We are appealing for information after two pet rabbits were found dead on 24 January.

The rabbits were discovered by Burdiehouse Burn near Gilmerton Dykes Crescent, Edinburgh by a member of the public.

Senior Inspector, John Toule said, “One rabbit was tan and the other was white with small black markings.

“Their bodies had been left on blankets and attempts had been made to cover the rabbits’ bodies with a cardboard box.

“The rabbits were not microchipped.

“If anyone has any information on the owner of these rabbits, or the rabbits themselves they can contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
