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!!

A wild baby bunny taken into a domestic situation, for whatever
reason including treatment of life-threatening injuries, has about a
one percent chance of survival. Wild animals are
equipped to survive on their own and in almost all cases they should
either be left alone, or if they really need help, a licensed
wildlife rehabilitator
or veterinarian should handle it. Most vets are not
licensed to treat wildlife, so you may need to call around to find a
vet that can help.
A mother rabbit will only tend to her nest a couple of times a day and
spend the rest of the day away from it, to prevent drawing predators
to the nest. If you find a nest that looks undisturbed and the mother
is nowhere in sight, that is her plan. She will be back within 24-48
hours maximum to check on and feed her babies.
If you have no other choice, or if you simply need to buy time, it may
help to provide it with some hay with some real fur as bedding (perhaps from brushing
your other bunnies). Real fur is especially comforting to orphaned
wildlife, and it gives them the sense that they are with their mother
and littermates. To keep it warm, you may also want to wrap the bunny
in a small towel (with the hay and fur inside).
The HSUS's Urban Wildlife Sanctuary Program (UWSP) provides individuals and communities the opportunity to assess and improve their property's usefulness as a wildlife habitat
