Nail trims!

Bunnies need regular nail trims, about every 4-6 weeks.

If nails are not kept trimmed they can get snagged and tear off, causing a lot of pain and damage to the toe. It can also be uncomfortable for them to move around with long nails, and sore hocks can develop as a result.

Below is a helpful guide to show you how to correctly trim nails. You can also go to your local vet or pet groomer for assistance.

An update from Jess's foster!

Jess is doing great with her potty-box habits! She is not a fan of non-carpeted areas and much prefers something soft under her feet. She is loving snuggles and enjoys her cat friends!

This larger lady would love a home where she has lots of room to cautiously explore and is great with kids with gentle hands, with other pets, and other rabbits.

She is an older lady of about 5 years, is spayed, and very gentle. She is more on the timid side but is full of personality!

Please help us find Jess her forever home by sharing this post!

"Opened my eyes from a much-needed meditation for the 😵‍💫🫨 nervous system (Yoga With Adriene - do it) and saw this adorable sight, right next to me - I didn’t even know she was there. 🤩
We don’t talk enough about what you get in return when you foster an animal, especially when the trust was hard-won.
Hoppy House Rabbit Rescue is again in need of foster homes for some sweet buns. What a great way to add some adorable energy to your home these cold winter months inside!❤️
Maybe today will be a better day after all." 🐇 🥰

Very important info from No Rabbit Left Behind.

It is essential to establish care prior immediately when adding a family member. Waiting until you have an emergency leads to longer wait-times to see a vet.

Plan ahead!

A reminder...

You must live within one hour of the Chippewa Valley!

Great info on ear infections from Oscar's Rabbit Rescue, Inc.

Don’t wait to consult a vet if you notice behavior changes, pain symptoms, decreased eating or pooping, head tilt, flickering eyes, or others concerns.

Prevent ear infections as much as possible!

Lop-eared rabbits need our help.
Lops have droopy ears, smaller ear canals, and an L-shaped ear canal that can prevent detection of ear infections by just looking into the ears with an otoscope.

Ear infections must be detected and treated early. Failure to treat leads to severe pain and death because the infection spreads.

Ear infections in rabbits typically become chronic, and typically need recurrent antibiotic therapy. Many lop rabbits go on to have this a very expensive, invasive procedure called a partial ear canal ablation - bulla osteotomy or PECA-BO.

Throw back to 5 years ago today when we first started Hoppy House Rabbit Rescue with Yosemite, our very first foster. He came from Chippewa Humane.

It is GIVING TUESDAY!

Please consider donating to Hoppy House Rabbit Rescue! Every little bit helps!

Did you know that we spay and neuter all rabbits who come through our doors prior to adoption? Yup! We work hard to make sure there are no more accidental babies!

Unfortunately, this eats up our budget!! We always need assistance covering medical costs! Each bun receives the best medical care possible with the following:

🐇 A health check
🐇 Treatment for all injuries, illnesses
🐇 Flea and tick treatment
🐇 Sterilization
🐇 RHDV2 vaccine

This can all quickly add up to over $500 per rabbit.

This holiday season, consider donating a bit to help us out. We use Venmo and PayPal. Donations can even be made directly to our vet to be applied to our account at Lake Wissota Animal Hospital and Boarding.

Thank you for your continued support!

Great info from Rabbit Rescue of MN!

PSA/FYI
There is a wrong and a right way to pick up your rabbit.
A rabbit should never be held with their legs dangling as this risks a structural injury due to their very fragile bones if they should twist to escape.
Their ears are also NOT a handle and they have many nerve endings causing pain when yanked up by them.
And the scruff of the neck…. Forget about it!
Please handle with love and care, they deserve it.

Our adoptable rabbits!

Please help us find these buns their forever homes by sharing this post!

Dolly is a sweet and spunky gal who greatly enjoys her hair-brushing time. She is full of binkies and zoomies and would love a home where she can be a part of the family, possibly with a husbun! She does have high-maintenance hair that will need a brushing once a week but don't let that scare you...it is easy! She is spayed and vaccinated against RHDV2.

Lola is a queen searching for her palace! This large lady has a LARGE personality and she makes her demands well known! She will need a patient family who will learn her mannerisms, likes, and dislikes. She is between 4 and 5 years old and absolutely loves her snacks! She is spayed and vaccinated against RHDV2.

It's Jess! This beautiful gal is the most luxurious black! She is polite and silly! She is between 4 and 5 years old, spayed, and working on her potty-box skills. She would make a great family member and would be a great match for a lonely neutered male. She loves the cats in her foster home.

Stella is a timid lady who will need a patient family who will allow her time to come out of her shell. She was recently spayed and still needs time to heal but she would be great with a husbun who would show her that people can be trusted. You can win her heart with tasty treats! She is spayed.

Donkey is a recently neutered young man who has the most shiny, silky black hair! He is still young and is working on his potty-box skills. He is still learning to trust people but he would love a family who will spoil him with love.

Bear is a gentle guy who was recently neutered. He is a young man of about 7 months old who is great around kids with gentle hands. He is still learning to trust and his personality is starting to show more and more. He would be great with a spayed lady.

Jelly is a newly neutered young man looking for a forever home where he can be a part of the family. He is timid and cautious but we know he has a silly side just waiting to show! He is working on his potty-box habits.

Nicholas is an older guy who loves head pets. He is curious and gentle with a bit of sass. He can always be counted on for a laugh because of his personality. He does love to snuggle! He is neutered.

Sneaky Pete is a high-energy guy who loves to be part of the action. He is doing much better with his potty-box habits and loves to do zoomies. He is great with other pets, kids with gentle hands, and other rabbits. He is neutered.

Little Sq**rt is a fun guy who loves snacks! He is still young so he has lots of energy. He is neutered and working on his potty-box habits. One of his favorite things to do is to make soup with his water bowl, hay, and toys. He would love a family who will allow him to free-roam.

Cottonball and LW are a bonded pair of white fluff! These two were found separately as strays but quickly fell in love! Cottonball is a sassy lady who knows exactly what she likes and dislikes. LW is a guy who is full of binkies and zoomies. They must be adopted together! Both are sterilized.

Mr Hopps is a gentle guy who would love a friend. He is potty-box trained, small in size, and neutered. He is more on the timid side but warms up quickly. He is great around gentle dogs, cats, kids with gentle hands. He can be won over with treats!

Short notice!

Is anyone willing to pick up two buns from Clark County Humane tomorrow (Monday, Dec 2nd) at 4:30pm and deliver to Eau Claire?

If you cannot make the entire trip to EC, a portion of the trip would be very helpful!

Whether you have your rabbits bonded professionally or you do it yourself, the work doesn't stop to maintain a happy bond.

The most important thing is that you want to keep them together at all times. This means if one rabbit needs to go to the vet, their bonded friend/s must go with them in the same carrier. If your vet doesn't allow bonded friends to stay with them- you must insist.

Scatter feeding is always a good idea as it helps prevent choking and food aggression between the rabbits.

Never separate bonded rabbits, even if they scuffle. Once they're separated you then have to start from scratch with rebonding and the separation can be very stressful.

Remember, although pairs and groups of rabbits can be hard work it is 100% worth it for your bunnies to have a happy, secure life.
