💙 Mr Big Needs Your Help 💙

To all intents and purposes, Mr Big was perfectly fine — eating, playing, and loving life — before what should’ve been a simple health check-up.
But that appointment uncovered something far more serious, and now this gorgeous boy needs life-changing surgery to save his life. 💔

👇 Read his story below and find out how you can help Mr Big get the care he deserves. 🐰💙

⸻

Mr Big, Biggie, Biggles — whatever you call him, this beautiful boy needs a little help right now.

When Mr Big came to us on the 13th of September, our visiting vet Dr Gloria Perkovic gave him a check-up. Everything seemed fine, but she noticed spurs on his back molars and booked him in for a simple spur removal.

Once under anaesthetic, things were far more serious than expected. Dr Gloria discovered a broken molar that had abscessed, and only part could safely be removed. We let him recover and kept him on antibiotics, hand-feeding Critical Care and hoping he’d start eating again.

But he didn’t bounce back like we expected.

X-rays then revealed a jaw bone abscess, plus two back teeth growing completely the wrong way — forward instead of up! 😢

Mr Big is now on 8 weeks of antibiotics and pain relief, but the surgery he needs is beyond Dr Gloria’s clinic’s capabilities.

The only option is a complex procedure at a specialist Bunny savvy clinic, where specialist orthopaedic surgeons will need to open both sides of his face, carefully move nerves, and remove the problem teeth. It’s delicate, difficult, and costly — but it’s his best chance because as a dental bun he deserves the best chance at as pain-free & happy a life as we can give him.

Despite all he’s going through, Mr Big still enjoys his garden time, hopping, doing zoomies and soaking up the sunshine. 🌿🐰 He truly deserves the chance to keep doing that.

If you’d like to help Mr Big get his surgery, please include his name with your donation so we can set it aside just for him.

Hi Bluey and Alice Family!

One of our Volunteers has offered us a pre-loved split system that is still in good working order,
This is in desperate need for summer as the one in the house is broken and we do not want buns suffering in the heat (or our volunteers!).
Would there be any generous Air Con Technicians in our network that would be in a position to help us with this installation?
The Volunteer can bring the split system they are donating to the refuge on Sunday 19 October and we would be grateful if it could be installed any time after then!

Please Share!

Thank you all so much!

So true.

Surrendering your bunny because they’re “not getting enough attention”?

That’s not responsible. That’s lame.

We get it - life gets busy. Jobs, kids, moves, new relationships.

But here’s the truth: your bunny doesn’t want a shelter. They don’t want strangers. They don’t want to sit in a cage, confused about why the only home they’ve ever known vanished. They want YOU.

If your rabbit isn’t getting enough time, alter your schedule. Wake up earlier. Put down the phone. Skip the extra Netflix episode.

Bunnies don’t need hours of constant interaction - they need consistency, care, and enrichment. Even 30 intentional minutes a day is worlds better than uprooting them.

We can’t say this enough: shelters are a last resort for emergency situations, not a convenient drop-off for when life gets “too busy.”

Every single rabbit we take in costs money, time, and space we don’t have. And every single rabbit is a living, feeling being who’s terrified when their life is ripped away.

Your bunny would rather stay with you than end up at a rescue. Please don’t make us their backup plan. Step up. Adjust. Do right by the animal who depends on you.

*** ON HOLD***
Meet Errol, a gentle rabbit who embodies quiet elegance and the wisdom of his senior years. He is a bit timid, appreciating the peaceful moments and loving companionship of a calm and nurturing environment. His soul speaks in hushed tones, and his presence brings a soothing warmth to any home.

Errol spends his days enjoying the simple things in life, whether it's nibbling on fresh vegetables or exploring a new corner of his living space.

He is seeking a special family that will offer him a sanctuary where peace and tranquility are cherished. With his serene presence and thoughtful nature, Errol would thrive in a calm household where he can enjoy the twilight of his years, bringing gentle joy and serene companionship to his new family.
