Please send prayers and well wishes for Young Oliver and Jeepers as they undergo surgery today to be neutered! Both of these boys are absolute heart stealers and will make amazing pet companions for loving families. They will be available for adoption once they are healed. You can apply to adopt them online at www.RomeoRabbitRescue.com.

Last week our sweet girl, Lucky (brown) was returned from her foster to adopt home because her previous suitor had second thoughts about having a new bun enter his territory. Today, she had a date with a sweet little holland lop named Bowie. Sadly, Bowie lost his companion a few months ago and he had some initial reservations about meeting a new girl. He showed some visible angst towards Lucky at the beginning of their date, but as the date progressed, he gradually let his guard down until he gave it up all together and become completely smitten with her. Lucky, who had been longing for a husbun for some time, was cuddly and affectionate towards him and he endearingly reciprocated. In fact, he decided he loved cuddling Lucky so much, that he continued to cuddle into her neck even when she took a hay munching break. How stinkin’ cute is that?! He also became a bit excited and did what excited boys do, which Lucky wasn’t too impressed with. But once he learned to respect her boundaries in THAT area, these two love birds should be golden. We are so happy for Lucky for getting her second chance at love and wish these two happy bonding and a wonderful life ahead!

Nothing makes us happier than when one of our “waiting the longest” bunnies gets adopted! Not long ago our sweet Paprika, who’d been waiting for over two years, was adopted. And shortly after that, our fun loving pair, Honey and Puff, also been waiting over two years, found their forever home! But our longest term residents are sisters, Pikachu and Silvie. They were surrendered to us in January of 2022, meaning they have now been with us for just over three years! 😢 Because the sisters have been somewhat standoffish, they have been passed over for adoption time and time again. Historically, Silvie has been the most anti-social, lunging, grunting, boxing, even nipping in her earlier days. While Pikachu has been less aggressive, but otherwise keeps to herself. In recent months, the sisters decided to trade personalities and Pikachu started in with the lunging, grunting, and boxing. Silvie, on the other hand, experienced an unexpected breakthrough and decided she actually does like human affection! For this reason, we became excited and hopeful that Silvie would soon find her happily ever after home. But we worried that Pikachu may not, with her increased antisocial behaviors. When approved applicants brought their boy, Waffles, to find a bunwife, they went straight to our sassy sisters, despite my comments about them being aggressive towards other bunnies. And while lunging, grunting, and boxing is usually enough to scare away applicants, in Pikachu’s case, it is exactly what they loved about her most! When they asked if we could introduce her to Waffles, I reluctantly agreed, letting them know not to get their hopes up. But to my COMPLETE SURPRISE, instead of attacking, Pikachu initiated cuddling with Waffles! 😮 And Waffles absolutely adored her! Which just goes to show, I really don’t know what I’m talking about! 🤣 Pikachu went home with Waffles on an FTA while they work on bonding in her new home. We are hoping and praying they fully bond so Pikachu’s adoption can be finalized! But what about Silvie? She’s come so far and actually loves human affection now. Is anyone willing to take her home and give her the life every bunny deserves?

Mystery Baby - who is the mom?!

21/01/2025

The Davisburg resident who previously caught 4 stray female bunnies that were patently dumped on or near her backyard, caught another one just today, in these brutal sub zero temps. We are told this new bun has sick looking poops and is very skinny. She is warm and has access to healthy rabbit food and hay and will stay in Davisburg overnight. There is a 6th bunny hopping around her backyard that she is trying to catch. We previously thought the coyotes may have gotten them because they haven’t been spotted for a few days. We are looking for anyone who might be able to transport bunny #5 (and #6 if caught) from Davisburg to Romeo sometime tomorrow.

If you can help with transport, please reach out via messenger. If we don’t know you personally, we would ask that you send a copy of your drivers license if you are able to transport this bunny for us. This is a protective measure for the bunny and not meant to be offensive. It’s awful we have to think like this, but as sad as it is, I’m sure there are people out there who would offer to pick up a free bunny then disappear with it. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

I am happy to share that our darling Mama Sunshine is back together with her sweet baby daddy, Magic. I just love it when bun parents can stay together. 🥰💞

Mama is has been doing much better since her earlier battle E. Cuniculi. She still has just the slightest tilt that is hardly noticeable but I do plan to run her through one more round of treatment (which takes 30 days). After that, I anticipate we will be able to put this adorable pair up for adoption as a bonded pair of course!

Thank you to those who donated towards or Davisburg girls. Our highest donor was and our second highest donor was May Marie. We appreciate all donations that came in just the same, no matter the size. Thank you for your generosity! Greg chose to keep the name Blueberry for our half blue eyed back girl and he named our grey girl, Bramble. 🥰

These poor girls are still so frightened they hide and freeze when I try to spend time with them. They do a little better once in my arms, but otherwise cower and won’t eat in my presence. We’ve got some work to do with them. Blueberry’s belly continues to bulge and I’m fairly sure now that I can feel babies. We are still accepting donations to help with their care as well as an expected upcoming litter. Any amount helps more than you realize! Thank you all for your continued support!

Update: after further examination, I now believe our grey Davisburg girl may have had her babies prior to being rescued. Sadly, babies born outside in these temps would not survive even if their mama was with them. Another reason it’s inhumane to release domestic rabbits into the wild to fend for themselves. Our black girl still appears quite “full” through her belly area. Keep following us for more updates.

Congratulations to Niko and Nickel (Now Sunny and Moon) for finding their forever home today! These adorable brothers were rescued as babies by Deanna three years ago. Deanna was a previous board member for RRR, fosters several of our buns, and is head of our search and rescue team. Her and her husband also rescue many bunnies themselves, caring for them out of their own pocket, and we are happy to help them find homes. We appreciate their efforts to help rabbits in need and today we are thrilled that one of their very special pairs has finally found their home sweet home.

Another congratulations goes out to Kiwi who seems to have found true love with a very sweet girl, Kiki. Kiki came in today looking for a husbun after losing her previous companion and it was love at first sight with Kiwi. The two hit it off so well, they were cuddling and grooming eachother as well as hopping around freely without even a hint of conflict during their bunny date. We always do meet and greets inside a bonding pen (with myself present for safety and to encourage positive interaction between buns) and we take our time with it. Rather than “speed dating” through a barrier, we allow the bunnies to meet without a barrier and take as much time as they need to decide how they feel about eachothers. Bunnies are like people, they don’t make up their mind about another bunny in the first few minutes of meeting, so rather than speed dating, we slow date. We let our bunnies set the pace. We want to be as sure as we can be that the two are compatible before sending them home together. And then we still do a foster to adopt, to allow for a trial period during the bonding phase. We don’t finalize the adoption until the bunnies are fully bonded and we are there to coach you through the process. Usually, even compatible bunnies will need some amount of redirection to ward off potential conflict and teach them how to respect each other’s boundaries. In Kiwi and Kiki’s case, they truly seem like a love at first sight pair who will need very little outside help to finish bonding so we anticipate Kiwi’s adoption will be finalized in the very near future.

Huge congratulations to our fabulous pair, Honey and Puff, who found their home sweet home with loving new bun parents in a 100% free roam home! Honey and Puff first came to us two years ago at approximately 7 weeks old with their 4 littermates. They were part of the Kalamazoo hutch dump case. Along with over 20 other rabbits, these poor sweeties were crammed like sardines in a hutch without food or water. When passerby’s complained, the owner of the hutch opened the door and let them all go stating “let the hawks get them!” With the help of , 28 bunnies were rescued. We took in 7 of them. Honey and Puff are the last two of those 7 to be adopted, 2 years later. It’s shocking that it has taken them so long to find a forever home considering their popularity. They have been part of our visiting bunny team for the past two summers and have accompanied us to countless school assemblies and nursing homes. Full of personality (and endless energy), they have been a favorite at all events. Because of how active they are, we required them to go to a free roam home. They simply are not happy being confined to a small space. We are so happy they have found the perfect home and wish them and their new bun parents all the happiness in the world!

I’m happy to report that our Capac bunnies are nice and warm! There is still more work to be done but the majority of the barn is now properly insulated and we are now bringing bunnies back who went to emergency foster homes. Huge thanks to everyone who helped us in any way during this “crisis” - as always, it takes a community to make a difference and we are so thankful for the wonderful bunny loving community we have! Total costs for this project have reached around $3000. We do not intend to be in this location past May and will likely remove most or all of the insulation to take with us when we go (unless our current landlords decides he wants to trade some rent for us to leave it). Thank you to those who have donated towards this great expense. We did take a financial hit and would appreciate any help in recovering what was spent. Feel free to donate directly on this post or via Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, cashapp, mail, or CC over the phone. Small donations are appreciated just as much as large donations.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
