And to think all these bunnies were living in a house before they were surrendered to the Humane Society.

Malibu (left) is a young adult, spayed female Dwarf cross.
Lady Marmalade (right), is a young adult, spayed female with Harlequin-Holland Lop cross.

I don't remember seeing a couple of those ones! But it was hard to see some in the back of their cages and I'm assuming a few might have been recovering from surgery. Plus I was also trying to focus on the ones in pairs so that I had an idea of how they reacted with other bunnies.

Great pictures Stan. I am amazed that you haven't brought anything home yet! I can't seem to manage that one, lol.

 

[MyBabyBunnies]

Oh and I should say Lady Marmalade was a very close second to my Chase. When I held her she was so calm and well behaved!

Wow this is just heartbreaking.

Bless you everyone for donating supplies or funds. Im sure every little bit helps.

We got some money from the HRS when we had those Chenoa bunnies we were rescuing, it helped a little. There are a lot of grants out there (especially for large scale rescues) but so many shelters are too overwhelmed to do the research/apply.

I'll be praying these bunnies find permanent homes- and fast. I wonder how long they have..

The EHS has committed to keeping them all until they are rehomed. There is no time limit as long as they are healthy and not aggressive. Apparently in the last few months the EHS has officially become a no-kill shelter which I just found out when I was there the other day.

Yes it was dark in the back of some of the cages, and you get a reflection off the stainless steel walls. Still, I managed to stick my camera and flash into the cages and take a picture.

I know it is hard to resist all the cute bunnies, but I wouldn't know which one I would want.I would have to go home and think which oneneeds the most help and the most unadoptable one. I wouldn't want a baby either. This weekend, Cocoa is going to be staying with us in May, so I didn't want to do anything yet. Secretly, Flemish Giants is my dream rabbit, even though I haven't seen one in person. I hear a Flemish Giant won BIS at Calgary.

Here is Morning Glory, a male adult, harlequin cross.

Pet_Bunny, Morning Glory was the bunny I actually wanted. He reminds me so much of Spice it's crazy. He has the same gentle look to his big brown eyes. Unfortunately when we got him into the interview room he was rather territorial so I had to turn him down. The irony of it is he reminded me of a much younger Spice (very curious and territorial), so he was really hard to put back in his cage.

But when I went in I allowed myself to pick 5 and only 5 that I wanted to look at and they all had to be adults. I managed to pick 5 very sweet rabbits, the lady commented that I must be the rabbit whisperer orjust have an eye for the calm bunniesbecause they were all so calm and well behaved with me, lol.

I think I would have left with all 5 of them had I been able to, lol.

You are a Flemish fan also?!!!! I can't wait to get a bonded pair some day!!!! I even told my sister about wanting the largest bunnies possible many years back. She totally understood the need for such a big breed. Ahhh...big beautiful bun-buns that can be hugged and smooched.... Can you imagine a 15-20 pound rabbit doing a binkie?! Makes me excited with anticipation just thinking about them! :bunnydance:

Chase (Paprika) is the luckiest bunny from the shelter going home with you.
Of course Morning Glory didn't want to go back into his cage, he wanted to go home with you too.

This rabbit looks like a smaller Spice.
She is Baloo, a female spayed doe with Harlequin markings.

 

[MsBinky]

The public responded in a big way. Everyone in town is talking about it. Just hope the donations don't drop after this first wave of goodwill.

Every nook and cranny is fill with supplies.

That is so sad, she was amazingly friendly and calm. She would have made someone a really sweet pet.

Just got back from my weekly volunteer visit. I got booted out early as they needed the bunny cuddling room for dog behaviour tests but i still got to visit with 2 bunnies.



The first guy I took out was a little grey and white harlequin named Arbutus. He was a nice little bun and like sitting and being pet. But man was he impossible to get back in the box to take back to his cage. He flipped out and started running around and skidding into the walls. At this point all I had done was stood up and moved my chair, I hadn't even tried to catch him. I finally guided him back into the box and then he peed all over his box and down my leg Poor little guy was really worked up. He was so sweet though. Sat in my lap for a good 10 mins before I let him run around. A dog even came through the room and he wasn't scared of it. I guess he really didn't want to go back to his cage.

The second bunny was Cinnamon. "He"(I can't remember is it was a boy or girl) was so cute. He was a little orange bun and was quite adventurous. He didn't want to sit long for petting and quickly wanted down to explore. So i put him down and he hopped all around. He even hopped up onto the cat scratching post thingy they have in the bunny room. Thankfully he didn't freak out when I tried to catch him. He did give me a good run around the room though. I only had about 20 mins with Cinnamon as then the behaviour people came.

Here is a crappy pic I snapped of Cinnamon with my camera phone

I was impressed at how many bunnies have already gone. There is no more temp. cages setup in the hall like there was last week. Now its just down to the actual kennels(in the bunny room, by the front desk and the "auditorium").

 

[Pet_Bunny]

That's great you could volunteer. The poor bunnies must be getting cagestir-crazy for sitting in them for so long. No wonder they want their freedom and don't want to return to their cages. How many bunnies do you get to take out during your time? Is it 2 bunnies at 1 hour each? Do you get to choose which bunny to cuddle? Is the bunny room the same room they use for adoptions? Do you get to handle the really young bunnies too?

Here is Safara. She is 3 months old, a rabbit cross.
