Shelters In Crisis!!
Shelters across the country are in crisis right now, overloaded with unwanted rabbits who are in danger of being euthanized. Blame it on Easter "impulse purchases" or simply the amazing reproductive capabilities of rabbits, but once again this year, If you can find room in your home, please consider helping your local shelter or rescue by adopting or fostering a bunny in need - you'll be saving a life. Literally.


Easter And Bunnies Don't Mix

Please Don't Give Pets As Gifts!!
Shelters and rescues are inundated with animals that were given as gifts to people who didn't really want them and don't know how to take care of them. They expect this year to be no different, beginning on the day after Christmas. Please don't give a live animal as a gift - give a stuffed plush toy instead, or consider making a donation to a rescue or shelter in someone's name as a gift. Just please don't give a live animal as a gift - it requires a lifelong commitment to the pet, and too often they get shortchanged. Thanks!!

When an emergency happens, it's too late to prepare for it

I NEED AN EMERGENCY ROOM NOW!!!
Note: ALWAYS call an emergency room ahead for after-hours care to make sure there is a rabbit-savvy vet there or ready to meet you there before going anywhere. As a last resort, and in some cases this may be your only option - make sure there is a rabbit-savvy vet that can help the non-rabbit-savvy vets over the phone to treat your bunny.
Is it life-threatening?
How do I choose a vet?
How can I tell if my bunny is sick?


Rabbits require specialized care, and you will need to find a qualified exotics vet to take care of most of your rabbits medical needs. Vets that handle cats and dogs often can not administer the right care for a rabbit. It is better to find a vet before you need one. Please read this page if you've never had to find a rabbit-savvy vet.

Note: Many people have success is using Bach's Rescue Remedy to help reduce the stress of vet visits on their pets. Some people swear by it for themselves, too!!

The following is a list of rabbit-savvy vets in the New England area who have been recommended by members of 3 Bunnies and affiliated organizations. This is not a comprehensive list, but it is the best we can do while honoring our commitment to only recommend vets we know personally.

With reference to requests to modify our "vets.htm" page to directly add vets or indirectly add vets via third-party referrals - You may submit a new vet listing request to this address: webmaster@3bunnies.org. Please be advised that if we do not have any "internal" (word-of-mouth) references to you, we will in fact contact and likely seek to determine, via phone interview and/or face-to-face meeting, directly from the exotic vet themselves as to whether we wish to list them. Our vets page is a painstakingly (literally) compiled list of vets that 3bunnies members recommend, and no one else. Blindly adding vets to these pages based on random requests defeats this concept. Recommendations for additions to this page are restricted to those that reach us from people we know and trust with regard to exotics vets.
