Easter Rabbit sales have started be on lookout

Leah from Naenae

Please look out for abandoned or simply escaped rabbits in your area too many times people get a rabbit and find out that they're a pretty big commitment and let them go

Of course there's also people who will keep their rabbits and love them, even after finding that out but don't have their enclosure if it's outside fully secured and as such rabbit escapes

I'm not calling for a witch hunt against rabbit owners just simply asking for people to be on the lookout for rabbits during this time of year, domestic rabbits can not survive in the wild even if "wild" means roaming around in a suburb, they have no survival instincts when compared to wild rabbits and are dependent on people for survival

If you are getting a rabbit and are housing them outdoors make sure their hutch and run is secure so they can't dig out and that it isn't open to the air, we do after all have our native falcon and here in Naenae we've got one flying about, she dived at where I'd had my rabbits outside earlier that day one time, not to mention she attacked a duck on our front lawn, so yeah rabbit owners keep an eye and ear out for her too

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
