THERE is a desperate need for homes for abandoned rabbits and hamsters, says Plymouth and South West Devon RSPCA.

The branch is now at full capacity after a recent increase in the number of abandoned small animals being brought in by its inspectors.

All the animals have been vaccinated and neutered, and many different colours and sizes of bunnies are seeking new homes.

Anybody able to provide a caring home and who has the space for a suitable hutch is urged to contact the RSPCA on 07751 707102.
