Two of the rabbit rescue bunnies in their new home with Katrina as house rabbits. They hang out on the back veranda during the day and rush to the door to be let inside when the family gets home in the afternoon after school. 

HARES IN NSW

You can listen to a short ABC radio segment on Hares and Rabbits in NSW. Behaviours of hares are compared to habits of rabbits for example hares live above ground and hide from predators whereas rabbits live underground and run into their burrows when predators approach. The hare runs faster than the leopard at around 72kph.  The top speed of a fox is identical. The greyhound is faster than a hare:(

Hares will die if you try to keep them in captivity except if they are born in captivity.

Very interesting radio segment for those who are interested in hares and rabbits.

This is why you should NEVER EVER let your unwanted rabbits go but should place them in a rabbit shelter

Netherlands Dwarf Rabbits for Adoption

We have 3 Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for adoption. Female and male. All Desexed and vaccinated. 

Problems in undesexed rabbits in season

Undesexed rabbits will come in and out of season. It is best to have your female rabbits desexed to save them this anguish. The sign of a female rabbit being on heat is a swollen red vulva.  A Desexed female rabbit will be a much calmer pet and not subject to unwanted litters that will be hard to find good homes for.  The cost of desexing a female rabbit ranges widely from vet to vet. Some vets charge around $160 while others charge up to $400.  Ask your vet to provide pain relief after surgery and take home an oral pain relief that can be administered by string to the mouth quite easily. Desexing is a painful procedure. It is actually a hysterectomy. After care for your Desexed female rabbit is important. Keep her warm and her area sterile to lessen the chance of infection. Ask your vet to use dissolving stitches.

RABBITS FOR ADOPTION

Today we are posting a bonded pair of rescue rabbits at The Rabbit Rescue Sanctuary in Rushforth NSW which is near Grafton in the Clarence Valley in the Northern Rivers area which covers Grafton, Lismore, Casino, Yamba, Maclean and other areas listed below.
INTRODUCING "KEVIN MILKSHAKE" and "SMOKEY"
KEVIN MILKSHAKE can hold his bunny ears in many different positions! See photos below.  He is a very small Dwarf Rabbit, a desexed male and is fully vaccinated, worm and mite free and has excellent teeth.  He is curious and very friendly and you can go right up to him and interact with him or pick him up.  He came to the Rabbit Rescue Sanctuary a few weeks ago after a lovely veterinarian brought him in.  KEVIN MILKSHAKE had been dropped off at her veterinary clinic to be put down.  She couldn't do that so she brought him to be rehomed.  If you are interested in adopting this dear little rabbit call or text Kim Cooney on 0416 062 947 with your name and location.
