I'm happy to report that the little not-wild bunny at PAWS went to rescue yesterday :D He wasn't doing well at the shelter, and we were worried about him. He will be much better off away from the barking and with consistent care. Thank heavens for rescues!

Thank you all for confirming what I thought--I thought it was a domestic rabbit, and in fact I have a rabbit myself who has the brown agouti coloring, so I knew it could be domestic, but I also thought the face and ears of the rabbit at the shelter had "domestic" written all over them. As for...

The shelter where I am a volunteer recently received a rabbit that, according to the people who turned the rabbit in, was a wild rabbit they raised from babyhood, feeding it with an eyedropper. The rabbit is certainly "wild" colored, but other than that, it doesn't look like a wild rabbit to...

I have been volunteering with the shelter bunnies at PAWS since late August of 2007, so I haven't been there for an Easter and post-Easter season yet, but experienced volunteers have told me we usually get in a lot of bunnies after Easter. In the last two weeks, we got in eight bunnies, and the...

Oh, yes. All of the police raid bunnies are out. Thank you. I will start another thread about the fact that we got in eight rabbits this week :X

Thank you all for that information. It does help to be reminded that these things happen to others, and I will pass that along to the foster mom. Since the bunny wasn't in my home, I am not sure what the carpet access, etc., was. I do know she had bought a new type of food the day before, but I...

Just wanted to report that the last of the police-raid bunnies went into foster care yesterday, and I continue to be overwhelmed by all the support we've been given in helping these rabbits. It is so easy to feel overwhelmed, sometimes, but knowing that other people care,too, really does make...

We found out recently that we will be moving back to Kentucky some time in the next year. It looks like I will have my work cut out for me, there, too :(

One of our foster moms called me in tears this morning to let me know that one of her foster buns passed away. She has been fostering two bonded brothers, neutered male harlequin rexes, Berry and Bramble. There was more food left in the cage this morning than there usually is, and she noticed a...

I'm so sorry to hear about Abner's eye--I had no idea it was so serious :( It is hard to know what to do if you can't tell for sure if it is painful, isn't it? Hugs to Abner from me!

Sorry to be so long in following up. We have truly been overwhelmed by the kindness of the responses we got from Leila, Les Lapins Rescue, Luv N Bunns rescue, and the Rabbit Habit, as well as individuals who heard about the situation from others. Leila was very patient with the fact that I was...

Right now, it seems to be half and half--the buns in good shape are calm and inquisitive. The starved buns are skittish and depressed. I am going to go check on them today because I don't think the shelter's care will be enough for the juveniles as depressed as they seem. The one I brought home...

I am working on contacting them. I know they tend to be full, but we have to try!

Thanks, all. Today's update: the two babies who were in the worst shape went to rescue this morning before I even got to the shelter. There are 9 females and 5 males left. Eight of them are in perfect condition and ready for adoption, and 6 were in bad shape and need foster care--mostly...

Once again, I tempted the fates by feeling a moment of relief on Sunday when I heard from another bunny volunteer that the rabbit room at PAWS was empty--every rabbit was adopted or safe in foster care. Two bunnies were surrendered at the shelter later that same day... and then... I was at the...
