Tip of the Month
Measure or Weigh Everyday!
Have you ever wondered if your bunny is eating a consistent amount of food? Did he leave too many pellets or greens after mealtime and you aren't sure if he isn't feeling well or if he is just full?
If you take the time to measure or weigh the greens and pellets you feed your bunnies you'll know if they ate the "normal" amount.
It's also a great way to make sure you aren't overfeeding (which is so easy to do if you are just grabbing pellets by the handful) and when you take buns into the vet you can be positive you are giving a accurate account of her diet.
It might seem like a pain at first--but the payoff it worth it!

Need a New Home For Your Rabbit?
Because we have more rabbits in need of foster homes than we have space, we cannot foster rabbits from individuals. Although it is heartbreaking, we cannot take in every rabbit we are asked to so we focus our rescue efforts on rabbits in shelters whose time has run out. We always have a waiting list and a vacant space is usually filled within hours of an adoption.
If it is truly impossible for you to keep your rabbit, please read "Finding a Home for Your Rabbit." This article has tips on how to place a rabbit. If you cannot keep your rabbit until a new home has been found, PLEASE take him to a shelter. Setting your rabbit loose outside is a death sentence and it doesn't make him free-IT MAKES HIM FOOD!
However, if your rabbit has a behavioral issue that is making him difficult to live with we can help. Is your rabbit a digger? A chewer? A biter? Does he refuse to use his litter box? Does he chew on cords or have a strong "bunny smell?" Chances are, we have encountered it before and we can help you find a solution. Email us for a free information packet or for advice.
