The recent eviction of a woman from her one-bedroom apartment in Wheaton has left the DuPage County Animal Care and Control Center with a warren of their own after 69 rabbits were discovered in the apartment. Kerry Vinkler, director of the center, said the oldest rabbit was 18 months and that all of the rabbits, save one, were in good condition. They're domesticated Dutch rabbits, which have a life expectancy of six to ten years. They're even the center's Pet Pick of the Week.
