Edmund

Edmund came to us yesterday. He was found as a stray and is very. very thin and has dental problems and related eye problems. He is having a GA dental today, so will hopefully feel a lot better afterwards.

This must be a record

Ten months since the last post! I am going to **try** to post once a week - don't hold your breath!
An awful lot has happened since the last post, it's the busiest the rescue has been, with an unprecedented number of stray rabbits, including very young babies.
Unfortunately Pipkin died in February of this year, from cancer. Her name will live on as the inspiriation behind the rescue.
We have a new website at http://www.pipkinrabbitrescue.org, and on there you will also find links to our Twitter page and Flickr.

Totally unbelievable...........

Well, yesterday was a bit hectic. We took two buns in - one was a stray found in a local cemetery and is a very sweet little rabbit. The other was just stopped from being chucked off the Wearmouth Bridge in a cat box, by a lady passing by, thank goodness she did. He is a lovely blue/grey dwarf lop. I can't believe someone was going to throw the poor bun into the river :0((( What on earth is wrong with people??? Surely the idiot could have just left the bun in the cat box somewhere like a shop or library where he would have been found quickly.........

An even longer overdue update!

It seems to be stray season at the moment. It is so cruel to abandon an animal at any time, but during firework season it seems even worse to me. This last week we have taken in three strays. We also have a rabbit and piggie holidaying with us at the moment.
We had a very sad time yesterday, when Amy died. She came to us as a very (fear induced, I think) aggressive rabbit with the worst teeth the vet had ever seen, and turned into the sweetest little bun who followed me round the garden, loved to come into the house and if I was busy in the kitchen liked nothing better than to have a good look in the fridge. She died yesterday afternoon. I still feel totally shocked as she had shown no signs whatsoever of being off colour at all. We know she was at least 5 and a half years old, but beyond that don't know how old she was. I found her in her hutch yesterday afternoon and just couldn't believe it. Amy is very much missed by us and the many friends she made with people in "her" garden.

Would I win a prize for the worst Blogger??

Sorry for such a long gap between posts! So much has changed here I'm not sure where to begin! The sad news is that Bigwig developed bladder cancer and had to be put to sleep as he was in pain.
Some buns have been homed and some buns have joined us and need their details putting on the website. At the moment we have 29 buns and 2 visitors who are staying here while they bond with each other - so far, so good on that front :0)
Bonny and Clyde have moved into the large run with Biscuit, Pipkin and Hazel and are all getting on brilliantly together. Quite often we look out and there is a big heap of 5 bunnies! The above photos are of Bonnie (on the bottom) and Clyde.

A long overdue update!!

Well it's been a while since we updated our blog! Lots of happenings - new buns in, and lovely new homes for buns who had been here quite a while. Archie & Ernie went to a fantastic new home.

We currently have 31 buns "in residence", one of whom is a very heavily pregnant lady!

This is a photo of Ernie when he was a baby.

Revel & Snowball get a new home

Today Revel and Snowball have gone to a lovely new home in Yorkshire. They have been together since they were babies, so we needed to find them a home where they would be together for the rest of their lives.
