Big Bertha with her jaw abscesses is doing okay but now we’re losing Dancer, another one of the very first rabbits trapped at the Auto Mall and part of our first colony of a dozen or so that went to our Surrey, BC, sanctuary. She was an adult when trapped 4 1/2 years ago. We just lost Dee Dee and another bunny from that group before her. Old age is setting in. (Kudos to sanctuary manager Kathy Lucier for spotting the problems so quickly). Meanwhile, we need more help with special needs rabbits, that’s our biggest issue. We have a hard time finding the resources to care for the sick and injured ones. We don’t have the volume of shelter volunteers who can handle the frequency and timing required to medicate rabbits, etc.. We REALLY need more volunteers willing to help with that. We don’t want to see these bunnies suffer and they have a lot of life in them yet so we don’t want to euthanize them, either. Please message or email if you can help!

Urgent! These two bunnies were just dumped in Squeah, on Yurkin Road, which is north of Hope, BC. Is there anyone in that area who can get them? Please message for the contact info.

We love our volunteers. <3 When a rescue is caring for hundreds of rabbits, there are always questions about the ability to spot medical issues, but our sharp-eyed crew do a pretty good job. Health checks can be as simple as making sure every rabbit in every colony comes to eat when dinner is served, but issues like these ones are harder to spot. But spot them they did. :) (The toe bunny just got an immediate amputation surgery and the vets are still trying to figure out the issue with the urine scald bunny).
Rabbitats' protocol calls for monthly 'bunny spas' where all the rabbits get physical exams and grooming (if needed), but manpower is a challenge. We are again without a proper Volunteer Coordinator, we're hoping to fill that position ASAP, but in the meantime if anybody wants to step up for the spas, we'd really appreciate it! We're based in Richmond, BC. (PS: We already have a 'spa' scheduled for one of our micro-sanctuaries in the Surrey/North Delta area this Saturday if anybody wants to help).
