Our Bunny Orphans
If you are interested in Adopting or Fostering any of our bunny orphans, please review the information on our Adoption/Fostering page and then complete the required application form. We can also arrange bunny dates to find the right companion for your desexed bunny, or we can bond two orphans for you so that they have a bunny companion when they go to their new homes. Some of our bunnies are also VIB bunnies.
If you do not find a suitable bunny on our site please also check AAPS, Animal Aid, Lort Smith and RSPCA. The reality is that many young, affectionate bunnies are killed in shelters across the country if not rehomed.

NAME: Darwin DESCRIPTION: Darwin was a bunny that suffered from shameful neglect at the hands of his previous owners. His rescuers eventually persuaded them to surrender him so that his health and emotional needs could be addressed. He lived caged in a small space for five year and it is a miracle that he has survived. He looked very sad and depressed when he came to us and sat hunched in his space. His health issues have since been addressed and he is slowly exploring his new world. He needs a loving, peaceful home with experienced owners who are patient and caring.

Prior to desexing she was territorial and a worrier but has settled down a lot since desexing. She comes up for a pat and is becoming now very confident. She seems to enjoy company. She would make an ideal free range house bunny as she is very clean with her toilet and enjoys sitting around and receiving pats from the family. She also seems to like cats.

NAME: Hugo & Ellie
STATUS: desexed, vaccinated, microchipped HOUSING OPTIONS: These bunnies need a secure courtyard or garden for them to explore during the day as well as a large open hutch arrangement within a building such as a garden shed, garage or enclosed verandah. Alternatively a child's cubby house that has been insulated or a laundry as their safe space would make these bunnies very happy. All housing must be protected from the heat and cold and from predators and mosquitoes. Any outdoor housing should be within a sturdy building to protect the bunnies from predator attack. The bunnies should be brought inside in extreme weather conditions, heat, cold, wind, thunder. |
