gav Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 well got a new set up for me ferts today an old cattery with shed and run ! excellent i thought so i put my jill and her 5 week old kits into it and fed them and left them all happy ! however whilst jet washing the old one after dismantling it i heard a squealing noise i presumed it was next doors dog attacking there rabbit as this dog is always shut out , went and told her nextdoor ! 10 mins later she was shouting at me over the fence albeit 8 ft fence coz there dog wants to eat my dogs and cats that there was a ferret on her rabbit ooopssssssss !!! went round and oh dear there was 1 of my jills on the poor bunny !! so i got her off poor bunny was a tad knackered ! so my missus took it to the vet for her nextdoor it had a damaged eye that needed to be removed a lift up lid to its head and a crushed skull. ! so we persuaded next door to have it put to sleep still cost 95 quid *** what i dont get is why did a recently fed jill with 8 kits, leave the nest go past my missus pet rabbit in its hutch acroos my garden find a small hole in the fence , cross there garden then get in to the hutch via a 4 inch hole the dog had made 3 or 4 weeks ago ? all within max 0f 5 to 10 mins , and whilst i was there was the bunny alredy injured and the fert could smell blood ? am i wrong to have paid the bill as the hole was already there in the hutch next door rekons the bloke aint happy as it was his kids bunny and the kid is with its mum at the mo !

taz24 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) na i dont really there a pain in the **** there dog barks all day ! as for another rabbit noway as there dog had made such a hole in the hutch trying to get to it that they turned it round so all the rabbit saw was the wall !! just dont wanna fall out to bad as my house is on the market !! oh well As much as you think they are a pain she found your ferret eating her kids rabbit!!! How would you feel if you found her dog eating your ferrets? You have already paid £95, for the sake of another tenner and a bit of humble pie you could turn what must be an upsetting situation into one less so. You seem to think that because her rabbit hutch is not ferret proof she deserves no sympathy. Your ferret was found with her kids rabbit in its mouth show a bit of compasion and try to make amends. taz.
