Crisis as pets breed like rabbits
Fast-breeding pairs of rabbits are adding to a crowding crisis at a Lincolnshire animal shelter.
Nearly 100 unwanted pet rabbits have been occupying cages at a shelter run by Lincoln’s RSPCA branch.
The charity has stopped taking in more rabbits and says there is only enough funding to care for those already housed for two more months.
It says part of the problem is that pet shops are selling people breeding couples, instead of same-sex pairs.
The RSPCA has urged people to come forward to offer homes for the pets.
