🪺Vegan Easter egg hunt with fun prizes
🐇+ A Meet n’ Treat with real life Easter bunnies!
Entry is $6 per person (though feel free to donate more to our bunnies in need!), which includes complimentary bunny crafts, games, the egg hunt, and prizes. As always, 100% of proceeds raised goes directly to helping bunnies in need.
A few reminders to keep everything running smoothly for the bunnies and beyond:
🥬Our Meet n’ Treat comes at an extra cost of $6 per salad cup! You must have a salad cup to enter the Meet n’ Treat.
🐰These Meet n’ Treats are not petting zoos – our interactive system has hungry buns come right to you, grateful to snack on your cup of provided greens. This is how we keep our bunnies happy and honour their boundaries. Please respect our Meet n’ Treat rules, conveniently posted at the front of the queue, to keep every-bun safe.
👯We are all volunteers doing our best! Please treat all of our staff with respect.
🫶This is a fundraiser for rabbits in need! We try to keep our events as low-cost as possible, sharing bunny education with as many who will listen, while also fundraising for the 500+ bunnies in our care, and many more who need our help.
Looking forward to seeing your friendly faces soon!

Our Riley has left this world. 💔
He was a miracle from the beginning, surviving after he was run over by a car and left helpless in the street. A witness, human Riley, brought him to us. He was loved from that moment on.
We aim to love every bunny the same, but the bunnies certainly choose their favorites. Grumpy bunnies will give purrs to their favorite volunteer. A generally friendly bunny could nip a volunteer they’re unsure of. Riley was sweet with all, but found his person in Deanna.
Feedings, snuggles, and understanding. For the past 5 months, Deanna has been his mommy. She helped him graduate from syringe feeding to bowls of her magical Critical Care, and even to solid foods. He was making strides, enjoying his crunchies, and gaining weight.
We wanted to give this little boy every chance; multiple X-rays, surgeries, and medications. We had donors reach out specifically to help him. ❤ But in the end, it wasn’t enough.
His jaw was too badly damaged, it wouldn’t heal, and was prone to infection – the last one so severe, it was disintegrating the jawbone. Our vet put him under anesthesia for another set of X-rays and concluded that he had no chance of recovery. After a hard-fought battle, they let him remain asleep.
We weren’t ready for him to go, but we knew it was time. His passing was gentle, and he’s no longer in pain. We love you Riley.
