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.

Special delivery 🤍
We were all set to transport Oatmeal over from the island, when we got an urgent message from our friends at Fantastic Beasts Veterinary Services. | 🐾👩🏼⚕️💖
6 babies, just weeks old, were brought to their clinic that morning to be euthanized. No health concerns, but the humans weren’t ready to take on the responsibility of 6 little lives.
It was meant to be, with transport already booked for that very day.
Harbour Air flew them over (thank you so much!!!) and they’re safe and sound with baby foster Jen.
Don’t worry about Oatmeal - she’s become a clinic bunny 🥰🐰 and we’ll bring her over post-spay (pending no one brings her home before then!).
It's that time! Rabbitats is excited to auction off spots in our 2027 charity calendar. 100% of proceeds go to our shelter buns in need, helping provide them with the love and care that they deserve.

Beyond a spot in our calendar, you'll receive a digital album including professional photos of your bunny, taken by Yang Xia.
The photoshoot will take place in Vancouver BC, at The Bunny Cafe, September 21+23 from 3-6PM.
Sweet dreams from our new Apple Tree rabbitat. 🐰🌳
We moved an intact from a smaller space - beyond larger terrain, thus move gave us the chance to safely re-introduce one of their pals; she was pulled earlier this week for refusing her pellets, but after a couple nights under the covers (yes, Deanna will quite literally bring sick bunnies to bed to keep their body temp up), she was ready to reunite with her squad.
Videos taken moments after the big move, so they look a bit shocked - standing in reverence to the great apple tree.
We hope they like exploring their new home. ❤️
