Wellington Rabbit Rescue

WRR offers shelter to at-risk rabbits, and advocates for better welfare outcomes in Aotearoa, NZ. We are 100% volunteer run. Thank you :)
(10)

Wellington Rabbit Rescue is a registered, not for profit charity that takes in abused, neglected, sick, injured, abandoned, and otherwise at-risk companion rabbits. WRR operates via a foster network of private homes. While rabbits are in our care they receive any veterinary treatment they require. They are housed in large enclosures so they can exhibit natural rabbit behaviour, and are fed a high

quality diet. Once the rabbits are healthy and ready for adoption they are des*xed and vaccinated with filavac.
*All rabbits des*xed by WRR are microchipped (as of June 2020)

We inspect potential homes, and require the rabbits to be housed in a large, safe area of a minimum 2x3 metres of floor space, with at least 1.5 metres in height. This is in addition to shelter which provides protection from all weather conditions. Rabbits are social creatures, who do best in des*xed pairs of the opposite s*x. Same-s*x pairs can often result in fighting, so for this reason our policy is to only re-home in des*xed pairs of one male, and one female. If the potential new family has an existing rabbit, WRR will help mix/bond the pair before the adoption can be processed. WRR only resort to euthanasia in cases where quality of life is no longer viable, and these decisions are made under the guidance and advice of our trusted veterinarians. If rabbits cannot be safely re-homed due to long-term health conditions, they will stay in the care of the charity. WRR relies on public donations, and receives no government funding. If you would like to make a donation you can do so here:

‼️ Missing - Naenae, Lower Hutt

This little bun is missing from around the Seddon Street / Shearer Cresent area, and his whānau are very worried.

Please get in contact if you have any information that could help🐇

26/08/2024

It's hard to believe that this gentle soul was once rejected for not being "friendly enough" when he is genuinely one of the sweetest rabbits we have ever known.

But we're glad those people failed to see Ghoul for who he is. Because to love him, and to be loved by him, is one of the greatest blessings we've had in this rescue.

And just look at those eyelashes!! Honestly! 😍

26/08/2024

‼️ Heavy rains are expected to continue until 8 pm tonight in some areas. Please bring outdoor animals inside if you live near rivers, streams, and other known flood zones.

Make sure to clear debris from nearby gutters and avoid foraging from flooded areas for the next few weeks.

Our girl Freyja was spayed on Thursday and is recovering well ✨️ No more babies for this gorgeous mumma 🙌

Did you know that rabbit-savvy veterinarians estimate 80-90% of intact ladybuns will develop uterine cancer after the age of two 👀 So we're grateful Freyja won't have to worry about this, either.

Our recent vet bills have been kicking our butts. If you're in a position to help Ms. Freyja cover some of her surgery costs, donations can be made directly to our fees-free bank account: Wgtn Rabbit Rescue
06 0507 0812817 00
Or into our Givealittle, linked in our bio 🐇

Donations $5 and above are tax deductible, but every dollar counts and is greatly appreciated 💕

Thanks again to everyone who has helped Freyja on her journey so far. Soon, she will be ready for adoption, and we can't wait to see her thriving in a whānau who loves her as much as we do.

18/08/2024

⛈️ With multiple weather warnings around the country, including heavy rain warnings for Pōneke, and the possibility of snow tomorrow, we thought now a good time for a reminder about the importance of weather-proofing!

Outside of the obvious immediate dangers, the biggest risks to rabbits are the combination of rain and wind and sudden temperature changes. Exposure can have deadly consequences; particularly for older and younger rabbits and for those with health issues.

That said, even healthy adults can struggle in storms, as these are stressful and may cause your rabbit to sit stationary for long periods of time; potentially leading to conditions such as Gi Stasis.

If your rabbits live inside or out, it pays to play it safe by ensuring they have everything they need to stay warm and dry through winter 🐇

--------- 🐰 ---------

‼️ Remember to fill in any holes/burrows your bunnies have created, as these can flood and/or collapse with them inside 👀

✨️ ✨️ Congratulations to Lisa S. for winning the Aroha for Animals prize draw!!

When we contacted Lisa to let her know she had won, she confessed that after seeing how much Hazel and Rogue loved the Purrfect Palaces snugglebox, she promptly purchased 30 tickets!! All in the hopes that she might win the prize and could donate it to them 😭💗 So, congratulations to Hazel and Rogue, too!

A massive THANK YOU to , , Made by Leon, and for donating your time and mahi to help create such an awesome prize 💚 and a big thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket (or more!!)

Together, you have raised $395 for the WRR bunnies 🐇✨️

Ghoul has conquered another week and was feeling well enough to spend some time outside yesterday, enjoying the sunshine and gorging on way too much food, while his feline siblings kept watch for pesky intruders.

We've been pretty quiet lately, as there is a lot going on for our team members right now. Thank you to everyone who has shown us patience.

💚 We hope you're all staying warm this evening.

TikTok videos of pets acting in funny & unusual ways can look cute and harmless, but are these animals actually in distress?

Research from Admiral Pet Insurance revealed that a shocking 1 in 5 videos show distressed pets, that’s 21% of clips! The videos had also received over 228 million likes and a mass of +3 billion views 😳

- 51% of videos showed pets being scared or startled.
- 19% of videos showed distressed pets being dressed up.
- 41% of videos showed distressed pets in dangerous situations.
- 11% of videos showed distressed pets being neglected.

We just wanted to share these alarming stats with you to remind you to think about what you’re about to watch before you watch it - Does the animal look happy?

‼️ Found - Kārori.

The injured rabbit sighted in Kārori has finally been secured, and we have transferred them to the SPCA, where they will receive immediate vet care for their eye.

Thank you to all the neighbours who watched out for her/him and kept us informed of sightings 🐇

We hope to have a positive update soon 🤞

03/08/2024

Well, we got our miracle. Ghoul perked up considerably last night and has spent the day seeking cuddles and food. He has even shown a touch of his old mischief ✨️

He is by no means out of the woods, but we have listened to his needs and canceled his euthanasia appointment today. We will not let him suffer, but if Ghoul wants to continue to fight, then we'll fight with him.

Tonight is set to be our coldest yet, with MetService predicting a low of 2°c in Pōneke‼️

Please make arrangements to keep your rabbits cozy, whether they live inside or out, and especially if you have a special soul like this boy 💚

02/08/2024

Last week, Ghoul won the battle against his impaction, and we were able to put a treatment plan in place to support him through life with Megacolon.

But, the impaction was only ever half the battle, and recovery back to health was always going to be tricky. Sadly, this cold snap hasn't done him any favours, and Ghoul has now taken a bad turn.

While we are hopeful for one more miracle, tonight will be all about his two most favourite things: cuddles and kale.

💚

❄️ The combination of cold wind and rain can have deadly consequences for outdoor animals. Below are some of the steps we can take to support outdoor rabbits through the coming days.

✔️ Weather-proof enclosures with secure tarps or other waterproof materials.

✔️ Insulate shelters by securing warm blankets and/or tarps around the outside.

✔️ Provide extra hay and/or straw inside shelters for rabbits to burrow into.

✔️ Ensure outdoor enclosures and surrounding loose objects are securely tied down.

✔️ Provide options for higher ground and fill in any burrows, as these can flood and/or collapse with rabbits inside.

------- 🐰 -------

🌡 Sudden changes in temperature can cause Gi stasis. If you are able to bring rabbits inside until the weather passes, it is best to house them in unheated areas of your home.

⚠️ Always remember to check on outdoor animals regularly and seek immediate medical attention if a rabbit refuses to eat 👈

🐰 Baby Elska wants to remind everyone that Animates Vetcare NZ Kilbirnie is still collecting donations for the bunnies, in-store, until August 4th!

So if you're heading out to get supplies this weekend, please head into Mahora Street and support the Kilbirnie team's efforts for rescue bunnies 🐇

✨️ Our Prize Draw is also running until the 5th! ✨️
Details linked in the comments below.

---------- 🐰 ----------

Elska left her mum, Freyja, this week and went into a foster home of her own. We always hate it when the time comes to separate babies... We don't understand how Breeders can do it so easily 💔 Thankfully, both Freyja and Elska are surrounded by love and will be in good hands while we get them prepared for their future homes.

25/07/2024

Does anyone else desperately need some good news? Because we have some...

Lilah and Bu**um are officially a couple 💕🙌✨️ and Lilah's journey is officially one of our favourite ever success stories.

Late last year, we were contacted about Ms. Lilah after she started visiting some apartments in Kārori. As it turned out, Lilah had been roaming the neighbourhood for a number of years, and we soon discovered that she had narrowly escaped many a dog, cat, and car!!

Despite efforts to contact a family, no one came forward. Worse still, Lilah was very much intact 🙄 so it was pure luck that she wasn't pregnant or riddled with uterine cancer.

Now, her luck has paid off once again. Not only does Lilah get to live out her life with the gorgeous Bu**um, but she will do it with some of the most devoted humans we've met, and in THIS absolute paradise 😍😍

Lilah and Bu**um share an engaging indoor space that offers 2.4m x 3.5m and opens up onto a TWENTY ONE by three metres wide, predator-proof(!!), outdoor playground 🙌

Lilah will never have to worry about her safety or her happiness ever again.

💕 Congratulations to Bu**um, Lilah, and their beautiful whānau. We couldn't be happier for you 🐇

23/07/2024

Please keep our sweet Ghoul in your thoughts tonight, as he needs all the help he can get 💔

Last Christmas, while Ghoul was staying with Kat, we discovered something wasn't quite right with our boy. After a few tests and some careful dietary tweaks, he stabilised and went back to his lovely foster mum. Then, shortly after Kat's precious Brer passed away, Ghoul's foster family moved overseas, and it was decided that he would live with Kat and her whānau.

Ghoul fit in as if he was always meant to be, and last Thursday, he was officially diagnosed with Megacolon.

This condition is so rare, that we have only ever heard of one other rabbit diagnosed in the entire country 👀 Unfortunately, Ghoul also has a severe caecal impaction that is stubbornly refusing to pass, and we're now on the clock...

If it passes, then Ghoul has a fighting chance, and he so clearly wants to fight!! Our boy has proven himself the dream patient - accepting everything so long as it's followed up with kisses.

It seems cruel that yesterday marked two years since Ghoul's parents were first discovered abandoned in a rural shed to die, while he and his siblings were just newborns... Ghoul deserves to have more time, and so do we 🤞🙏💗

22/07/2024

🐇 It's no secret that we're cautious about bringing rabbits to public events. So we had only planned for Hazel and Rogue to make a quick appearance at Animates on Saturday. However, they soon made it obvious that they had no intention of going home early 😅 and by all accounts, they had a thoroughly good time!!

Aside from overindulging in treats, one of the highlights of their day was undoubtedly the chance to reunite with their previous foster parents and spend some quality time together 💕

We want to send out a massive THANK YOU to everyone who braced the rain to come in and say hello! To everyone who donated their time and their baking to help the bunnies. And to Nippy and Jody from for coming down to support us!! We're already super jealous of the lucky humans who will get to adopt Nippy 👀

Last but certainly not least - to the wonderful staff at Animates Kilbirnie for taking such good care of us and making us feel so welcome!! Thank you for choosing the bunnies!! 🐇🐇🐇🐇

The "Aroha for Animals" campaign runs through until the 4th of August, so please hop into the Kilbirnie store next time you need supplies ✨️

----- 🐰 -----

📸 Shout out to for lending the furniture for Hazel and Rogue's set-up, and for gifting them their adorable new name plaque 🐰💕🐰

Edit: We can also accept bank transfers again, now all that's sorted!!

‼️ Update: A member of our team visited the location, but unfortunately, the rabbit had moved on and was unable to be found. We'll stay in contact with neighbours and will keep trying.

‼️ Sighted in Kārori ‼️

Do you recognise this rabbit?

Given the information we have just received, we believe they have been roaming around the Chamberlain Road area for at least a month. Despite being advertised, no one has come forward to say they're missing them.

It is clear from these photos that they require urgent help.

We're so incredibly SICK of seeing the lack of accountability, let alone basic human decency, afforded to sentient beings.

We MUST do better.

🐰 Help! No one (outside of our team) has come forward to bake for the fundraiser event next weekend 🫣

If you're in a position to donate a batch of baked vegan goods, we would love to hear from you!!

✨️🐰 Fundraiser Event next Saturday at Animates Kilbirnie 🐰✨️

The Animates Kilbirnie team have been busy fundraising for WRR bunnies, and now they've kindly invited us to take over half their store in celebration 🙌

Please join us between 11am - 2pm on 20th July to thank them for their hard mahi, grab a cupcake, have a chat, and help raise some much-needed funds for rescue rabbits!

Hazel and Rogue will be there!! 🐰💕🐰

If you have seen him, please get in touch, as his whānau is very worried 🐰

The lovely Ms Rosa is ready and waiting for her new forever home! 💕🐇

Rosa recently came into our care after she was abandoned on the streets of Whitby. Since then, we have had her spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and registered on NZCAR. She is a confident, friendly, and inquisitive girl who is estimated to be around five years old.

Rosa is currently thriving in an indoor foster home with plenty of attention. But we suspect she would quite like to get her feet back out on some fresh grass asap! So an outdoor home with indoor access would be ideal for her.

Our minimum requirements for enclosures are 2x3 metres of floorspace, with an additional 1x1 metre shelter attached. However, given Rosa's size and history, she would prefer a larger home, or at least one where she will get plenty of (safe) free-range time!!

Rosa is also looking for a new husbun to share her life with 🐇 👀

------- 🐰 --------

If you would like to know more about Rosa or any of our available rabbits, please hop directly into our inbox.

Adoption criteria apply.

If we had a dollar for every time someone told us that rabbits are "boring", "dumb", or that they "don't do anything" we would never have to worry about vet bills again 😅
And because we're sure we're not the only ones dodging such ignorant statements on a regular basis, we thought we'd share this video as proof that rabbits are just as capable of learning and retaining information as anyone else.

The only "boring" rabbit is a depressed one!!

---- 🐰 ----

For the record, we don't think rabbits need to perform tricks to be special. They are all perfect, just as they are! 🐇

💕 Vanilla and Buddy, enjoying a lazy afternoon outside. These gorgeous girls were spayed recently and are now officially the last of Khoda's babies still available for adoption 🥰 Both girls are now six months old and looking for love. So if you have a lonely male bun who needs a companion, please hop into our inbox for a chat!! 🐇 All WRR buns are desexed, vaccinated with Filavac, microchipped, and registered on NZCAR. --------- 🐰 --------- Due to Buddy's long-coat, she will require a predominantly indoor home with humans who are willing and able to commit to her additional grooming needs 🪮

🐰 Baby Elska wants to remind everyone that Animates Vetcare NZ Kilbirnie is still collecting donations for the bunnies, in-store, until August 4th! So if you're heading out to get supplies this weekend, please head into Mahora Street and support the Kilbirnie team's efforts for rescue bunnies 🐇 ✨️ Our Prize Draw is also running until the 5th! ✨️ Details linked in the comments below. ---------- 🐰 ---------- Elska left her mum, Freyja, this week and went into a foster home of her own. We always hate it when the time comes to separate babies... We don't understand how Breeders can do it so easily 💔 Thankfully, both Freyja and Elska are surrounded by love and will be in good hands while we get them prepared for their future homes.

✨️ Final chance to grab something delicious and say hi to Hazel and Rogue (who have loved their playdate!!) We're here until 2 pm!! ✨️

🐰 Piper wants to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has offered to bake for the fundraiser event at Animates Kilbirnie this Saturday!! You're all amazing 💚

Freyja and her foster mum enjoying a late night Sunday snuggle while their babies sleep soundly in their beds 🐇

💕 Whenever a mother has been separated from her babies for a lengthy time, there is a small risk that she will not welcome them back. This adds an extra level of tension and complexity to cases like this. But as it turns out, we needn't have worried!! Mumma was overjoyed at the sight of her baby and promptly got to work grooming and feeding her. Proving once again that intentionally separating domestic babies from their mothers at 4 - 6 weeks of age is not in their best interests. Rather, it is a ploy by greedy breeders who simply want to exploit their "stock" faster. Anyway. We're exhausted. So we will leave you with this sweet reunion video from early this morning, and will provide a full update on this little whānau tomorrow.

At long last, Charlie and Titan are officially a couple!! 💕 🙌 Poor Charlie wasn't coping after the loss of her partner, and her family's increasing need to travel for work. Like many rabbits in her position, she had become fearful and overwhelmed. So when her family contacted us for help, we put our feelers out and found the handsome Titan; who had also lost his partner. It took a long time for Charlie to trust them. But, her new family was determined to build a relationship with her. After eight long months, Charlie finally accepted love again 💗 She and Titan have each found a new sense of confidence, and it's clear from their constant grooming sessions that they're making up for lost time! We wish them and their family many happy years together 🐇

It's certainly been the day for smoothies!! Even with all the bedroom doors open, the heat pumps running cold, and fresh icepacks on rotation in front of their own fans, the rabbit rooms at HQ passed 25°c today 🥵 We hate to think what could have happened if we hadn't taken these steps 🫠 Each rabbit also has their own cooling mat, as well as a frozen water bottle or icebrick wrapped inside old pillowcases. But with all these measures in place, the buns were still struggling to stay hydrated, so these smoothies were a welcome treat 🐇 We've included the recipe in the comments below! -------- 🐰 --------

🙌 Darcy and his intended, Nala, have progressed to chaperoned play-time in what will be their shared bedroom. This may be a longer video than we would usually post, but it is absolutely worth watching to the end 💕 We wish all wildies who end up in rescues were adopted into homes that afford this much enrichment, respect, and love. But sadly, rabbits with agouti coats are the least adopted, and they often spend their entire lifetimes waiting for someone to choose them. Darcy lived with our team for nine months, but we have no doubt that he agrees Nala and her whānau were absolutely worth waiting for. We hope you're all enjoying a peaceful weekend, surrounded by those you love 🐇

When the human thinks they can trick you by hiding the FibreSafe in a handful of crunchy hay, but you're a smart boi 🦷🐇 Ghoul is staying at HQ over the holiday season, so be prepared for #GhoulSpam coz he is also the SWEETEST.

🎉🎉 Congratulations to... Lisa Snow! 🎉🎉 And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who purchased tickets for our Animates Prize Draw 🐰 A few last minute entries, combined with two generous donations (including one from his beloved foster mum 💗😭) means that we have now raised $905 of Benji's thousand dollar surgery 🙌 We are so grateful to belong to this community 🐇 Special shout out to Julie Ward and the team at Animates Kilbirnie for donating these goodies! ✨️ --------- 🐰 --------- 📸 We thought you'd all appreciate this video of Benjamin's first adventure outside post-surgery.

‼️ Metservice has issued a strong wind warning tonight, with severe gusts of 120km/h expected in some areas 🌪 👀 Items on your own property are not the only threat to outdoor animals in high winds. Unsecured items from neighbouring properties, trees, and powerlines are also a risk, so we recommend bringing animals inside where possible. If you're bringing outdoor rabbits inside, it's best to choose an unheated area of your house in order to avoid the stress of sudden changes in temperature 🐇 -------- 🐰 -------- 📸 Our beautiful Ali, who is safely tucked up in his foster home tonight!! 🌻 Ali is a one year old neutered male who is vaccinated with filavac, microchipped, and available for adoption to a quiet home in the Wellington area 💖

Last night, Chico binkied for the first time since surviving the arson attack ✨️💕

We've been reluctant to share Miss Chico's involvement in last weeks arson attack, as we know her friends and whānau around the world will be worried. But we are relieved to confirm that she has officially made it through the worst of the "danger zone" and is doing okay. Poor Chico was sleeping directly next to the fire when it started, and was exposed to twelve and a half minutes of smoke inhalation. If it were not for the incredible bravery of her foster parents, this would have been a very different story. But because of their actions, neither rabbit has received any burns whatsoever!! Chico's breathing has stabilised well, and no further deterioration is expected. This sweet girl had only recently started a slow-bond with her (hopefully) husbun-to-be, Galen, who was also in the fire, but was able to be found a little sooner. Both rabbits are receiving ongoing care and will be closely monitored over the coming weeks, so we'll update if anything changes. After failing to eat breakfast on Saturday, Chico did spend a fourth day in the Oxygen Chamber. But by noon, it was concluded that she had stress-related Gi Stasis rather than any further complications from smoke inhalation. She's now back in the care of her foster parents, who were very happy to have her and Galen home safe! They're currently being showered with love, and happily eating all of their favourite foods 💗 We want to thank everyone who has reached out to offer their time and support this past week. We appreciate each and every one of you! --------- 🐰 --------- For those who have asked how they can help cover the costs of Galen and Chico's medical care, donations can be made to our fees-free bank account or to our givealittle (details in the comments). Thank you! 🐇

Galen would like to thank everyone who has purchased tickets to win Lynda Bell Art 's "Lunar Bunnies" so far 💕 We only have 17 tickets left, so get in quick if you don't want to miss out on a chance to win this beautiful work of art!! 🐇 ✨️ Details in the comments below ✨️

Some cute Benji content to start the week off well 🐇💕 Benjamin is doing so well, and we are so proud of him and his Foster Mumma for all their hard work 🙌 The stairs are a good way for us to gauge Benji's balance and coordination progress. It's just a bonus that he loves playing on them!! ...Although we do suspect part of the appeal is the opportunity to leave a delightful pile of territorial poops for the entertainment of the resident buns 💩😅
