CARE home residents are hopping with delight over the arrival of two pet rabbits.

Bupa's Claremont Care Home in Ayr adopted the furry friends after holding its annual Summer Fete in July with a local pet company.

Carol Barr, Home Manager, said: "All the residents adore the rabbits we've bought for the home. I think they find it quite therapeutic having pets here ."

"We try to enrich the lives of our residents as much as possible."
