 There has been no interest in the sisters, the RSPCA said |
The RSPCA in the East of England is seeking new homes for more than 100 rabbits this winter. Two sisters called Sleet and Storm, who have lived at Block Fen Animal Centre in Cambridgeshire since the summer, are among those who need new homes.
An RSPCA spokeswoman said the sisters, who love to play together, had received no interest from potential owners.
Centres in Buckinghamshire, Leicester, Nottingham and Derbyshire are also overflowing with rabbits, she added.
RSPCA animal welfare manager, Suzie Graham, said: "We urgently need to find homes for the rabbits in our centres so that we can take more in.
"Unfortunately, the rabbit isn't a popular pet at this time of year so we get more unwanted bunnies in and really struggle to re-home them.
"There is often an increase in unwanted rabbits during winter months, possibly as they are often kept as an outdoor pet and owners are deterred from caring for them when it's colder."
