Posted by Rabbitats on April 6, 2018Attention well meaning people wanting to check on and feed the feral rabbits in Richmond and elsewhere: PLEASE KEEP YOUR DISTANCE! The Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease virus was spread in Nanaimo by people approaching and feeding the feral rabbits and spreading it to other rabbits in the area. Being in the direct vicinity of loose rabbits is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRACTICE AT THIS TIME! The virus is spread on shoes, tires, clothing, etc.. The rabbits are enjoying their spring grass, it’s rich in protein and it’s sweet, they honestly don’t need to be fed anything else and they’re not going to be overly interested in treats, anyway. Please stay away from them! Thank you!

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).
