Attention 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!

An update on poor baby Hoskins… for those who don’t remember, this is the baby lop found dumped in North Van with a broken leg, four broken ribs, and parasites.
He’s been on crate rest since mid-June the poor babe, trying to keep him as still as possible while he gained enough weight for surgery.
Today, we couldn’t wait any longer. And even though he was still too small for this surgery at just 1 kg, our vet made the call.
Thankfully, the little man pulled through. We were nervous that he’d need an amputation, but Dr. Rana was able to repair his leg with pins. That means eight more weeks of crate rest, with little to no activity for this wee bun.
He’s still far too small for his neuter, but is beginning to get hormonal. And with two more months of crate rest, it’s going to be really tough time for Hoskins.
We need to find a foster home for him where he can get as much attention as possible, where he can be hand-fed treats and food throughout the day and he can watch the goings on to keep his mind occupied.
If you work from home and would like to care for sweet Hoskins for the remainder of his crate rest, please reach out. We are desperately short for fosters right now and the shelter is full to the brim. There’s no way we can give him the attention he needs without help.
