The love muffins on this page thank you for your support!
Your sponsorship funds and donations help pay for their high-quality food (timothy hay, pellets, and lots of fresh veggies), their litter, their hutches (all with exercise ramps and solid, not wire, flooring), and their medical costs (spaying, neutering, veterinary visits, and medicines). In one day alone, the bunnies at the Rabbitat go through a 50-pound bag of pellets, and without your help, these expenses are all out of pocket.
Sponsorship also makes possible continuing efforts at education and outreach.

Bunnies to Sponsor (more coming soon!)

Lily is an affectionate minilop who had been living alone for at least two years in a filthy outdoor hutch until rescued by a neighbor. She had no contact with the children she belonged to, no exercise, no hay or fresh greens, and, too often, no food or water. Although it is likely that she was dropped in the past, she feels safe enough to be held now and is blissfully bonded with Mr. Wally and Silly Pilly.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was 7-8 weeks old when I saw her under a metal box on someone's lawn. It was July and over 90 degrees in the sun, and I bought her for $50 to keep her from dying in the heat. She bonded immediately with a neutered dwarf bunny who fought with all my other bunnies, and they have been living together happily for two years. |

Mr. Mister is a 4-year-old lop dropped at the shelter two months after Easter. He and his mate were terrified of being held or leaving their cages, but they thrived when given their own space. Over the course of 6 months, Mr. Mister went completely blind, and he now lives happily in the barn with the "geriatrics," finding his way around safely and easily. |
 |
Mr. Wally is a 2-year-old minilop found hopping in the backwoods of rural Maine. He survived for a month before being caught and given to me. Mr. Wally runs to greet me every morning and loves to be held and bunny tranced. He prefers indoor living, and the sunporch where he spends most of his time would be clean if it were up to him. His girlfriends, Silly Pilly and Lily, are very messy roommates! |
 |
Silly Pilly is a gray and white minilop dropped at the local shelter with 8 other baby bunnies. She is adorable but very independent and very protective of the sunporch space she shares with Mr. Wally and Lily. Besides defending her territory, she loves to dig in her large cardboard box and spread hay all over the floor. She doesn't like me to catch her but loves to be petted for a long time once she is in my arms, especially with Mr. Wally.

Fawn is a 10-year-old minirex dropped at the shelter with her mate. For 3 months the shelter had had no luck treating her sinus problems, and it was unlikely that anyone would take an elderly pair of unspayed females. I brought them both home and treated Fawn successfully with natural yucca. Her mate was later adopted out to a very good home with another rabbit, and Fawn lives with my elderly bunnies in the barn. She is extremely sweet and outgoing and enjoys being held and snuggled. |

Mona spent her first 3 years in a tiny wire cage in the basement of a man who had bought a pair of Dutch bunnies for Easter. He ended up with babies, and I took 7 out of 9 of them. Each had toenails almost 2 inches long, and Mona sat and stared for several days in her new Rabbitat home until she realized she was free to move. Now she is a lively bunny who greets me every morning at the front gate, sitting up on her hind legs begging for treats and letting me pick her up. |

Thelma and Louise are two Flemish giants who lived in a fish tank for 3 years before being rescued in a blizzard. Both mother and daughter were grossly overweight and were unable to move their hind legs. They are both very loving and live with Keitel in their own large outdoor hutch in the Rabbitat. They have an outside space to run around in and are now in great physical shape.

Murphy is a blue-eyed blond I found at a roadside bunny seller's. He was in a hutch with his mates with no water, food, or hay in below-freezing weather; his owner was about to break Murphy's neck because he had an eye infection but gave him to me instead. Murphy's eye cleared up in about 4 days, and he lived in the house for almost a year before he started to chew the rugs. He lives happily outside in the Rabbitat with his two girlfriends from the shelter. |
A note from Quan...
People often ask me why I don't adopt out more of the bunnies from the Rabbitat, and the answer is simple: this is the best way I can know that these bunnies will be happy, free, safe, and healthy. Many of the Rabbitat bunnies have special needs or had been sitting in shelters NOT getting adopted because of behavior issues or old age; all of them had a bad time of it one way or another before they arrived here. After being rejected or abused by their previous owners, these bunnies are now enjoying a stable environment and are able to trust a human caretaker again.
Even though there are now more than 100 bunnies here at the Rabbitat, I know every one of them by name and personality, and I make sure that every bunny is in a bonded pair or small group. Some prefer living indoors, and some really like it better outside where they can dig in the earth and smell the fresh air. All have places to hide, the ability to keep warm or cool as the seasons change, abundant timothy hay and fresh vegetables, and loving, human attention. The bunnies in the large outdoor part of the Rabbitat all have their own hutches and are protected by the high predator-proof fence and motion-detection lights. No dogs, fisher cats, coyotes, or other animals have ever been allowed to frighten or injure any of the bunnies here.
The few bunnies who leave the Rabbitat are healthy and go to a home very similar to the one they have here, where I make sure they will have bunny companionship, adequate space for exercise, proper nutrition, responsible handling, and safe overall living conditions (proper temperature all year long, freedom from predators including dogs, etc.).
