Behavior Problems
If there's one thing we've learned in years of rescuing rabbits, it's this: most people looking to “get rid of” a rabbit are doing so because of what they consider to be behavior problems.
Please understand that if your rabbit is not spayed or neutered, it is completely normal for it to bite, spray urine, hump everything that moves, chew up your carpet and furniture, growl, grunt, refuse to litter train, lunge at you, smell bad, and more.
If your rabbit is doing one of these things, please reconsider before surrendering your bunny. Spaying or neutering may very well solve the problem. See our Spay and Neuter page, or contact us if you need help getting your bunny "fixed". |

Don't Let Go
Whatever you do, don't be tempted to "let go" of your bunny into the wild - this is a death sentence! Domestic rabbits have no means to defend themselves, and no ability to hide. They will be killed, most likely within 24-48 hours of your release.
So if this is an emergency, please call your local humane society to take your rabbit. |
Stray Rabbits
If you have found a stray rabbit, please put it in your bathtub w/ a towel as a easy-to-clean temporary solution. Give the bunny a bowl of water and if you can, plain rabbit pellets (sold at most pet stores). Understand that 99% of stray bunnies aren't really stray at all - some cruel person dumped them there to die on their own. Most likely, no one is looking for their lost bunny. Furthermore - no well cared for pet rabbit would have found a way to become stray - domestic rabbits belong INDOORS; not loose in a yard or in a hutch. If the bunny made it's way out into the world, it needs to be protected and brought to a shelter or rescue.
Then, contact us as soon as possible, and we will direct you. |
Surrendering Your Bunny
If you need to find a home for your bunny, please contact us.
Please understand we require a $45 donation for each rabbit surrendered, in order to cover the cost of spaying or neutering the rabbit. If this is not possible, please understand that we may not be able to take your bunny(s). Bunnies we take are kept indoors - and guaranteed a loving, forever, indoor home -we never euthanize pets for space, and we screen potential homes thoroughly.
We require no donation if your rabbit is already spayed or neutered, just proof from a vet that it |
