THREE rabbits at a Worcestershire rescue centre are in need of forever homes.

The RSPCA Worcester and Mid-Worcestershire Branch issued an appeal to rehome three rabbits that have been in care for 150 days.

Limpet, Cowrie and Periwinkle have been in the care of the RSPCA Worcester and Mid-Worcestershire Branch since they were seven-week-old kits.

They came into the care of the branch as their mum - who was unneutered - had an unexpected litter with the owners unable to care for them.

They are now neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and ready to find new owners.

Claire Wood, from the RSPCA Worcester and Mid-Worcestershire Branch, said: “These boys have now been with us for 150 days and we're appealing for them to find their forever homes.

“They have now transformed into young rabbits who are full of character and are now in need of the company of their own Miss Right.

“Limpet is the most confident of the three. He is a real livewire, a characterful, outgoing bunny who will happily climb on your lap.

"Periwinkle is also something of a kleptomaniac when it comes to other rabbits' belongings as he loves to claim everything as his own.

“He isn't too keen on being handled and will run off if you try to stroke him, but he can be curious and will sometimes put a paw on your lap in order to check out what you are up to.

"Cowrie isn't too keen on being handled, but as long as you are happy to be ‘hands off’ he is quite comfortable to enjoy human company.

“All three rabbits would make a lovely addition to the family and we can’t wait to see them each go off to their forever homes.

"They would also each benefit from the company of a neutered female rabbit.

“Please give us a call on 01905 821272 or you can fill out an online application form on our website.”

Despite rabbits often being perceived as an ideal ‘starter pet’ for young children, the RSPCA has highlighted that they actually have very complex needs and are one of the most neglected pets in Britain.

The RSPCA has said that it deals with many calls about rabbits that have been neglected or abandoned.
