The Bluey & Alice Bunny Refuge Cockatoo, Victoria

The Bluey & Alice Bunny Refuge Cockatoo, Victoria We rehome unwanted bunnies after having them desexed, vaccinated, vet checked. We take in abandoned, neglected, or otherwise unwanted bunnies.
(1)

While at the refuge, our buns learn to trust humans again & eventually find their forever home. Often, rabbits are used purely for money making ventures & are not cared for properly. Many buns become unwanted pets because of their natural tendencies to spray, nip, & thump when they are scared. We at the rescue make every effort to rehabilitate the bunnies that stay with us through countless opport

unities for cuddles and routine care. Our intention is to have these buns desexed, vaccinated, and accustomed to being handled. We have other family pets on the property so the buns adapt to being around those various sights, sounds, & smells. Once they are ready for adoption, we seek out loving owners for these rehabilitated buns to choose. Our Adoption fee starts at $195 per bunny, which goes towards the cost of desexing & vaccination. Multiple buns reduce in cost. All of our bunnies are fully vaccinated & vet checked. If you have any questions, message us or call in.

Meet Brie & Cheddar, the two survivors of our last orphaned litter.
They look terribly bedraggled but mum isn’t here to keep them looking their best. They try, but we all know how well a toddler does their hair!

We have no idea what the other 3 crossed the rainbow bridge but we are doing everything in our power to keep these two going strong.

A massive thankyou to volunteer Hannah for taking them home to feed and nurture. I know she will hate to see them go, but go they must. Back to the rescue to get ready for a new family.

🐇 Looking for Summer Fosters! 🐇

As the holidays approach, we’re looking for compassionate foster homes for our bunnies over the summer break. Fostering provides a cozy environment and extra love for the buns while freeing up space at the refuge to help even more rabbits in need.

🐰 Important Information:

Foster bunnies must be kept indoors at all times.
If you have your own rabbits, foster buns must be kept completely separate to ensure safety and wellbeing for all.
If you’re local and have room in your heart (and home) to welcome a bunny guest this summer, we’d love to hear from you!

📧 Email us at: [email protected] to learn more about fostering.

Thank you for giving our buns the gift of love and care this season. 🐰💖

Please tell them breeding is not OK!
If they didn’t keep breeding they wouldn’t need to cull the poor deformed buns.
One comment e em states that they didn’t realise rabbits started as a food breed.
For gods sake they didn’t!
No animal “started” as hfood!

Although I show cute bunnies, this is not directed for pet market people. I know where food comes from and I’m happy to raise my own. It’s hard culling but it’s part of it. I’ve lost several followers this month, but gained a whole lot more. At my farm I know meat doesn’t just magically appear at ALDIs and I know how animals are raised in big corporations. I would 100 percent rather know how my animals are cared for and process myself. I do still buy meat also, but the more I can do for myself the better. Let’s please change the stigma that surrounds this topic. Education is a must 🖤

Today we had another call about orphans whose mum had passed away, likely from Calici, as she wasn't vaxed & was otherwise well.

This makes 9 babies to vaccinate, desex, microchip and feed until they are old enough to be adopted.

Any donations gratefully received as we will really struggle with funds.
They will never go without as my whole team pours their heart and soul into helping, but please help us help these bubbas.

So, you've got yourself a pair (or more) of bonded rabbits. Congratulations!

You're now part of a very exclusive (and slightly crazy) club.

The rules are simple:

*Keep them together.
If you separate, for even a short period, you may need to rebond which can be tricky.
No exceptions, not even for vet visits.
Always keep them together even if one needs to stay in, they are so much more secure with their bonded friend than alone.
Should the worst happen, the lone partner can say goodbye and understand what has just happened.
If the clinic says no, insist!
It’s all about the buns!!

*Food… don't get me started on food - scatter feeding is the only way to go with newly bonded buns & includes those newly adopted, until they settle in and sort their pecking order in their new home.
Yes, they'll still fight occasionally. But that's just part of the fun, right?
It's all worth it in the end, when you see your bunnies snuggled up together, living their best lives.

Buns in pairs and groups are fun. Hard work but oh so worth the effort!

If you are lucky enough to have adopted from us you will know of our support network so you will face that to help you through troubled times too.

Hello, this is a rather urgent post, we are seeking talented individuals to fill various roles at our animal refuge.
Can you help us fill these positions?

We will fold without this help. It really is serious

All roles must be performed onsite at the refuge.
Currently, our top priority is finding someone with I.T. expertise.
If you have the necessary skills and can spend time at the refuge each week, we urgently need your assistance.
Due to technical issues with our booking system, I have been forced to cancel adoption appointments and require hands-on training to resolve these issues.

We also need bunny loving souls to help hands on at the refuge during the following time slots.

Anywhere in the time slot would be wonderful. (Not the whole time period)

Monday: daytime 10-4
Tuesday: daytime 10-4
Wednesday: daytime 10-4
Thursday: daytime 10-4
Friday: afternoon: 4-7
Sunday: daytime 10-4

Cute babies for attention!

So, a little while ago we had a very generous soul, (who wishes to remain annonymous) donate the funds to purchase new cages. Our old ones served a purpose but they were handmade with what we could afford at the time.

We searched & liaised with the manufacturer for what seemed like months but now they are all put together & set up with the buns inside.

All with the help from the team at MTS Trucking.
Robbie had them delivered to his factory & then the boys (Robbie, Don & Dave) set to work putting them together.
They then loaded them up onto their utes & bought them up!

These cages can be up to 4 doors long, are so easy for there volunteers to access with a minimum of 2 doors per cage.

Inbuilt sneeze guards ensure the safety of the buns so all we are waiting on are the new hay feeders!

With Many thanks to Robbie, Dave, Don & Zoe from MTS Trucking, Murray, the best housemate anyone could ask for, Simon, whose gorgeous wife Chris volunteers here, Chris & Alex, my 2 of my most dedicated volleys & my mate Garry!
Thanks so much to all of you!

Please enjoy the photos of our journey!

In just three days, our newest additions are flourishing remarkably with twice daily feeding schedules. Regrettably, it signifies 7 more precious lives to vaccinate, desex and nurture until we discover forever homes!
