Another Do-Gooder Does Us Harm
If it’s not “wannabee” breeders, it’s HOARDERS.
The hoarder mentality is a complete study on it’s own .. you should “Google” it.
The very short definition of the hoarder is “one that feels that no one else can care for these animals as well as I can.” They take on so many bunnies (cats, dogs, etc) that they ultimately can’t give even basic care to any of them.
A couple of weeks ago (Jan 27) we got out our extra-large shoehorn and made cage space for twenty more bunnies that were coming in from a hoarder situation. The husband was letting his wife enjoy herself. She had a little “mini-rescue” working — she went overboard — he said “enough!”. She did not get into this situation overnight, but it did only take her a few months. The husband diligently found homes for a good number of them, but he found out what we already knew. You cannot undo a hoarder situation, you can only “stop the insanity”.
They showed up with twenty-three rabbits! We scrambled for even more hutch room and got them all settled in, but this has maxxed us out again. We had some “breathing room”, but we’ve all heard that “the Lord moves in mysterious ways …”. I guess we were preparing for this without realizing it.
We dodged the hutch space bullet - for the moment only. They just keep coming! Please remember us with your prayers and help us where you can.
