💜🐰 FOR ADOPTION - Lilylou - Vaccinated and Neutered - please share 🐰💙💜 *rehoming fee required

Lilylou is a large mix breed Lionhead x Lop, DOB:17/05/2021.
Lilylou is up to date with her vaccinations until November 2024 and was spayed just over 2 years ago. (I've seen evidence of both soay and vaccination)

🐰Lilylou is a strong minded girl who knoes what she wants.
🐰 Her temperament is that she can be feisty but also very cuddly, pick her up and she will fall asleep while you cuddle her.
🐰 Lilylou has never had a companion which is sad so her having a companion is IMPORTANT.
🐰She can live indoors or outdoors and has been litter trained
🐰 Lilylou diet does need to change and improve. She will need to be moved over onto Burgess or science selective form her current food which is bad.
🐰Her diet of fresh herbs/veggies (basil,dill,thyme,parsley black kale)treats carrot sticks)and wooden toys (willow rings,bamboo dishes,willow rings,fresh Timothy long strand hay+numerous bits

New home MUST meet RWAF standards in housing and care for rabbits. RWAF housing 3m x 2m x 1m or 10ft by 6ft. This will be checked.

If you’d like to offer Lilylou a home, please get in touch via the message button on this page :)

Thanks 💜

Educational post

If you see a rabbit loose please please knock the near by doors while still having the rabbit insight to see if its theirs or ask for help because you cannot stay with the rabbit because you are working or go to work. Sharing on social media groups also works but sometimes isn't always approved as quickly as it's needed to be, if sharing in a group always put location this helps with locating. We never like dogs or cats going missing, being injured etc so please don't allow it for a rabbit.
That being said I have now helped 37 rabbits this year so far. Rabbits are one of the most neglected pets in the UK with 100,000+ rabbits ending up in rescues every year and things need to change. Rabbits are prey animals so pet rabbits wondering the streets causes alot of stress and they will hide making it hard to find the beloved pet for some. Rabbits can also travel miles a day especially once in open greenery.
Also please NEVER pick up or grab a rabbit by its ears this is dangerous and unethical. Causing unnecessary pain and discomfort and can cause death as they will kick off and the way they can swing their body and hind legs can cause a break to the neck.

I'm not saying any of this for fun but to educate.

⚠️ TOXIC TREATS & TOYS ⚠️

Understanding the basics of rabbit care include knowing what things are extremely harmful or toxic to your rabbits. Sadly this includes what is sold in the shops labelled for "rabbits".

These 3 items some of the MOST harmful products still sold labelled for rabbits (mainly because rabbits are grouped in the "small furry" category when they have very different digestive needs to other small mammals):
🌽 CORN - whole dried corn cannot be digested by rabbits and can cause a blockage. Corn should not be part of your rabbits diet, but particularly dried corn which is the most harmful.
🪵 GNAW BLOCKS - these colourful gnaw blocks/shapes sold are made from compressed wood shavings and flavoured to make appealing to chew on. Sadly these expand in the gut causing fatal impactions. Stick to natural chews instead, far safer!
🪨 SALT/MINERAL LICKS/STONES - causing dehydration which in turn causes GI stasis in addition to adding stress on the kidneys. As a species prone to bladder stones and calcium sludge, these are a recipe for disaster.

Learn more about biologically appropriate toys, treats and supplements on our website under the "rabbit care" section. Throw any of these toxic items away and do not give them to your rabbits. 🚫

A lot goes into creating the ideal home for rabbits 🐇

Their environment has a huge impact on their health and wellbeing, so it's really important to make sure their home provides for all of their complex needs 🏡

Rabbits can live indoors or outdoors, but a hutch is not enough. Your rabbits’ living space should be as big as possible. 10ft x 6ft x 3ft/3m x 2m x 1m is the absolute minimum recommended space for a pair of rabbits.

Remember, the better their living space, the happier they’ll be!

Here’s everything you need to know: http://pdsa.me/9qqc

[Visual description: An infographic explaining the ideal home for your rabbits. This includes; A large, enclosed outdoor area they can use at all times, a neutered companion, one water bowl per rabbit, a litter tray, toys for entertainment, constant access to hay, a shaded area, a large shelter and dry, clean bedding that is comfortable and absorbent.]

🔴 CAT FOSTERS NEEDED - Norwich/Norfolk area 🔴

It’s a very challenging time for rescues over the country; there are record numbers of surrender requests of all types of animals and simply not enough spaces available.

We are looking for home based cat fosters who are available immediately.

We have one emergency cat we need to place as soon as possible. She can live with other cats and older children.

We provide appropriate food, flea and worm treatments, as well as litter and crate (if needed) for the duration of the cats stay with you.

You will ideally have access to a car for any planned vet appointments; vaccinations, neutering etc, as and when needed. We use two vet practises; one in Costessey and the other in Rackheath.

We are here to support you in your fostering journey with us and will always be on hand to offer any assistance and provide new fosters with a short handbook on completion of the application process.

If you’d like to foster for us, please contact us by the message feature on this page or to [email protected]

An application form and homecheck are required.

Mann thanks 💜

Donation done ✅ Can you support this wonderful rescue with a small donation?

🚨 We have just five days to raise £1000 and we’re 31% of the way there - that’s £310/1000.

Thank you so much to those who’ve donated so far. If you’re in a position to help us - and by us I mean Benoit and Winston, a pair of lops suffering breed related issues - please send what you feel able:

A study in 1999, showed that largely hutch-bound rabbits had significantly lower Vitamin D levels than rabbits with ad-lib access to a run.

There has been some discussion about beetroot—it’s the leaves that are the concern due to their high oxalate content.

Yup!

Sad reality 😥

Rescue centres are NOT your immediate solution for your choices. Your pets are YOUR responsibility.

I receive on average 3 messages per day that are surrender requests. I also ask the same questions to each message in order to access the situation and the urgency.

90% of the time it’s “kids lost interest”, “I’m moving house” or “I don’t have the time for them. And almost every time, these rabbits are not neutered or vaccinated. Now instantly that is a £200-£250 cost for the rescue for neutering and vaccinations alone!

A cost that shouldn’t be a rescues responsibility if these people were responsible pet owners.

Yes it’s our choice to run a rescue, however that title does not mean that we have an unlimited amount of space or money.

Rescues do not deserve the abuse we receive when we cannot immediately accommodate YOUR pet. Be kind!
