Lilibun looking for a new home - Big News! Lilibun is Adopted! Congratulations Tristy!

You can see our newest arrival at The Rabbit Sanctuary on The Pet Directory website in their new Pet Classifieds. 

Click here to view photos and description.  She was found on a vet's doorstep in the early hours of a cold morning. The vet rang The Rabbit Sanctuary and we rescued her.

One or Two Rabbits?

Thinking of buying or adopting a rabbit?  If you can't spend most of your day and night with the rabbit then get two!  Rabbits love company.  Having two will not stop them loving you just as much as if they were an 'only rabbit'.   Care needs to be taken when introducing two rabbits for the first time.  The Rabbit Sanctuary can pair up your two rabbits of choice before you take them home.

The Perfect Rabbit Water Dish

This stone dish is perfect for rabbits for either water or food but especially for water because it won't tip over. This gives you certainty that your rabbit won't be without water.  Change your rabbit's water twice daily as they love fresh clean water. Wipe out the dish with a rag or sponge, rinse and refill. Keep the water in the shade or it will get too warm.

Rabbits love to lap water.  They also love to put their paws into the water then wash their face.  Water bottles are good but they also need a dish of water. To buy visit www.onlinepetwarehouse.com.au  

Here is a direct link to the dish:  Masterpet Stone Rabbit Dish

Huge extension to the Big Rabbit Run happening

We are very excited here at The Rabbit Sanctuary because we are in the process of building a huge extension onto the Big Rabbit Run!  The rabbits will have even more room to run and dig! 

Thank you for the support!

We would like to thank Donna from Sophies Choice Pet Treats for their support for The Rabbit Sanctuary.
Sophie's Choice dog treats are the handmade, healthy alternative to processed commercial dog biscuits. This is a link to their website so please buy some to help them help animals:
http://www.sophieschoice.com.au

They also support pound dogs in need of a home at http://www.sophies-choice.com/sophieschoices.html  Those dogs are on death row and so if you can take one into your family please do.

Pet Rabbits

If you have pet rabbits or are considering adopting some, please take them to the vet to be desexed.  This way they won't create up to 9 or 10 babies each month and you won't have to worry about what to do with all those rabbits.  Being desexed makes your pet rabbit much quieter and happier to sit still and be petted.  They are less stressed so they are healthier.

Rabbits getting along together

Rabbits don't usually get along together on meeting.  They may bite each other quite severely.

It is best to introduce rabbits to each other slowly, over time.  Two separate areas next to each other can help.

Rabbits under Sydney Harbour Bridge being rescued!

A delightful follow up to this story about the abandoned pet rabbits under the Sydney Harbour Bridge with two wonderful girls trying to gain the attention and compassion of authorities to their plight.  They succeeded!

Two groups working together to save these bunnies!  This is such a big step forward for Australia.  This responsible approach to the problem of the Sydney rabbits in Dawes Point Park is such a better solution than the previous one of poisoning the bunnies. 

Poisoning teaches our children not to respect life whereas this wonderful team effort between the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and the Sydney University Veterinary Teaching Hospital is giving our children and society a very positive message about animal welfare and the value of life. 

By treating these rabbits with respect and care their status is immediately given a boost in our culture.  There value is raised.  Congratulations to the team!  Thank you to Saul and Diane for getting this to happen!

It is Rabbit Awareness Week!

Please help us to raise awareness for rabbits.  Rabbits need a big lift in their status.  They make a wonderful pet and can be just as important as a dog to their owners.  Rabbits can live inside and use a litter tray just like a cat.  They don't kill birds though!  They don't bark like a dog so make a great pet for apartment dwellers.  They do need more than a cage though.  A playpen is a great way to set up your rabbit in the house.  Playpen, litter tray, food dish, water dish, hidey hole like a box or special igloo etc... right in the family room so they can be petted and interact constantly with the family.  No smell if you change the litter tray often.
