We seem to have a baby Mr Bigglesworth & Friends. ❤ This is the smallest of a group of eight orphans we've taken on here in Vancouver. They're all colour-coded, and this one is 'Pink'. 🥰 Such a sweet baby! We're really hoping these guys make it. You can see their story here:

Sorelle joined Bruce Claggett on CKNW to talk about the local abandoned rabbit crisis, highlighting the recent dump of 10 lops in Everett Crowley Park.
Donations are appreciated for their ongoing care - Rabbitats.org/donate - but more importantly, we’re urging others to help make a change by contacting their local representatives.
Rabbitats would especially like to see the provincial government step up with a province-wide strategy to address rabbit abandonment and responsible feral rabbit management. The loose rabbits fall under the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship (WLRS.minister@gov.bc.ca), headed up by Randene Neill. Premier David Eby can also be contacted, as well as your local MLAs.
We recently put out an urgent call for a nursing mother to care for a litter of orphaned baby bunnies. A kind family in Mission, BC, reached out; they had been given a rabbit named Hazel who was just 4 months old, and unbeknownst to them, pregnant.
Tragically, this new mom had an undetected injury while she was being given space to safely raise her babies. Hazel had a severe abdominal infection and, despite immediate vet care, it had already spread too far. 😞🌈
Hazel left behind eight babies of her own, now orphaned as well. We’re up to 12 orphaned babies needing multiple daily feedings and attentive daily care.
It is a heartbreaking situation for all involved, but we are committed to giving every one of these babies the best chance at a healthy, happy life. If you are able, donations towards their care are deeply appreciated.
