They have been holed up at the Animals in Distress centre for the last three-and-a-half years – and they fancy a change of scenery.
The centre has some 50 rabbits to offload to anyone who feels they can give them a good ‘forever’ home… just in time for Easter.
A spokesman at the centre said: ‘Rabbits can make great pets for children to teach them a sense of responsibility and how to care for an animal. But they are far from being fluffy toys. Most bunnies love human interaction and affection, but most do not like being cuddled.
‘Parents also need to be willing to take responsibility for the care of the rabbit if their child loses interest or they grow up and leave home.’
The spokesman said of Arthur and Patrick: ‘They were born here, and were rehomed once but, through no fault of their own, they were returned to us. They have now been here longer than any of our other rabbits.
‘Arthur and Patrick are sweet-natured, cheeky boys who enjoy human company and attention. They are very friendly and easy to handle, and are great with children.’
The centre is open seven days a week from 10am until 4pm. Visitors are welcome.
The charity will be holding a Rabbit Awareness stall on March 25 in Courtenay Street, Newton Abbot.
There will also be a Rabbit and Retail Easter Trail for children – with the chance to win £50.
