Four young rabbits were found dumped in a shopping bag in the Toxteth area.
A member of the public called the RSPCA after finding the underweight rabbits in the L8 area at around 4pm on June 21. They are now being cared for at an animal centre run by the charity in Upper Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
The rabbits are thought to be around three-months-old, and weighed just 490g when they were picked up - in just a week that has almost doubled to 1kg. The RSPCA said it had seen a 49% increase in rabbits coming into its care during the first five months of this year - and the charity is building more accommodation at centres to help keep up with demand.
