Garden Centre on Upland Road - why do they insist on keeping a neglected rabbit?

So the last rabbit recently died, now they have inflicted the suffering on a new one. Kept in a tiny hutch, with overgrown claws and no water provided. The man is very rude and clearly has no care for this rabbit so why do they have it? It shouldn't be allowed...
Unfortunately the RSPCA wouldn't help in this instance as the rabbit is currently not in a bad enough state, and there aren't any rules about rabbits and how big their hutch should be. It would just be good if other people complained too and maybe they could give the rabbit to a family who would take better care of it.

Both rabbits are still alive but have swapped hutches. They have been at the owners home for the christmas and new year period and only returned to the garden centre two days ago. Which rabbit has died because both were in good health this morning with fresh water and food available . Both hutches were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected whilst the rabbits were on holiday. Their nails are freshly clipped and the water bowl is checked twice daily and filled accordingly.

Please pop in with any other queries regarding the welfare of these rabbits.

PennyPitstop,


I have also noticed these rabbits before - and the hutches are so small. They should be let out every day and have grass to graze on, even if it's just in a smallish run. Having animals in small cages at garden centres is the kind of thing we all grew up with in the 80's, not really appropriate for this day and age.

Yes I can't even bear to go into that garden centre as I find it upsetting to see the rabbits looking so bored in a tiny hutch. When I did go in once the service was good but I don't want to support a business which thinks its customers want rabbits kept like that.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.

    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
