Meet the animal lover who gave up her day job to rescue more than 200 abandoned rabbits - who live with her at home.
Paige Hadlow, 26, has spent more than £50,000 on saving unwanted bunnies over the last four years.
Her charity, Clement Rabbit Rescue, is based at her home in Wrexham, North Wales, where she currently lives with 24 rabbits.
Paige started working in a pet shop in January 2016 but quickly grew concerned about the welfare of the animals, particularly the rabbits.
After a year, she rescued Bertie from the shop she worked at - the poor bunny was due to be put down due to being severely underweight.
''I begged my manager at the time to let me take him home, I wanted to look after him and give him a second chance,'' Paige said.
"After just two weeks he was so much better, he was like a different rabbit and they thankfully let me keep him."
Bertie was the first of 200 rabbits Paige has now saved.
Paige now offers a nationwide service, and regularly travels all over the UK to come to the aid of pets whose owners can no longer care for them.
After making sure they're healthy, she tries to find each animal a suitable forever home, with prospective owners going through a strict vetting process.
The rescue centre is entirely funded by Paige, who now works full time at a veterinary surgery to help with her costs.
Paige, who has spent up to £8,000 in one month alone on animal care, said: "I just love them so much, they're all so interesting in their own unique way and are a joy to watch.
"Gaining a rabbit's trust is just the best feeling in the world, they don't naturally gravitate towards people so knowing that I have that sort of connection with them is really special.
''Contrary to people's perception, they're not actually that hectic and are really clean around the house so I've never had an issue with any mess."
Since the rescue's foundation, Paige has worked with more than 200 rabbits and counting, and regularly receives updates from their new owners.
Paige explained: "I get lots of pictures of the rabbits I've managed to rehome which is really lovely. It's very fulfilling knowing I've made a change to a bunnies life and found them a new, loving home."

This cute pic shows Finley the Jack Russell getting ready for a rather long walk.
Finley and his owner Wesley Dowd are set to hike 96 miles across Scotland's wildest landscapes for charity.
The pair will take part in the week-long West Highland Way trek to raise money for the Rochdale Children's Moorland Home, which has provided holidays for under-privileged children for more than a century.
Nine-year-old Finley recently had eye-removal surgery and requires medication for his remaining eye.
Wesley says: "Finley is my best mate. To some people, he's just a dog, but he isn't just a dog. He's made lots of children happy. We're a team."
Wesley and Finley will take on their challenge between May 9 – 16.
Story of the week
This young puppy is lucky to be alive after he swallowed the battery from a TV remote.
Four-month-old Hungarian Vizsla Dexter needed emergency treatment after grabbing the remote and scoffing the battery before owner Sharon Nicholson had a chance to stop him.
The panic-stricken pet owner, from Stockton-on-Tees, Co Durham, rushed to her local vets as she feared battery acid might be leaking into his internal organs.
There, the experts conducted an urgent medical procedure under general anaesthetic and managed to remove the potentially deadly object.
But that's not all they found, In fact, the team discovered the hungry hound wasn't just partial to batteries, also removing twigs and even bits of a belt from his belly.
Sharon has now warned other pet owners to keep an eye on their dogs. She said: "Having a puppy is like having a child; you need to keep everything out of reach."
Wow!
A cat burglar struck at a pet shop, leaving staff shocked at the mess left behind.
When the team at Purdy's Pet Shop in Coventry spotted teeth marks on an open bag of dog food, at first they suspected rats were to blame.
But after inspecting CCTV footage, they were stunned to see a laid-back moggie was behind the midnight break-in, having entered the premises through a window in the loo.
Staff watched in shock as the black and white cat opened a bag of dog food and chowed down cheerfully before taking an hour-long nap and doing its business in a corner.
It was only then the naughty pussycat escaped the way it came in.
Store manager Tracey Nelfon said: "We were so surprised to see it was a cat!"

Police officers took a plucky parrot under their wing when it took a shine to their car.
The brightly-coloured bird, resplendent with green and orange feathers, made itself at home on the blue lights of a patrol car before officers brought it to the RSPCA.
Wolverhampton Police tweeted: "#OneInCustody. We found this little chap in our car park this morning… If you think you have lost your bird, please get in touch."
We're sure he's free as a bird by now…
