These seven rabbits are very lucky to be alive! We had a call on the 16th Jan from a member of the public who told us there were a few rabbits sitting at the entrance of a local theme park. Although she asked the theme park to help, she was told by them that the rabbits were not their problem so she called us.

We drove for 40 minutes worrying if the rabbits would still be there. When we arrived, sure enough these little buns were sitting outside the theme park, which is very near to a main road. Some of them were easy to pick up, but some darted in the thick bushes which made things more difficult! We managed to catch 6 in 40 minutes, but one was more troublesome. She wasn't bothered that we were trying to save her life, and at some points sat two foot away from us eating a leaf or cleaning herself, however due to the thick bushes and brambles we couldn't reach her.

It started getting dark and we heard a fox so we knew we had to do something! The little bun ran out from the bushes, straight towards the busy road. Thankfully she changed her mind and turned around, back into the car park. After two and a half hours, we finally managed to catch her.

All rabbits are female. One we are concerned about as she is very skinny. They are all eating well and at the moment are staying in a large group, however when they are ready to find homes we will split them. All the rabbits are very friendly and not afraid of people at all

I'm following this rescue via facebook and like many others I am very disappointed in the response (or rather lack of it) from the theme park and it's staff, which has a high number of animals in their care. Classing dumped pet rabbits as 'wild animals' and 'not their problem', not offering a box or assistance in any form to get these buns away from the obvious dangers all round them when on their doorstep is very poor.

Well done to Furry Friends, shame on you 'No-name' theme park.

The theme park in question haven't responded to us yet, although I am aware they have responded to other people.
 
Whilst driving to them, we were very worried the rabbits would not be there, or be on the road. We were told there were five, but we are confident that we caught all of them.
 
thank goodness they are safe with you now. Absolutely disgusting of the theme park
 
For anyone in Surrey, we have the Chessington bunny story going in the Surrey Comet paper this week :)

These girls are being neutered next week and shortly afterwards, will be ready to find homes :)

x) What adorable buns.
It makes me ashamed to be human to think this happens without a second thought - hope the ones responsible are dealt with grrrr
Glad they are safe with you now, bet they are too x>>
 
Ohh they look like my wee Pebbles x) I hope they find loving homes, they are gorgeous so they shouldn't have much trouble :)

Shameful of the theme park. Not even the slightest concern for these buns? Goodness.
