A rabbit who thrived under the care of the Scottish SPCA in Fishcross has now been released back into the wild.

As previously reported in the Advertiser, Munchie was found alone at less than two weeks old.

At the time, she was thin and her eyes had not even opened yet.

However, the day after arriving at the National Wildlife Rescue Centre, she opened her eyes and quickly began to gain weight.

She was then paired with another rabbit and the two were doing well together.

Now, the duo have been released back into the wild together.

The Scottish SPCA said: “Munchie was carefully paired with another rabbit in our care that was of a similar age and size. They quickly settled in well and were very happy living as companions.

“The next stage of their rehabilitation came after they were fully weaned and included being moved outside to acclimatise.

“After a successful period of acclimatisation, the pair could be released back into the wild.

“Now, they're stronger, together, and back where they belong.”
