Rabbit Rescue, Control & Management

A super delayed Humane Canada Summit wrap-up (better late than never, right?).

Last month, we exhibited at the Humane Canada Summit in Whistler, chatting about humane solutions for abandoned and unwanted rabbits.

We listened in on brilliant talks, with a special shout-out to Emilia Gordon, Erica Schumacher, Jo Jarred, and Dr. Carol Tinga for their insights on rabbit welfare.

Through our conversations, one theme came up again and again: shelters want to do better for their bunnies.

Care for dogs and cats is often well established, but rabbits are too often an afterthought. They require specialized housing, handling, and care, especially in multi-species environments.

We chatted about practical, compassionate approaches, including:

- Varied housing options (ethical indoor and outdoor solutions)
- Multi-level setups to maximize space and encourage natural movement
- Social living models, like our adoptable colonies at The Bunny Cafe

Most of all, we emphasized the need - thousands of domestic rabbits are loose across Canada. This is a national issue, and something only collaboration can solve.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to join the conversation and feed Salt and Sage some tasty greens. 🐰🥗

And a special thanks to all the vets and others who rallied around Salt when we noticed he was limping! He had the best of care. (It turned out to be an old break in his foot and more serious than expected, but he's doing well in his new home). ❤ ... See MoreSee Less

This past weekend, Dr. Veronica volunteered her time to protect our shelter bunnies from RHD, a highly contagious and fatal disease.

With the help of volunteers Deanna, Chelsea, Amylia, and Charmmy, we vaccinated 227 colony bunnies in a single day!
