Rabbits are the most abused domestic pet in England and Wales, with 35,000 abandoned every year, says the RSPCA.
The animal charity said a survey found that 70% of rescued rabbits had been kept hutched 24 hours a day.
Almost 40% had had no food, and half had been living in filthy conditions.
It found that people bought rabbits but then quickly lost interest. On average the abandoned pets it came across had been dumped after just three months.
