The RSPCA is now investigating the incident and has urged anybody with info to return ahead.
RSPCA animal rescue officer Cara Gibbon mentioned: “It does look like these baby rabbits were an accidental litter and whoever owned the parents has taken this drastic and cruel course of action.
“The lady who found them said that she’d seen a few flyers put around alerting residents to someone who was dumping rabbit hay and poo in the bin chute.
“The communal bins are only accessible to people who live in the flats, so someone may have seen these rabbits before or know of their owner.
“Luckily, the rabbits were in good condition, but if they hadn’t been found when they were then that might not have been the case.
“We would urge anyone in a similar situation who is unable to care for rabbits whose numbers have grown like this to get in touch with us or a local rabbit rescue.
“All these rabbits will be rehomed in time and we thank our local rescue Bunnies and Piggies in Need, who were able to take in this large number of bunnies for us in one evening.”
