Bunnies get a new home in Devizes

10:00am Saturday 4th February 2012 in News

Two of the five rabbits cruelly abandoned on a layby near Swindon have been rehomed at a nursery school in Devizes.

Staff and pupils at Sixpenny Nursery, which has just moved to new premises at the Roundway Hill Farm complex, were upset to read the report in the Gazette & Herald on January 19 about the couple who found the rabbits beside a main road in Swindon.

The rabbits were taken to the Cheldene veterinary centre in Ogbourne St George, near Marlborough.

Kate Easter, the proprietor of Sixpenny Nursery, said: “The pre-school children have welcomed the two rabbits, one black and one white, to their new home in the nursery garden in Devizes.”

Once the rabbits were given a clean bill of health by the vets at Ogbourne St George, they duly arrived at the nursery at the end of last week. The new arrivals have been named Benji and Daisy.
