We desperately need a fosterer or two to join our team. If you can help please get in touch touch 💚

🚨 RABBIT FOSTERERS NEEDED🚨

Fluffy Butts Rescue is on the lookout for kind-hearted fosterers to open their homes (and hearts) to our bunnies while they wait for their forever home.

What we need
⚫️You live within commutable distance of our main vets in Leek
⚫️ You can commit to fostering for at least a couple of months (we do also shorter term fosters for emergencies or holiday cover )
⚫️ You have a separate indoor room for setting up a rabbit-safe space (unfortunately we can’t supply outdoor set-ups)
What we’ll provide
⚫️ Food, hay, enrichment, and full veterinary support
⚫️ 24/7 advice and check-ins from our rescue team
⚫️ A community of fellow rabbit lovers to share tips and stories

No experience? No problem-if you have the space and the love, we’ll guide you every hop of the way. 🐇💕

Ready to become a bunny hero? Send us a DM or email for more info.

Let’s give these fluffballs the safe, loving interim homes they deserve!

🐰 Happy Fluffy Butts Friday 🐰

Today’s fluffy butt is Ralf 💚

Ralf and all of us at Fluffy Butts Rescue would like to thank everyone for the generous donations made towards his illness.

Ralf has been diagnosed with a heart condition which means that he will be on medication for life, it was noticed that something was severely wrong when he started mouth breathing and had no interest in food.
He started to become dehydrated and tests showed that his blood had become thick which was causing stress to the lungs and heart. It was also noticed by our vet that he had heart arrhythmia, after various X-rays, a scan and tests, treatment was started straight away to try and stabilise the issues that he was experiencing.

He’s currently doing well and will be back at the exotic vets for a check up on the 7th September.

💚 we want to say a heartfelt Thank You 💚

Over the past few weeks, we have been overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity, and compassion shown by this community. We want to say a truly heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, attended events, and reached out with support.

Because of you, Fluffy Butts Rescue is in a much better position than we were at the start of this crisis. Your donations have given us breathing room, stability, and hope. We are not out of the woods yet (our situation is still serious, and we have a long road ahead) but your support has genuinely helped keep our rescue standing for the next few weeks.

Every pound donated goes directly to the animals.
Every share helps us reach someone new.
Every act of kindness reminds us why this rescue exists.

We also have several fundraising events planned over the coming months, and we would love to see you there. Your presence, your support, and your voices make a huge difference - and these events will play a vital role in keeping our doors open and protecting vulnerable rabbits who need us.

Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for believing in our mission.
Thank you for helping us fight for the animals who cannot fight for themselves.

💚

This is an extremely difficult post to write but with great sadness we have to inform you that sanctuary bunny Ophelia passed away on 5/8/26, she will be greatly missed by all of us at the rescue, especially her husbun Ralf and her foster mum Sally. Ophelia has been sick on many occasions and has always pulled through but on this occasion it was just too much for her tiny body.

Ophelia was a beautiful bunny who we took in from a hoarding case and was initially not expected to survive due to issues we encountered with her health but she remained with us for around 2 1/2 years, she was grumpy, sassy, loving, gentle, had everything on her own terms and we will miss her greatly.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Leek Veterinary Clinic for the support that you have given us with Ophelia.

Binky free sweet princess 🌈

Rabbits can quickly become seriously ill in hot weather, so it's important to know the signs of heatstroke. ☀️🐰

Watch out for:
🐰 Panting or rapid breathing
🐰 Weakness or confusion
🐰 Drooling or wetness around the nose and mouth
🐰 Lying stretched out and unresponsive

If you notice any of these signs, contact a rabbit-savvy vet immediately.
