Flufflepuffs’ Bunny Haven

🐇 We’re full on rabbits. Everyone is full on rabbits. Please do not impulsively buy a rabbit this Easter.

Rescues are bracing for the annual post-Easter wave of dumped or surrendered rabbits. Despite being the third most frequently surrendered animals at shelters in the US, resources for rabbits are scarce. This leads to rabbits being dumped, which leads to a slow death of prolonged suffering. There is a severe rabbit crisis in the US that doesn’t have a resolution in sight.

Domestic rabbits live 8-12 years. One rabbit poops 200-300 poop pellets every day. Male rabbits that haven’t been neutered (aka every rabbit sold at a store) pee on walls to mark their territory. Unspayed females have dangerously high rates of uterine cancer, to the point where spays are a critical part of their overall health. Neuters are $200-300. Rabbit spays are typically $200-500+. I’ve talked to some folks who’ve paid over $800. That’s for a healthy rabbit - not keeping in mind the budget for emergency care when they’re in stasis, cost for if the rabbit develops malocclusion, or general health checkups.

The current rabbit overpopulation crisis is so severe that we’re running out of rescues to refer people to. We have 80+ medically or behaviorally intensive rabbits (aka unadoptable) here. When Alex and Jason first started accepting rabbits, they hoped to have a max of six. While we’ve grown in scale and accepted more rabbits as our resources allow, we’re maxed out. Everyone is maxed out. I don’t know who can help with the annual wave of dumped rabbits that happens after this Easter.

Rabbits can be a good pet for the right folks!They’re intelligent and almost cat-like in behavior. Many are affectionate and they can be litter box trained. While they shouldn’t be caged and should be free-roaming, they do better in smaller apartments or condos than dogs or cats. If you’re interested in spending your next decade with a member of the family and have the resources to commit to veterinary care, please visit rescues like Bun Bun Brigade to find your new buddy!

P.S. The rabbit pictured here was previously adopted from us after he was born at a hoarding situation. After two years, he unfortunately had to be returned. Thankfully, one of our volunteers fell in love, and he beat the odds! He was quickly adopted to her loving home.

URGENT FOSTER OR HOMES NEEDED FOR THESE 3 buns rescued from Waterworks park!

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 bot 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!

 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 @
