Pugsly & Pippin
This sweet English Spot/Dwarf mix, white and brown spotted, approx
4-5lbs, was surrendered to a CT ACO shelter, along with her mate
Pugsly (picture pending). Her former person had become very ill, and
could no longer provide for them. they had been at the shelter almost
2 months, before 3 Bunnies became aware of them. Seeing Pippin needed
medical attention, 3 Bunnies immediately offered help (the shelter had
taken the rabbits to a veterinarian).

Lil' Bit
May 7, 2009:
We are very sad to report that Lil' Bit, the runt from Betty Boops
second litter, despite our vet's best efforts, did not pull through.
The baby developed stasis and went down hill from there. Dr. Anita
thinks the toxins in the intestines were to much for him, and he just
became sicker. Very sad. The other babies are doing well.

Oompa & Loompa
May 5, 2009:
Today is a very sad day for 3 Bunnies - both Oompa and Loompa passed away
today. We tried our best to help them, but they both were not well, and
today went to the Rainbow Bridge. They join many other bunnies that we've lost,
but it always hurts just as much as if it were the first.

Bramble
August 2, 2008:
It is with deep sadness that we report Baby Bramble passed
away. She was spayed, and appeared to be doing fine, but later in the
evening, took a turn for the worst. Everything was done to try and
save her, but unfortunately she did not make it. The vet believes she
had a reaction to the anethesia. We will all miss her.
Pluto

Amelia
June 6, 2008:
We are very saddened to report that late last night,
Amelia Earhart (aka Queen Ava) suffered a
fatal heart attack. One of the original three "3 Bunnies" bunnies
has gone to the bridge without ever finding a forever home. Words
cannot express how we feel right now. Please click on the above
link to read her story. We love you, we miss you, Amelia.
Flower
November 15, 2007:
Flower literally "blossomed" in the short time she was with us, from
fearful and growling when we tried to pet her to loving and happy (but
still feisty!) She relished her freedom, exploring every nook and
cranny of our apartment, climbing all over our furniture. After only
a month of living a life every rabbit deserves, e cuniculi attacked
her brain. She went into stasis. Every test came back negative, and
despite medication, she grew more and more tired, was rapidly losing
control of her hind limbs, losing weight and though she bravely
struggled to get better, clearly suffering. We loved her as our own
and renamed her Miranda (meaning "she who must be admired"),
because four years of caged mistreatment and abuse never broke her
spirit, and because of her great outer beauty. Flower/Miranda, we
will always admire and never forget you. Your spirit will now roam
free forever.
Divine
November 11, 2007:
Recently 3 Bunnies took in a stray found in Ct. This BIG beautiful
white and black spotted New Zealand mix, we named Divine, was filthy
and had mites. We had her treated, an she was doing well. However it
was noticed she was taking a downward turn. Brought to the vet, xrays
revealed major lung problems, and sadly Divine did not make it.
Lois
July 4, 2007: It is with great sadness that we report that
Lois passed away from Stasis, or Ileus
GI Stasis (for owners and vets). Please read her story by clicking on her link.
We love you Lois, and we will miss you.
Blinkers
June 15, 2007:
It is with a heavy heart that we report that
Blinkers passed away early Friday (6/15/07) morning.
Blinkers became full blown
symptomatic E. cunniculi/Pasteurella. Her companion
Southpaw stayed by
her side, even in death. Southpaw is doing ok, though clearly misses
his Blinkers. We hope to find him a new mate.
Everyone who sponsored Blinkers helped to let her live a wonderful
life, and we thank you all.
Sylvie

Gerrianne
December, 2006:
It is with great sadness that we report that
Gerrianne is no longer with us.
Her former neglect was too much for her to recover from, and we tearfully had to say goodbye
to a wonderful soul who just didn't get what she deserved in this life.
Please visit her page to read her story, and please have a good thought for this gentle soul.
We love you and we'll miss you, Gerrianne.
Harmony
September 2, 2006:
It is with great sadness that we report that
Harmony is no
longer with us. She was not doing well, and has crossed over "The
Bridge". Banjo, is recovering well, and will be neutered ASAP. We
had seperated the two, when first taken in, due to being unaltered
male/female, and Harmony needing quiet/healing time. Harmony had
several issues and appeared to be older. Now she runs free to play and
binky, without any pain or suffering.
Bebe
May 4, 2006:
Bebe and Taylor are together again, at the Rainbow Bridge. Her suffering
is over, and she is reunited with the love of her life.
It's only fitting that you share your dedication, as you did your
lives. Bebe, you always looked out for Taylor, showing him the
way. You were his vision in his last years and his comfort and warmth
til the day he passed. You were a strong, plump little girl until you
too, could not hold on to life any longer. Your pain is over now and
we hope your last memories on earth were surrounded by those who loved
and truly cared for you like you always deserved.

Robere
We are very saddened to report that Robere passed away in his sleep
last night. He had been having some issues with stasis (the silent
killer) and he finally lost his battle with it. Please read up on this
health problem here:
GI Stasis (for owners)
and if you ever have to treat it, you may want to offer this article
to your vet so they have some very good information too:

Taylor
March 22, 2006:
It is with deep sadness we report that little precious Taylor has
passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Taylor will be missed. His companion,
Bebe, is doing ok, and is available for adoption. Bebe is a sweet,
gentle girl, with a streak of mischieve, who would love to find a
home. She is not ready to rebond, but perhaps with time, might like a
new friend. Please read Taylor's story
here.
Felicity
Despite our best efforts, sometimes we just can't find a loving home
for a bunny before they depart for the Rainbow Bridge. We do our
best, we give them the best care we can, we love them, and we try our
best to find loving homes for them. But sometimes, they just don't
get what they're looking for while they're here. So they leave, they
go to a much better place where they are welcomed by bunnies who knew
love and share it with them, until the day when we can reunite with
them and finally give them the loving forever home that we failed to
give them while they were here. We love you, Felicity, we miss you,
and we're sorry.
O'Hara
We are very saddened to say that despite our best efforts, we were
unable to help O'Hara find the loving home she so desperately
deserved before she left for the Rainbow Bridge.. She was very much
loved while in our care, and we miss her dearly now that she is
gone. She left this world surrounded by love, and she is happily
hopping about the meadows of the Bridge with the other bunnies who
have gone before her, and we will be joyous in our reunion with her
when our time comes. We love you, O'Hara, we miss you, and we're sorry.
Dutchess
August 11, 2005: We ended Dutchess's suffering this
afternoon. Xray showed things had gone from bad to worse. She is now
at peace across the Rainbow Bridge, and can help others that pass over
feel safe and loved. Farewell Sweet Dutchess.
Update: August 10, 2005: We are very saddened to say that
unforeseen complications arose during Dutchesses spay, and she is now
in a battle to survive. Our vet and 3 Bunnies is doing everything
possible to help her pull through. Please send your positive thoughts
and support to Dutchess
A stunning orange colored mini lop, 2yrs old,
6-6.5lbs.
Dutchess is so sweet and gentle. She adores face rubs and
kisses and does not mind being held. Dutchess will come right up to
you looking for attention, and also to see if she can assist you in
your daily routine (yes, you can learn to do things with a "mushy" bun
attached to your leg!)
What we know about her history is that she was taken from an
abusive situation by a boy in 4-H (who decided to have rabbits as one
of his 4-H "projects", then wanted to move on to goats, so he needed
to get rid of the rabbits, UGH!!), sold to a family looking for
rabbits, then when they no longer had time for Dutchess, she came to be in 3
Bunnies care.
Dutchess is a wonderful bun, despite her history. When she looks
at you with those big soft eyes, and lets you kiss her little heart
shaped lips, you just melt!!
Snowflake
July 7, 2005:
Today 3 Bunnies was alerted, by a family that stepped
in to help, when nearby construction workers found a domestic white
rabbit. This gentle, beautiful white New Zealand, about 3 months old,
was found with her ankles bound by elastic shoestring and twist tie
wire. Her ankles were broken and her feet were dead from lack of blood
supply; her thighs dark purple and swollen. This was clearly a
deliberate torture.
The family removed the ties from her ankles, and made her
comfortable, while waiting for 3 Bunnies to pick her up. They named
her
Snowflake. We rushed her to the vet, where her suffering was
kindly ended. This precious girl never uttered a cry of pain.
Sadly Snowflake's life could not be saved, but she will suffer no
more. We light a candle for you Snowflake, and all those buns waiting
to be helped.
Please consider making a
donation
to 3 Bunnies, in honor/memory of Snowflake, so we can continue to help
rabbits in need.
Abby
Sometimes bunnies need extra care before being adopted out.
Abby was
surrendered at a shelter because her owner was going to college. Too
bad her owner did not think about her future life before not making a
committment to her pet. Abby is almost 3 years old. She was getting
depressed being at a shelter too long..a big bun in a small cage. Many
big buns get overlooked.
Abby was currently on a diet in foster care as she came into 3 Bunnies
very overweight. She is a sweet big girl who prefers a quiet
home. Abby has lost her excess weight. A great beautiful
girl.
Update: We are very sad to say Abby was doing well in foster
care all this time but suddenly took a turn for the worst. She
suddenly got very ill and died. Abby will be greatly missed by all
who knew her. Sometimes they just don't make it. Health, past living
conditions and the unexpected can take our precious rabbits from us.
Abby, we love you! We miss you!
