Exactly 300 bunnies at our Richmond shelter on Sunday and another 53 at the Bunny Cafe on the previous Thursday thanks the awesome Dr. Ryan Wong. RHDV2 is a major threat to rabbits especially this time of year. Weather issues more than once so it was such a relief to get them all done, finally. Thanks so much to the vax team – Deanna, Chelsea, Jillian, Cara Jo, Jon and Dana – and FunforGoal kids, and big apologies to the regular volunteers who had to clean up the big mess left after catching 300 bunnies! We track every rabbit and we know exactly when they are due but with rabbits moving around, bunnies being bonded, pulled for illness or injury, merging and creating new colonies etc it’s, really hard to just go in and cherry pick so we just do them all. Some may not be quite due yet and others may be well overdue, but now we have a new starting point for next year.

Sad to report that our star bunny Maggie didn't make it through her surgery today. 💔 Rabbitats will be a darker and smaller place without all our big white bunnies. Visitors were thrilled to be greeted by our big white bunnies colony behind the house, but age thinned their ranks. We lost Maggie's mate Morgan, the biggest of them all, last year. (They have been laid to rest together). Maggie is mourned by her foster human Michael Kossin and her friend Honker, who was with her when she passed. Thanks so much to the vets at Capitol Hill Animal Hospital for taking such great care of her. We also lost Terpena today, under the foster care of Brittney Kells for the last 9 years, to old age. Another big white girl, she was originally Alice, a well-known poster bunny thanks to her initial foster, photographer Sarah Virag. Most of these rabbits were escaped or rescued meat bunnies, and we're happy that they got to live long happy lives. Still, it's devastating to lose them. RIP big girls. 🌈🥺

Rabbitats joined BC Bob on his new show "Now You Know BC" to talk about all things bunny. 🩷Thanks for having us!
Check out the clip below to watch Meg get beat up by "Big Girl" on live television! 🫠 She deserved 95% of those bites.
