*NEW RICHMOND LOUNGE AIMES TO EDUCATE, FIND HOMES FOR BUNNIES*

The dedicated bunny lounge works with a local rabbit rescue organization to help abandoned rabbits.

Rugs, throws, cushions and of course bunnies are what the community can expect at a new "bunny lounge" in Richmond.

Cozy Carrots on Minoru Boulevard, between Westminster Highway and Elmbridge Way, officially opened on Saturday, Jan. 24, featuring 11 rabbits.

The bunnies all come from Richmond-based Rabbitats Rescue Society, a volunteer-run charity that looks after abandoned and feral rabbits.

Vivian Cheung, owner of Cozy Carrots, said a bunny lounge is different from a bunny cafe in that there is no barista or coffee bar serving fresh drinks to patrons.

However, there are prepackaged drinks for purchase.

She explained this allows people to focus fully on the bunnies, to learn how to interact with them and get to know them as potential pets.

"The space is very comfortable and cosy and we wanted to make it as home-like as possible," said Cheung.

Cheung said she's been a supporter of Rabbitats for about 10 years.

Cheung said the concept of a bunny lounge has been on her mind for a while.

Cheung said the purpose of Cozy Carrots is to help adopt out the bunnies and to show that bunnies can be great pets, in addition to dogs and cats.

"We want to find them a home and to give education to people about what things they would need to prepare for, what to expect when taking care of a bunny as a pet and how bunnies behave and interact with people," she said.

"The bunnies still belong to Rabbitats and we're just kind of taking care of them for the organization."

Anyone interested in fostering or adopting any of the bunnies will need to go through the vetting process with Rabbitats.

Anyone interested in visiting the bunny lounge is recommended to make an online reservation as there are limited walk-in spots.

Upon arrival, everyone is debriefed about the lounge. The biggest priority is that everyone, including the bunnies, feel comfortable.

A 30-minute session costs $9 and an hour costs $18. Admission includes a cup of vegetables for patrons to feed the bunnies with.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Aside from the bunny area, there's educational material and books about bunnies, as well as a retail area filled with bunny-themed items.

Cozy Carrots can be booked for private parties, with plans for having TV and movie days in the future.

The bunny lounge is open Monday through Friday from 3 to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sundays from 1 to 10 p.m. at #171-5951 Minoru Blvd. ... See MoreSee Less

Well we'd love to show you photos from the big spay/neuter clinic we had planned at the BC SPCA Hospital today, but... we can only show you volunteers in our shelter's vet room prepping for tomorrow instead. Why? First the Rabbitats van just up and dies in the middle of the road. 🚚 (Luckily no bunnies were on board). 🐰 Then our clinic coordinator wakes up sick as a dog. 🤧 (Do dogs even get the flu?) Then after navigating a bunch of closed roads and non-working traffic lights to get to the SPCA Hospital very early this morning, we arrived to find there was no power! ⚡️😮 BC Hydro in its infinite wisdom decided to shut down power for whole city blocks with zero notification! Good thing it didn't go out in the middle of the surgeries! So a big thanks to all the vets and other volunteers (we had 20-something!) for giving it a go today and remaining in good humour. <3 The power is now back on 🔌and we'll be trying again tomorrow, which means trying to do all 26 rabbits in one day. Wish us luck! 🍀 (BC Hydro should give us a HUGE donation to make up for this one!) 🤑 ... See MoreSee Less
