RSPCA staff are trying to rehome 160 rabbits this Easter after they were found crammed into small cages in a garage. The pets were rescued after the owners became overwhelmed as a result of overbreeding.
Most of the rabbits were housed in cages stacked up on top of each other and a small number were running free on the garage floor. A pet-sitter contacted the charity when she found a dead rabbit and another who was trying to eat her own litter.
The owners started with four rabbits 15 years ago, but didn't neuter their pets so they continued to breed until it had got out of control.
