Thanks so much to Urban Pets for giving us space for our bunnies! We are housing our adoptables colony there (31 rabbits). They were in a barn in Delta, a concern because flies are capable of spreading the recent outbreak of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease. The virus was found on Annacis Island in Delta over five weeks ago. Thankfully it didn’t spread, however the virus is still very active in the Nanaimo area on Vancouver Island. It also may have spread to Comox an hour north of Nanaimo so there’s always a danger it will reappear here. We have a much better chance of keeping our bunnies safe at their store on Granville. People are welcome to drop by and visit, although they’ll only be able to say hi to the bunnies through a window, the virus can also be tracked on shoes and clothing. Urban Pets are new to the building. It used to be occupied by a pretty bad pet store selling live animals, which they subsequently abandoned there. The Urban Pets people have come in with an adoption-friendly plan, and they won’t be carrying live animals in future unless they are under the auspices of a rescue. Our rabbits will likely be up for adoption at that location but only after the rabbit virus is no longer a threat. The store used to be a garden centre so we’re hoping to be able to build an enclosure and move more of our rabbits to their awesome back area. Please support this store, and please come to our Easter Bunny Fest there on April 1st!

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.

First there was the watermelon bunny, now an avacado bunny. Poor guy ended up being put into the wrong colony at Kindred and of course the other bunnies didn’t like that! He needed two injury sites repaired and he chewed the stitches on one, so it’s an avacado for the block! Thanks to Candy for fostering and transporting. ❤️
