Understanding the 5 key welfare needs of rabbits 🐇

Housing 🏠
A pair of rabbits require a minimum enclosure size of 3x2 meters (and 1 meter high) at ALL times. This is to allow them adequate space to roam and play and display their natural behaviours. Additional space is required per additional rabbit.

Health 🫀
Rabbits must be neutered when of age which is usually 4-6 months. Rabbits must be vaccinated annually against various VHD strains and myxomatosis.
A rabbit savvy, exotics vet is worth their weight in gold.

Behaviour 🐰
Rabbits must be able to exhibit natural behaviours, their environment should be made with this in mind. They need enrichment and stimulation.

Companionship 🫂💕
Rabbits require companions of their own kind. Rabbits speak their own language and need to be able to communicate with their own species.

Diet 🌿
Hay, hay, hay and more hay. Hay makes up the largest part of a rabbit’s diet and should be available to them 24/7. Forage and/or greenery should be offered as well as a small amount of pellets daily.

If you’re new to rabbits or are thinking of of starting your rabbit journey, visit rabbitwelfare.co.uk and get to know the basics 🙂

George’s eye condition is so bazar, the eye clinic in Hereford have offered to see him - free of charge. As a rescue, this is so welcomed!

We’ve battled George’s eye health from the moment he came to us and have so far received no solid solutions as to what we need to do with him. Reduced rates on surgical options have been discussed which is also incredibly helpful ❤️‍🩹

I genuinely feel quite deflated tonight after seeing some hurtful comments regarding rescues and their rehoming standards, but non the less we must move on and focus on the important things.

While we’d originally set up our justgiving for Lennie,
Today’s events mean we need to reach a much larger target, for many more bunnies 😓

Lennie’s teeth removal surgery is going ahead tomorrow (Saturday) but there are a few more surgeries needed for other bunnies!

Louie has had to have head X-rays due to his ongoing and extreme eye issues.

Sutton’s eye cannot be saved and though she’s just 12 weeks old, is having surgery tomorrow to remove it. This is such a big operation for a tiny little bun. Sutton and Sloane only have 1 functional eye between them, they came to us just 2 weeks ago in such a terrible state for 10 week old babies!

Our very own chaddesley wood Sophie had a very frightening incident Saturday night where she choked to the point I thought we’d lost her. Miraculously after minutes of attempting to dislodge the blockage, with force, she was finally breathing again, I haven’t cried hysterically like that in a long time.
Sophie’s front teeth are extremely uneven and no doubt added to the cause of her choking incident. These are being removed tomorrow.

Josephine has had another abcess crop up in the bottom of her mouth. Josie is a dental rabbit that has been dealt such an awful hand in life, initially having been rescued after being thrown in a bin. She’s faced multiple surgeries and each time comes back alive and kicking better than before. She’s on long term antibiotics since arriving with us in August 2024.

This is likely to cost in excess of £3,000 so literally any help, no matter how small, is incredibly appreciated ❤️‍🩹 I know we’re always asking and I’m sorry 😭😭

Our post yesterday did absolutely amazing and we had so many adoption applications and multiple buns have now been reserved 🎉
These guys are the buns who haven’t yet been reserved.
Liquorice is currently our longest staying bun in rescue 😔
Capri and Cole are our current longest staying pair 😔

All rabbits adopted from us are neutered and up to date with vaccinations
We rehome all over the UK
We also offer a bonding service
We don’t rehome rabbits to live alone due to companionship of their own kind being one of their welfare needs

If you’d like to offer any of these guys their forever home, please message us ❤️

We are looking for more transporters all around the UK to join our team. Our transport team currently consists of 82 people!! That is absolutely incredible and is such a huge help especially with how many runs we need covering regularly.
We are always looking to expand our transport team, if you’re able to help, please comment below which area/s you’re able to help cover and we can add you to the chat on messenger ❤️

(We could do with some more transporters in Essex, South West and Newcastle way)

Tom and Jerry are still looking for their furever home. Learn some more about them below in a write up from their foster mum, Lucy ❤️

These two adorable ginger bunnies are ready to hop into your heart and home! Tom and Jerry are a dynamic duo with playful personalities, looking for a loving family to call their own.

Tom, the more confident of the two, loves to explore and discover new things. He’s the first one to hop up to new faces, eager to say hello and soak up all the love. Tom’s curiosity knows no bounds, and he’ll keep you entertained with his adventurous spirit.

Jerry, though a little more reserved, is just as inquisitive as his brother. He takes his time to warm up to new situations but is never far behind Tom when it’s time to discover something new! Jerry’s gentle nature makes him the perfect companion to Tom’s more bold energy.

Together, they make the perfect pair – always ready for new adventures, and always there for each other. If you're looking for two sweet, curious bunnies to join your family, Tom and Jerry are the perfect match!

Adopt Tom and Jerry today and let the fun begin!

If you can offer these lads a home, please message us ❤️

Meatball is looking for a home! Learn some more about her below in a write up from her foster mum, Jody ❤️

Meatball is a lovely bunny that always comes over to the pen to say hello. She is friendly and usually accepts head rubs. She enjoys her hay, having forage and treats, and digging in her cardboard box. You will usually find her relaxing laying on top of her box or munching on hay! Owners will need to be aware she is a chewer and can be a little mischievous with this. All in all she would make a great addition to a new home.

If you would like to adopt meatball, please message us ❤️

🗣️ Let’s talk about ‘snuffles’

Snuffles is a term I see used regularly among the rabbit community. What is it? How do I know if my rabbit has ‘snuffles’?

In short, snuffles doesn’t exist. It’s a broad spectrum term used to discribe sneezing and/or nasal discharge in rabbits. Rabbits labeled as having ‘snuffles’ really means that no diagnostics have been performed to isolate the bacteria/cause and find out what antibiotics and other medical treatment need to be implemented.
Unfortunately, many vets will determine ‘snuffles’ and often prescribe baytril (also known as enrocare) in hopes it will clear up. If it does, that’s great!

In reality, the present bacteria absolutely cannot be determined without nasal swabs. You simply can’t know for a fact which antibiotics and medical methods will be affective if you do not know what it is you are treating. There can be other causes for this also, so it’s really important to diagnose why this is happening.

Our advice - if your rabbit is experiencing nasal discharge and/or sneezing episodes, consult your exotics vet for further and appropriate diagnostics.

Eddie is still looking for a home! Eddie is around a year old and is looking for an indoor home. Learn some more about him below in a write up from his foster mum, Charlotte

Eddie is the cutest, fluffiest rabbit you'll meet. He loves fuss and attention and also enjoys chilling out on the sofa, rug or hard floor! He is very sweet and likes to lick people to show his love. He's not a chewer and my cables are so far still intact. He would love to find another bun to bond with and will make someone a lovely pet.

If you’d like to adopt Eddie, please message us ❤️

Capri and Cole are the perfect couple, Cole is the first to greet you when I go into them, up at the door waiting for breakfast, both get very excited when food is involved! Capri will come out shortly after but with time I’m sure she will be at the door waiting for breakfast soon enough! 🐰

Lovely Lydia is still looking for a home!
Learn some more about her below in a write up from her foster mum, Adele

Lydia is quite timid and shy, she spends alot of the time hidden in her box. However she is very food motivated and will come out for treats and loves to solve a puzzle for treats. Everytime you come in the room she will tiptoe over to greet you and if you're sitting in the room she will happily sit at your feet

If you’d like to adopt Lydia please message us 😊

Oh Benny, how can I put my love for you into words. I don’t even know where to begin. You meant more to me than words can express. You were full of attitude, sass but more than anything you were full of love. You loved nothing more than being with your friends and of course all of the tasty treats that you were offered. You were the first one over at food time and the first to hop onto our laps for a snug.When you feel ill and came indoor you met your soulmate, Lottie who comforted you alongside us (and of course your favourite radiator) for your final days. We would give anything just to have 5 more minutes but I just hope you know how much you were loved right up until your last breath. I wish we had forever but sadly our journey had to end sooner than any of us wanted. We will remember you always and forever. Thank you for letting us borrow some of your precious time. I love you ❤️

We can’t thank everyone enough for this one, especially Gail who donated the castle to begin with. This has been the most successful fundraiser and we’ve made an incredible £908!!!!!!!!! Huge congrats to our winner Adele!

Everything we do, is done for them. When you run a rescue, your life is no longer your own. Your every being belongs to them and you live vicariously. This is life long commitment that we vowed on the 17th of June 2022. It’s all for them.

Dakota has 3 sponsors and needs 7 more sponsors parents ❤️‍🩹 Dakota has terrible ear infections and abscessing and has recently had TECABO surgery, which came at a £1,000 price tag. The surgery site is inflamed and infected so she’s on a bucket load of medication. She developed a head tilt after the surgery which is common and currently on antivertigo meds to help her balance. She will need the other ear operated on once she’s recovered from the first one. Could you sponsor her for £10 per month? Your money will help us pay for her costly and ongoing treatments 🙂

Brooke 🖤

We absolutely can’t this let year slip away with honourable mention to those we’ll spend a lifetime grieving. 2024 has seen some of the very best there is, leave this earth for the next life. It’s been by far the most emotionally upsetting year SRR has faced, in September we seriously questioned whether we could actually keep going. Here’s hoping to a much more positive new year, we can’t face seeing so many stars leave again. Cherished, loved and their memories will live on through Shrewsbury Rabbit Rescue, indefinitely. In the next life, our loves ❤️‍🩹💫⭐️
