. Murder it was, and it's wee stank. This one looks adorable, and I'm sure it will be found a nice new home soon. ahhhh

[Stenno]

My neighbour has a rabbit. We both live in second floor one bedroom flats so it's more than possible to keep it. Just a thought.

sorry but that made me giggle :D

[Littlepeahead]

I've kept rabbits in the house before, you just have to be careful they don't chew cables but you can buy cable covers. They are pretty easy to house train with a litter tray. (Easier than training a man to put the loo seat down in fact) so why not keep it?

Mum has one in the house at the moment who lives in a dog cage and is let out whenever they are home. He seems to get on quite well with two cats and a Jack Russell terrier.

[-Ralph-]

Is it accustomed to children?

[The Idle Biker]

sorry but that made me giggle :D

You're welcome mate, and when we moved I had to dig it's coffin (shoe box) up cos the kids demanded it came with us, and then I had to re-plant it in the garden of the new house. I swear the bloomimg thing was kicking and spitting all the way out of London.

[Goldy]

Unfortunately we asked the landlord if we could have him but he said no straight away. As regards to being good with children, I've never had children around him tbh but he is so calm and docile I'm sure he will. if you fancied a trip out you can come and see?

Thanks

[husky03]

if your wanting to rehome him why are you asking for money?-give him away if you can no longer provide the animal with the home he needs.

[christopher]

It's not just the animal though, it's what it comes with that also has monetary value.

As a last resort I could understand giving it to someone for nothing or taking it to a "Rabbit Rescue" place, but if I was in the owners shoe's I'd be asking for an amount of money also.

Good luck with the rehoming, cool little creatures they are! What's his age?

[husky03]

nah mate-maybe in your book that makes it right but not in mine-if you take on an animal and your circumstances change you give it to the best home you can find to ask money for it doesn't sit right.

Absolutely mate. But it's not something you can really explain to anyone who sees it different.

Free rabbit with £50 of gear :)

[-Ralph-]

If he had posted asking 'for free to a loving home' for the rabbit, then in a separate thread posted a rabbit hutch and associated accessories for sale £50 quid, would anybody have had a problem with it?

[husky03]

no -because then he's not asking for money for a pet that he NEEDS rehomed-can you not see it ?

[sv4me]

If everyones finished arguing semantics, this bunny needs a good home :thumbsup:

I'd have him but our jack russell would make short work of him

[-Ralph-]

no -because then he's not asking for money for a pet that he NEEDS rehomed-can you not see it ?

Yes, of course I can see it. I thought myself when I first read this that if the pet needs a new home I wouldn't be asking money for it.

But then I saw it the other way too and thought to myself, the hutch, food, accessories, etc are worth 50 quid, so I wouldn't mind paying 50 quid for a rabbit that came with all that stuff. Really what you allocate the little green notes to makes no difference IMO.

Goldy hasn't posted since the question was raised. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that the welfare of the animal is his top priority, and therefore if somebody made him the offer giving the animal a loving home, but didn't need all the stuff, that he'd let the rabbit go and sell the stuff on ebay.

Until somebody has made him that offer, and he's turned it down and insisted on getting money for the rabbit, we shouldn't really make a judgement. Thus far it's only the way he has advertised it that people have taken exception to, we have no idea what his real motives are.

ditto, a bunch of twonks reading things litterally, unecessailly interfering with other peeps business! Get a life springs to mind :rolleyes:

[The Idle Biker]

+1 what a load of pompous twaddle. Sell yer rabbit and its gear Goldy if you can. Not to me though I have a lurcher and a jack russel and I hunt rabbits with them. If you want to sell your property do it. I bet you never thought you'd get the responses you did from your post?

[appollo1]

eurgh .........who would want to buy a used rabbit!!!













oops my mistake it is the fluffy type not the battery operated !!

[appollo1]

After 4 years with my ex, the only thing I miss is the rabbits as she took them with her.


i believe Ann Summers sell a variety of different types if you are missing the rabbits that much!!

[Quedos]

I want - but fear that It maybe too much and your too far away.
I also fear that Sammi may not like it ( the hamster with attitude)

Hope you get somewhere soon.

[Littlepeahead]

It is a good idea to charge something, as if it will stop anyone 'adpoting' it just so they get a free cage and food that they can sell, then getting rid of the rabbit by dumping it somewhere.

I recently adopted 2 cats from Cats Protection and they cost me £60 each, I could have got a kitten cheaper from a dodgy pet shop but by paying this amount it shows I have a comittment to the animals.

Of course I then paid out a whole load more on toys, scratching posts, grooming brushes, food, litter, water fountain, and a new duvet set as they accidentally ripped my existing one, and a new turntable lid as they accidentally smashed the one I had. Hm, anyone want 2 naughty cats? Yours for £250 each.

LOL! Unusual for me to be the diplomatic voice of reason in a thread eh? :D

[husky03]

What? :-dd I was diplomatic, and I gave reasons! ;)

[husky03]

lol -no like you

[Goldy]

Sorry, i havent been on for the last couple of days, been trying to sort out my new flat.

ill try and answer a couple of questions raised by explaining my "situation." and how i becam in possesion of him......

he used to belong to my sister, who lived in Sheffield. she along with her boyfriend had him as a pet, their relationship ended up badly, to the point where he told her to "take the rabbit or ill not feed him and post his body to you when he's dead!" at this point myself along with our father rented a van and drove up to sheffield and collected her, all her stuff which included the rabbit.

she moved into a bedsit and was not alowed to take him so she gave him to me, all i was given was him. and a little bit of info about him, being that he's a netherland dwarf and at the time "about 12-18 months old" (i've had him about a year or so. So Christopher, i'm saying between 2-3 years old, just to cover myself.)

I have had to buy his food, hay, toys, hutch, run, general medical things, like shots and nails cut etc. all of which would come to more than £50 im sure everyone will agree to that.

ELECTRO, you saw it the same way that i was looking at it, you cant buy rabbits from pet shops for less than £40 normally, even if you somehouse was given one for nothing, you would still have to buy:

the run £50 ish,
hutch £100 ish,
food £20 (for the same qty, from a shop.),
hay £30 (for the same qty, from a shop.)



I would hate to think how much money i have spent in the last year on him, so Im sorry if you find it morraly wrong that im asking for £50 for him and all he comes with. If you that bothered, why waste time replying to this thread on the forum where thats precious time you could spend been a **** and ringing every pet adoption centre, rehoming centre and RSPCA branch in the country!

if any one GENUINE would like a loving pet, please feel free to PM me, and we'll exchange numbers and address.

[ty_uk]

Hey £50 quid aint bad..you can have a pet for some years to come and a nice rabbit stew and still flog the run & hutch on ebay.

[Stenno]

I've only been on the forum less than a week but does every thread end up with an argument?! :P I'll link a friend to this post, his home seems to resemble a zoo in terms of the number of pets he has.

[Electro]

Not arguments mate. Just debates on what people think about the specific post. Most if them are comedy :)

[missyburd]

I also fear that Sammi may not like it ( the hamster with attitude)
.

First time I've heard of someone worried about offending their hamster with a newcomer! :-P

I'm a huge animal-lover and have had rabbits all my life. I don't see a problem with charging that extra bit, if it was just the rabbit on its own then maybe that would be different but owning any pet isn't cheap..unless it's a slug ;) and it's only normal that you try and claim a little back somewhere.. If I was having to rehome a puppy I'd probably have a travelling crate, a few toys and bowls etc to get rid of too, not cheap! And in my eyes, if I was buying a puppy, I'd be perfectly happy to pay out a bit towards these things as it would save me a ton of hassle having to go out and get myself. Swings and roundabouts, everyone's different.

He's a lovely little bunny Goldy, I'd have him in a flash but you're too far away. Really hope you find a home for him soon. You could always put a little ad in your local pet shop? Assuming you haven't already done so lol

[-Ralph-]

I'd have him in a flash but you're too far away

I'd have him in a flash too, and I'm not far away, but I'm travelling up to Leeds a lot for work at the moment, leaving my wife to look after our 3yr old son, a cat and a dog, so it wouldn't be fair to give her another job to do. And I know what my son does to our cat and dog, who are both child friendly and extremely docile. If the bunny has never been exposed to children, an excited 3yr old boy might give the poor thing a heart attack.

[SuzukiNess]

hey goldy, have you tried pets at home? as far as i know they will take in rescue rabbits. the rabbit gets a good home, and you could sell the rest of the goodies on ebay? just a suggestion..

or try

You didn't see what she done to the curtains when she escaped!!
she placid enough and never bites us but she so has an attitude and she's totally mental Love her to bits

But so want bunny too but as usual too far away:(

Seems that way. Becoming more apparant each year as well. Certainly why im on less and less (some will be pleased about that).



Shame about the rabbit. I like him, looks cute. If I didn't have two Medium Lion Head rabbits already, i'd be interested :lol: We keep ours in a 48" dog cage with a built in 2nd level, in the house.

Go for the £50, but if someone offers you less, but it means it going to good loving home, i'd opt for that. Nothing wrong in trying to cover a little cost. Ours were free, but the RSPCA just asked for a donation, so we put in about £60, and then spent another £20+ with starter bits n bobs from the center until we "upgraded".

Ours are now little snobs. Great personalities though, just not very loving (we leave them too it, they get the run of the house when we're home, let outside with us into the garden, fresh veg every night, spoilt little buggers). Way we see it, they are rabbits, and should spend time together, and come see us when they want, not when we want to give them attention.
