| RABBIT STORIES |
| The following stories are true stories that have happened to bunnies. Good things and bad, mostly due to nature and people's ignorance and lack of respect for the animal. And a tribute for the "angels" out there who rescue them! CUDO'S to all of you for making a big difference and for caring! We do breed bunnies for shows and provide pets for loving homes. But we always offer to take back any of our bunnies we sell, if our buyer's circumstances change and they can't keep the bunny anymore. We don't think any less of the person who may return one to us. Things happen sometimes beyond our control, and at least that owner is doing the right thing by their bunny. That's what we care about the most! This is another reason too why alot of breeders (us included), DO NOT sell bunnies for an Easter gift, to prevent impulsive buys that may lead to homeless bunnies after the novelty wears off. |
| This is Oscar's story "We rescued Oscar from a shelter where he was brought after being found in a trash bin!! Cage thrown in and water bottle frozen! Please spread the word that bunnies (especially ones adopted for Easter) who are unwanted can find good homes if they are taken to a shelter." Jennie, MA Look how happy Oscar is now! *** Sometimes even breeders you buy a bunny from will kindly take back the bunny and rehome them for you if found healthy from a vet. |
| This poor bunny was found in someones dark basement with no food, no water and teeth severely overgrown! It was rescued and adopted and is enjoying a loving life with his new owner. Was vet checked, teeth cut down and found very lovable! |
| Another incidence I read while researching, was the case where 3 domestic rabbits,( not wanted anymore) were brought out into the wild and left. The cage door was opened, one was killed and the other 2 never left the cage and died from starvation. PLEASE: DO NOT RELEASE DOMESTICATED RABBITS INTO THE WILD!! Their life expectancy when released like this is only 3 days tops. There are too many predators out there, plus they are used to being fed regularly not scrounging for food! Either find a new home for the pet, or bring to a no kill shelter, so they have a chance at a good life! No one will think any less of you for surrendering a pet! |
| The Rabbit Haven Just read some of these stories about abused and injured rabbits being found and rescued! Some of the pics and stories are a bit graphic, but they warn you, if you don't want to see them. |
| Easter Bunny by Mary Brandolino In memory of all the bunnies we couldn't save. I remember Easter Sunday It was colorful and fun The new life that I'd begun In my new cage. I was just a little thing When they brought me from the store And they put me on the floor In my cage. They would take me out to play Love and pet me all the time Then at day's end I would climb In my cage. But as days and weeks went by I saw less of them it seemed Of their loving touch I dreamed In my cage. In the night outside their house I felt sad and so neglected Often scared and unprotected In my cage. In the dry or rainy weather Sometimes hotter sometimes colder I just sat there growing older In my cage. The cat and dog raced by me Playing with each other only While I sat there feeling lonely In my cage. Upon the fresh green grass Children skipped and laughed all day I could only watch them play From my cage. They used to take me out And let me scamper in the sun I no longer get to run In my cage. Once a cute and cuddly bunny Like a little ball of cotton Now I'm grown up and forgotten In my cage. I don't know what went wrong At the home I did inhabit I just grew to be a rabbit In my cage. But they've brought me to the pound I was once loved and enjoyed Now I wait to be destroyed In my cage. Help us spread the word! |
| This is a poem I found on this site I thought I'd share with everyone. Its sad but it happens! Make sure you can be committed to your bunny for all its life......love, daily quality time. If not then don't get one. 3 Bunnies Rescue |
| Bobby (15) and his mom just bought 3 baby bunnies from a petshop. In 1 week, 2 of these babies died! After listening to their story we find out the babies were only 5 weeks old, probably never weaned before being sold, and died of enteritis! Course the blame doesn't belong on the buyer, they didn't know any different! The 3rd baby is still alive but not looking good. LESSON: Never buy a bunny any less than 8 weeks old !!!!!!!!!! Generally, babies should be with mom for 5-6 weeks, then weaned for 3, then sold. |
