A pair of new-born rabbits were discovered at Edinburgh Airport by security staff.
The animals were discovered in an airlock, with ‘eyes closed and no mother in sight’. The workers contacted the SSPCA, and made a warm and comfortable resting spot for the bunnies.
At the end of their shift, the SSPCA hadn’t arrived yet – so one staff member drove the rabbits to a welfare centre in Alloa.
Posting online, Edinburgh Airport said: “While on shift, a security team found two newborn rabbits in an airlock – eyes still closed and no mother in sight.
“They contacted the Scottish SPCA for help and, in the meantime, made them more comfortable in a quiet spot with tissue paper to keep them warm. As their shift came to an end and the SPCA hadn’t yet arrived, one staff member kindly volunteered to take them to the SSPCA Welfare Centre in Alloa.
