Animal shelters across the country are overwhelmed with unwanted rabbits bought or bred during the pandemic - making them now the UK’s most neglected pet.
The RSPCA said its intake of bunnies has increased by a third with nearly 900 taken in last year, compared to 672 in 2020.
Vanessa Cunningham, director of care & veterinary Services at Wood Green, The Animals Charity, told how hers and other shelters are also at full capacity after seeing nearly a 30% increase.
