Jackalopes. Fictional, mythical creature, or realt animal? The truth may surprise you!

As if rabbits don't have enough strange illnesses plaguing them, they could contract something called Shope papilloma virus. Shope papilloma can cause keratin growths around the ears, face, and neck, often referred to as 'horns.'

Domestic and native species are suseptible, and is transmitted via biting insects. As there is no cure, the best way to protect your rabbit is by keeping them indoors.

If it wasn't for Cat, we wouldn't be where we are today. She has been a wealth of knowledge, and has always helped when we needed it. It is now time to return the favor.

You can donate to Zooh Corner, or her gofundme. Details in post.

Let's talk teeth!

Rabbit teeth are awful. Rabbit teeth are expensive. Rabbits have more that 4 front inscisors. Rabbit teeth, if not probably maintained, could lead to their death. And no, we're not being dramatic.

Unlike our teeth, rabbit teeth continue to grow, almost like fingernails. Hay as a main staple in their diet usually keeps overgrowth at bay, but there are so many factors on how they grind down.

Bracycephalic rabbits FREQUENTLY suffer from malocclusion, which is a fancy way of saying misaligned teeth. If their teeth don't line up, they may favor chewing on one side, allowing the other side to grow into sharp points that poke their cheeks and gums. Left untreated, it can cause ulcers and gi stasis.

Tooth root issues can lead to mandibular abscesses, which require very expensive, specialized surgery.

While the back molars are usually the problem, the front teeth can also overgrow! This could prohibit your rabbit from eating, or even opening their mouth at all.

How do you help keep your rabbit's teeth in check? Lots and lots of hay. Chew toys are a fun way to help. And as always, a rabbit savvy vet!

Last night, Meatball made his way from Washington back to Pennsylvania. His uncle Paul cared so much about his wellbeing, he booked a flight where he could fly in the cabin, and drove him to his new forever home. Miss Bunny’s Menagerie and PK Rabbit Program are two of the best nonprofits, and we are so proud to work with them.

Meet Maui!

Maui is a 5-6 year old neutered Dutch boy looking for a new home. Unfortunately, more and more landlords are not allowing pets, and people need to surrender their animals when a move is necessary. His family is moving and cannot take him with them. He is currently in the York area.

If you are interested in adopting this sweet man, please reach out to his owner, Stephenie, at [email protected].

A successful rescue would have no animals. We have failed miserably this year, so let's try to change some laws and work on having no animals next New Year's.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We couldn't do it without you❤️

There are still buns at the junkyard. Reesey, Sunny, Mooney, Wobbles, Barker, Terra, Potter and Gracie were all saved due to Ali's efforts, plus SO many other buns that went to other rescues. Let's help get these freshly trapped babies to their new rescue!

In August of this year I was contacted regarding three stray bunnies. A family had secured one of … Alison Boyle needs your support for Help Junkyard Bunnies!

We try to keep this page dedicated to rescue and education, but sometimes we need to peel back the curtain.

This is an incredibly hard post to make, but we need to honor a friend. Last Saturday, we lost a supporter, rescuer, rabbit advocate, and most importantly, a long time friend.

Anthony treated his rabbit, Meatball, like an absolute king. Meatball lived better than most people do. Anthony's love for him drove him to volunteer at both Peaceable Kingdom, and Bunny Brigade. He moved across the country, and never once considered leaving Meatball behind. Despite the distance, he continued to donate and cheer us on.

The last conversation I had with him was pretty telling of his character. I told him he donated too much, and he said it wasn't enough. I promised him he could name our next rabbit, but that time never came. Our latest intake has been named Anthony in his honor, but we'll make a separate post introducing him.

Hug your friends. Let them know they're important to you. We don't know how long we'll be here. We don't know how long they'll be here.

To be blunt, we'd be S.O.L. without our friends at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter! They constantly offer us support, either through supplies, advice, or just by lending an ear. They did such an amazing job with the 200+ rabbit hoarding situation. We are in awe of their dedicated team, and it is so nice to see them recognize their employees and volunteers!

Cosmo and Goldie LOVE to be challenged. Mixing puzzles and food is great mental stimulation, and they are all about it! Their foster sprinkles their breakfast pellets in the forage bin, and Cosmo hunts for them for hours!
