Hi, my neighbour found a small completely black rabbit, unfortunately it has no distinguishing features. It is very friendly. I can look after it short term (i have two rabbits of my own) but if the owners do not come forward i will have to re-home it. Please get in touch if you know who it belongs to.

Hello, I am hoping to get some recommendations for tent lamps. We have tried a number of lamps and they just do not provide enough light at night, we only have a three man tent with no electric hook up. Any ideas would be greatfully received. Sarah
