URGENT FOSTER OR HOMES NEEDED FOR THESE 3 buns rescued from Waterworks park! We are no longer in operation and do not have resources, care or space to hold them.

2 boys, and 1 girl. Approximately 12 weeks old. Desperately in need of a home (not caged or outdoors) these babies were dumped, and one even had not fly larvae in his neck causing huge abscesses from being outdoors. They were lucky to survive.

They have been treated with all the anti parasitic for worms, given flea/tick treatment and 1 boy neautered. Slight suspicion 1 girl is pregnant,

They are the absolute sweetest, friendliest, kissiest bunnies we have ever had in the doors! They love to be held, to cuddle; and pet like little babies; and they love to groom and lick you back (bunny kisses!)

3 absolute darlings, with no where to go! Anyone would be luck to have such angelic pets. Even with good litter habits!

Can you help provide a safe space for them, even temporarily to foster? Get in touch!

PSA: we are no longer able to take in and care for bunnies. Though licensed, we were never able to achieve funding to support rescue and care.

In an emergency we will help you capture a lost/abandoned bunny or save a bunny from an abusive situation. We can also be a resource for bunny care, recommended housing etc. But we are not able to take in and care for bunnies any longer due to lack of finances, staff and available time for care.

 This sweet neutered, adult male bunny has been found in wandering in Fairfield! At 8th and Filmore area.

If you or someone you know have lost your pet bunny, please reach out to us or Phillip Rabelais below quick, before he is transferred out to a rescue in Iowa City.

He’s very sweet. Seems in good health, if a little dirty from being outside so he may have been outside a whole. He could definitely do with being reunited with his loving owners if possible.

If we don’t find his owners he needs an urgent home as we are currently full!

Thank you!

Fairfield friends, please help! These spayed, litter-trained, teeny bunny girls urgently need a foster home. The foster person they are currently with is being forced to abandon them this weekend! If anyone you know can take them even temporarily whilst we find them a home, please message us urgently. They will have nowhere from Saturday and we just don't have space at this time to take them in at our base. They will come with x-pen, litter trays, food and all the things they need, for a temporary foster, or adoption. Tawni Fox @

To start ASAP. This is a paid job!

We have a 10 ft wide by 16ft long Dutch Barn style shed, with haylofts. Currently on a concrete pad. We need it raised to have the floor insulated beneath and then placed back down.

Will require heavy-duty equipment and the right props as the shed is extra heavy due to being insulated in walls and roof, and with shiplap wooden walls over insulation and ceiling. Plus bunny hutches 10ft wide x 5ft high fitted in the back.

Urgent as winter is making the cabin shed too far too cold without an insulated floor!

Please help if you have the experience and necessary equipment. References/recommendations required.

Many thanks!

Update on our rescue last month of 1 bunny and 5 guineas, and 1 bunny who had been surrendered due to allergies. They are all safe & well, happily snuggling with their foster mama. The guineas are now paired into a boy pair and a girl pair (more on them later) but these two beautiful bunny girls are both up for adoption!

Flower is a wonderful, friendly companion bunny. She is very well house trained and litter trained and came from a home with children, where she was free-roamed by day, and kept in the child bedroom at night, therefore she really loves human company all the time. She would do best in a home ideally with children or people who are very attentive, and at home often. She does need to free roam as she simply loves to run, zoomie and binky to her hearts content. An active happy bunny, of course as long as you are gentle in your approach and the house is not too loud (scary) for a little bun. 🙂 A sweet little girl who has been very well loved and socialized.

Fuzzy, whom we have renamed Princess Aurora (the name of Sleeping beauty) is the smaller lionhead female, with sweet white with little grey patches(it's called Broken Blue in bunny colors), she had been kept in a cage prior to coming here so is still getting used to being with people, and cuddling, but shes very gentle, and will sit in your lap and enjoy pets and strokes. She is very good about being held/carried when needed, she's an exceptionally beautiful sweet little bunny, never bites, and surprisingly seems to enjoy petting time, and she would really do well with a patient owner, willing to work with her to learn to trust humans 🙂 ) 🙂

Contact us if you would like to know more or send in an application:) Both of these girls are super cuties, who have lovely personalities and would make a great additional family member to any home! ❤

Thank you so much to everyone who kindly donated to get little Peanut mama guinea the help she so desperately needed! You really all touched our hearts.

Sadly, in the early hours of this morning Peanut passed away in the arms of her foster mama 😢. The vets yesterday diagnosed that she was indeed dropped or thrown at something and suffered major physical trauma. Most likely within the previous 48 hours.

We knew after our appt yesterday late afternoon that it would be touch and go, and Avary, her foster mama, stayed up all night with her, administering meds, making sure she was warm and comfortable enough and trying to get her to take critical care from the syringe (liquid food)

We tried so hard to do everything we could for her, even taking her 2 hours away to the best exotic veterinary care, but she was too badly injured and malnourished and despite all efforts, she couldn't pull through.

She passed without pain, comforted in a warm cozy "rice sock" by her foster mama, with her babies close by, after receiving her pain meds. We did our very best for this little one and did everything the vets wanted, but sadly her injuries had caused internal bleeding and were clearly just too bad.

Peanut was a precious, sweet, friendly little girl, and even though she was only here for a short time, we all miss her very much! 🙁 ❤ We all had a cry last night, and lit a candle to send her little soul on its way. May you be at peace little mama, and may you come back as someone even bigger, stronger, and better protected in the next life. ❤ xoxox

She is survived by her 2 babies, her sister Nibbles, and the father of her babies, all of whom, once recovered also, will be available to adopt to loving forever homes. 🙂 They too need extra TLC at this time, with special recovery food due to malnourishment, so every bit you can contribute helps!

Thank you so much for your support! It means the world to these precious little babies!

This is peanut butter, a very injured little guinea pig! She needs specialist vet help urgently. Along with the rabbit we rescued on Thursday, via Flufflepuffs’ Bunny Haven it was apparent we needed to save these guinea pigs. This little mama was living in unsanitary conditions, and went straight to the vet, severely wasted, so skinny, severely dehydrated. We discovered she couldn’t seem to open her jaw or chew on food to eat, though it’s clear she desperately wanted to.

Once we got her home from the initial vet, after placing her down and watching her we have discovered she cannot hold her pelvis up and flops her pelvis/butt over to the left side. Her legs work but her spine is unstable so when she tries to walk her hips fall to the side making her fall over.

This morning she had a bloody mess pass from her rectum/vulva/bladder.... we just don’t know exactly where from. It’s seeming more and more like she was thrown at an object/wall or dropped from a height.

Mama piggie appears very seriously injured! We need to get her to the emergency specialist vet in Des Moines today as no one locally can even do ultrasounds or x-rays on Guineas.

This poor little girl has been through so much and has too little babies. She deserves a chance at life and to recover from whatever harm she has suffered!

Vet bills are likely to be costly, and we just don’t have it so please please help this injured little girl get the treatment! We need your help! No one deserves to be starving and in this much pain. Especially when it looks like it was done to her.

Please help these innocent injured animals get out of pain, and get the life back that they deserve

Everyone loves a bunny massage! Especially William, whose favourite things include and best part of his day. He is probably the calmest, chillest, most relaxed bunny we’ve ever had!

Urgently required. An extra pair of hands with bunny experience, to help with bunny care. All skills can be taught but must be somewhat used to handling bunnies carefully. Ideal for a bunny owner.

Roles include
- changing litter trays
-vacuuming/sweeping bunny pens
- feeding, water and bowl cleaning
- being a second pair of handsfor grooming long haired bunnies, with blow outs, combing, brushing and clipping. We will teach this, but could be for a second person if you are not confident to groom.
- helping with scent glands cleaning, nails, and general health checks.
- taking bunnies to and from their outdoor runs for morning or evening exercise

Currently we need someone every day, but this could be split between two or 3 people.

At least 1 hour per day currently. Usually it’s a 2-3 hour slot, 2-3 x pw. Can be shared or all for one person.

We are looking for someone reliable, calm with the animals, physically able to carry bunnies (some are 12lbs, plus carrier) and lift small loads such as pellet bags who truly loves bunny rabbits, and is willing to be focused whilst working, but would also love to pet and socialise with the bunnies after their work is done ... genuine bunny lovers only.

This role is perfect for teens or people with bunny experience looking for part time work.

Fee to be negotiated based on experience level. :)

Yes! Our perfect bunny owners realize each bunny is a little person, with a unique personality, and they want to be your best friend, but sometimes it takes a little (or a lot) of effort on your part to win their trust. But be patient, it pays off. Bunnies make the best of friends if you respect their unique personalities! ;)

Skully bear! This beautiful, sweet, fun, lovable boy is 2 years and 3 months old and he truly deserves all the love and cuddles in the world!

He’s a magical bouncy bun, that’s so floofy he needs his bangs trimmed every couple of weeks so he can see, but he’s such a good boy about it, he will happily sit still whilst u play hairdresser 🥰🌸💖🤩

If you have a peaceful home and want a cuddle bear u can snuggle, but also spoil and play with, this is your bun bun! We want to see him happy in a forever home that will spoil him rotten, just like the fabulous little prince he is! 🤩 If u can give him the good life, hit us up ASAP! 💖🐰🌸🥰🤩🤸🏿‍♀️

This time of year, your bunnies are at great risk of heatstroke. Heres how to spot the signs and what to do, to save your bunny. Heatstroke can and does kill bunnies, so it's VERY important to stay informed. Number one is aim to keep them in 50-70 F temps, if it does go above 70, monitor very closely. 75 +| for sure is where they start to struggle, but 80 + is danger zone! Here's how to cope this summer.

From Medivet: Heatstroke in rabbits
It’s important to keep your rabbit cool in warmer weather – this will keep them happy and means there’s less chance of them suffering from heatstroke.

What is heatstroke?
Heatstroke occurs when a rabbit gets too hot and is unable to regulate their body temperature. It’s a serious illness for rabbits and can prove fatal.

A rabbit’s enclosure should ideally be between 50-70 degrees celsius. However, there’s a fine line as rabbits can start to show signs of heatstroke at 72 degrees celsius.

Keep a watchful eye on your rabbit on warmer days, there are some really easy things that you can do to keep your rabbit cool and happy when the sun is out.

How can I tell if my rabbit has heatstroke?
Rabbits do not display symptoms of illness unless they are in real trouble. Check your rabbit carefully at least a couple of times a day to spot any early signs of illness.

Signs of heatstroke are:

Drooling or salivating
Panting and taking short shallow breaths
Overall weakness and lethargy
Reddening and warmth of the ears
Wetness around the nose
Fitting or falling unconscious

What should I do if I think my rabbit has heatstroke?
If your rabbit is showing any of these signs, please talk to your vet immediately.

There are some immediate things that you can do to help try and cool your rabbit down. It’s really important that you do this slowly, this will avoid your rabbit going into shock and making the situation worse. You should never pour water over your rabbit.

Place a damp towel over the enclosure
Allow them to drink small amounts of cool water
Gently wipe cool water on their ears
Move their enclosure (if you can) so it’s in a cooler place or move them to a cooler (secure) place if that’s not an option
A rabbit that is suffering from heatstroke should always be seen by a vet. Even if you believe that you have cooled your rabbit down and they are behaving normally.

How can I prevent heatstroke?
As with all conditions, prevention is better than cure. There are a few simple steps that you can take that will ensure your rabbit stays safe.

Shade
Plenty of shade is a must, indoors or outdoors. A rabbit should never be housed in direct sunlight.

If it’s not possible for their enclosure to be in the shade, then you need to provide plenty of option for shade. This could be a parasol, a towel or some tarpaulin.

Inside their enclosure, a tunnel or cardboard box will provide shade and possibly some entertainment.

Water
Hydration is key and you should ideally provide a couple of different water sources; a bowl and a bottle. Check bottles regularly to ensure they aren’t blocked. Change the water a minimum of twice a day, so they will always have access to clean, cool water.

A frozen bottle of water wrapped in a towel is a great way to help your rabbit keep cool.

Cool breeze
If your rabbit’s enclosure is in a shed or outhouse, you could safely open a door or window to allow a natural breeze to pass through. Don’t allow a cool breeze to become an uncomfortable draft.

Alternatively, a small battery-operated fan can help. Always position it so that your rabbit can move away from the breeze should they have had enough.

Cool mat
These are widely available for a reasonable price, and they’re another great option for placing inside the enclosure.

Grooming
Rabbits with longer fur will heat up quicker but ensuring that your rabbit is well-groomed will make a difference.

What else should I know?
In the summer you should be checking your rabbit at least twice a day for flystrike. Read more here.
Rabbits struggle with sudden changes to temperatures. If you need to cool your rabbit down or warm them up – this must only ever be done gradually. Anything else could send them into shock and result in them becoming very poorly.
In the wild, rabbits would spend hot days tunnelled underground. If your rabbit has an outdoor run, a safe tunnel for them to burrow in would be ideal. Alternatively, a big earth filled litter tray, that can be kept damp to keep cool is a good option – if a little messy.
