Straight facts 😌☝🏼

These two buns are here to tell you that they don’t have jobs and could use $5 to help them and their friends if you can spare it 🤑

Cinder is being spayed today and we took in new guy Barley yesterday from our friends at Kendall County ACC. Fortunately they neutered him already(THANK YOU KCACC!!!!) but we still have to cover intake exam, f***l, deworming and vaccines. As usual, he watched his fancy breed neighbors get adopted while he sat at the shelter with no interest bc he’s not a smushface.

Cinder’s spay will run us about $400 today and we’ve already spend about $1000 between vets this week prior to dropping her off 💸💸💸

Cinder will be ready to meet potential bunny friends in 2 months and Barley will be ready in about a month.

Please send us a fiver so we can continue helping new and sanctuary buns!

As schools get ready to go back this week, we’re asking everyone to think twice before bringing rabbits into the classroom. 🐰

Rabbits might look like the perfect school pet, but a busy classroom can be a stressful and frightening environment for a prey animal. They need space, companionship, quiet places to hide, and plenty of time to settle into their surroundings.

Regular handling by different children can also be unsettling, and caring for a rabbit properly takes commitment every day, including weekends and school holidays.

There are so many wonderful ways for children to learn about rabbits without keeping one in the classroom.

This school year, help us and put rabbit welfare first. 💜

Feel free to share.

I have to share the very sad news that everyone’s favorite geriatric pair had to be helped over the bridge yesterday.

Emmy’s tiny 14 year old body has been through so much already and when I got home from the rummage sale on Saturday I found that she had somehow broken her “good” leg. Good in quotes because her mobility in general had been on a steady decline since she broke the other leg in December. I think her ancient bones were just made of dust at this point. Some vets describe rabbit skeletons as “bird like” and I certainly agree. This new injury completely immobilized her which was a problem because she’s also been dealing with urinary stones. Being unable to ambulate was going to make her stones problem much worse/more painful for her.

Emmy & Hank were a deeply bonded pair who relied heavily on one another all day every day. At 13 years old, Hank’s health had been fading lately as well. Accompanying Emma for a few acupuncture appts was stressful and sent him into an EC flare which he mostly recovered from but I would often find him stuck on his side and have to help him up throughout the day.

I felt he would suffer a lot not having his lady with him and his health was not stable enough to bond him with anyone else so I had to make the agonizing decision to let them pass together. I don’t take these decisions lightly at all, in fact I would prefer everyone be able to pass peacefully at home but it’s also my responsibility to prevent suffering for these guys. 6 losses in 6 months and I’m begging the universe for mercy at this point. 🏳️
