Rabbit Runaway Orphanage Adoption Centres

Our first adoption centre has opened at Pet Barn Plenty Valley and our second adoption centre will open in early 2012 at Pet Barn Fountain Gate.

Rani is a himalayan dwarf and our first bunny to be adopted through our new adoption centre at Plenty Valley. She will go to her new home at Christmas 2011.

Rabbit Runaway Orphanage Information Days

Our relationship with the Pet Barn stores has included information days, affording us a wonderful opportunity to talk to potential pet owners about appropriate rabbit care prior to purchase.

When Bunny Needs a Vet

 

If you find a bunny...

1. If you can easily catch the bunny, secure the bunny in a laundry or shed with fresh grass, hay and water. If you do not have hay then some grass, pellets and salad greens (no iceberg lettuce, cabbage or cauliflower though) will suffice for a day or so. The bunny must eat constantly or it can die.

2. Leave a note in your neighbors letter boxes or door knock to see if they have lost their bunny. Do not give a description of the bunny but wait for the owner to describe it to ensure they are really the owner.

3. Take the bunny to a vet to see if it is microchipped, then contact your local shelter - your council will be able to provide the location of your shelter. Check what will happen to the bunny if left at the shelter as some shelters will euthanaise and not keep and rehome the bunny.

4. If you cannot catch the bunny call your council or the RSPCA. If they cannot assist you, please call Rabbit Run-Away Orphanage for assistance.

5. While waiting for assistance, encourage the bunny to visit the same area by leaving water, pellets and fruit, vegetables in the same spot each day, as this will make it easier to catch.
