Bunlandia Rabbit Rescue and Rehab (2025)

26/08/2025

Last week, little Dani’s mom reached out to me when Dani started to show early signs of stasis. She was not interested in breakfast and seemed lethargic. I was able to go over and check Dani’s temperature and she was in a normal range and already starting to bounce back quickly after being given some simethicone (baby gas drops) and belly massages. When I was visiting Dani, I brought over a bunny basics kit so that her Mom would have some basic supplies on hand.

In the past, I have offered these bunny basics kits, but I no longer have any available. Is this something that anyone would be interested in purchasing if I were to offer them again? Each kit contains nail clippers, a small container of cornstarch (in the event of cutting the nail too short), a thermometer, vaseline (for the thermometer), baby gas drops, some critical care, and a syringe. While this kit is in no means a substitute for veterinary care, it does contain many things that are helpful to have on hand.

If enough people are interested, I will make them available as a preorder. I estimate that they will cost about $35.

It is with a profound sadness that I share the passing of our eldest sanctuary resident Snap.

Snap was a fixture in Bunlandia. In fact, she has lived here longer than Bunlandia has existed.

Snap first came into rescue through Hop Along Hollow where she was treated for dual eye infections that lead to her eventually needing both of her eyes removed. She initially came to stay with me in February 2020 as a foster with her first husbun Ontario, an elderly and often cranky Chinchilla. When Covid hit and Ontario’s health began to decline, he and Snap returned to Hop Along Hollow to receive care. Snap would return to me again in 2021 with her newest husbun Cosmo, an adorable and extremely food motivated lop with head tilt. Cosmo would pass on in February 2022. I had founded Bunlandia by then, so Snap officially remained as our newest sanctuary member. During her time in Bunlandia, Snap would enjoy time with Marge, Hera, Leo, and finally Ash who was her final husband, and I believe the love of her life. Snap and Ash loved each other dearly.

In recent months, Snap had begun to decline. Snap could no longer tolerate greens, had severe arthritis in her rear ankles and spine, and needed help expressing her bladder. Despite her body starting to fail her, Snap was attentive, sassy, and still very much herself. I would sometimes put her in the stroller and wheel her around the house to the rabbit room, and she loved it! She would perk up, and her nose and ears would just absorb everything she could not see. She made visits in the last few months back to her original “thumping grounds” to Hop Along Hollow as well, and I’m so glad she was able to spend time with Linda and the volunteers who remembered her.

Yesterday morning, Snap made it clear she was ready to go. We knew her time was coming, but it was still a shock that it had arrived. I was able to make an appointment for her that afternoon, and together with my husband and her little love, Ash, Snap crossed the bridge with a tummy full of banana and so much love. Snap was estimated to be 12 years old.

Say hello to all our friends Snap. We love you

Introducing our second intake this week…Maia!

We were notified of Maia while we were on our way home with Sorbet. When Animal Shelter Partnered with Hartford Police Department reached out to our sister rescue Everybunny Counts Rabbit Rescue , I just happened to be on I-84 in Hartford and got off the next exit. The timing could not have been better as when I arrived on the scene, the ACO let me know we had to move and move NOW! Three Flemish Giant babies were being kept in a wire bottomed cage on top of a wooden pallet in a driveway with zero shade besides a bunch of grass that was tied to the top of their cage. The stench was overwhelming. We loaded the whole thing into my van, and we left the scene to meet up with Everybunny and assess the bunnies. All of the Flemish Giant buns are approximately 12 weeks old and covered in bites, scars, and mats. They also all have ear mites, fur mites, and pinworms. As poor as their condition was, I am still amazed it wasn’t worse. The smell of their environment had us all certain we would find maggots on at least one of them. Gaia and Starboy are safe with Everybunny, and we have Maia, who is heavily pregnant.

Maia is understandably fearful of people, but she is starting to realize I am safe. I have been spending a lot of time just near her, and last night, she was comfortable enough to fall asleep. I have also observed her on camera playing with her toy, stretching out, and even caught her in a flop! This is likely the first time in her young life that she has ever felt safe. We expect her to give birth within the next week.

💋Two hot new bombshells have entered the villa...I mean the kingdom! 💋

While we are still technically closed to intakes, we were notified of two separate situations that we simply had to act on.

First up is little Sorbet, who comes from a heartbreaking situation we can not currently speak about. She is a lop mix who is barely 5 weeks old, too young to be away from her Momma. She is skinny and eating pretty much constantly. She is currently being treated for pinworms. Our sisters at Everybunny Counts Rabbit Rescue were able to get little Sorbet and another baby White Mocha to safety earlier in the week and hold Sorbet for us until our schedules aligned. We picked up Sorbet on Friday and unexpectedly rescued our other new girl, Maia, quite literally on the way home. You will meet Maia in a separate post.

Sorbet is currently doing well and loving her alfalfa hay. She will see the vet for a check-up later this week!

Our sweet Sydney has been off on a foster to adopt adventure and over the weekend she officially began her best adventure - adopted!

Sydney was born in Bunlandia after her parents Fig & Magnolia were caught outside. Sydney was the last of her family to find her forever home, but it was so worth the wait! All of Sydney’s siblings have been adopted either together or in the case of her brother Jack into a home where they have a bonded friend. It was very important to me that Sydney also find a bunny friend, but her happy ending is even better than I could have hoped for. Remember Sydney’s brother Jack? He has been living his best life with his bestie Hershey and when his parents reached out to see if a trio might be possible, I suggested they come meet Sydney. Jack and Sydney remembered each other right away and Hershey was so at ease with the thought of another friend! Their initial meet and greet went so well that Sydney was off on her foster to adopt adventure pending a successful bond.

I absolutely love that Jack came back to Bunlandia for his (twin) sister! Have the best life sweet babies!

OSCAR

Oscar came to Bunlandia in April 2025 after he and two other rabbits (also rescued by Bunlandia) were dumped outside during an eviction. All of the rabbits were malnourished, but Oscar was the worst by far and also suffered many wounds. Despite everything he has been through, Oscar remains a sweet and gentle soul. He absolutely melts for pets but also loves to play and explore. Oscar has healed wonderfully and gained a healthy amount of weight. Due to the neglect he suffered, we do not know his exact age, but estimate him to be anywhere from 1-3 years of age. He was recently neutered and is ready to find his very own forever home!

If you are interested in learning more about Oscar, send us a message or complete an adoption application here: https://form.jotform.com/213504453297052

**Vinnie Update**

Vinnie saw the vet on Thursday as we were suddenly no longer able to successfully express his bladder. We had been having a harder time than usual for a few days, but we were still able to eventually express him, but that all changed on Thursday morning. Vinnie spent the day at the vet and x-rays revealed that there was no blockage in his bladder and his bladder was extremely full. In short, this is the result of his nerve damage related to his spinal injury. Vinnie’s bladder sphincter is basically “locked shut” His blood work however is great and he is not in kidney failure, which initially was one of the Vet’s concerns. Vinnie had a catheter inserted into his bladder and they were able to get just under 300mL of urine out of his bladder! To put that in perspective, that is slightly less than a can of soda!

Unfortunately, this is likely to be a recurring issue with Vinnie. We are starting him on a medication that will hopefully help with his bladder tone and emptying. That medication needed to be specially compounded and is due to be delivered tomorrow. In the meantime, we have been able to empty his bladder over the weekend due to the lingering effects of the sedative used for the catheter and putting him back on gabapentin. He is likely to stay on gabapentin long term at this point. In addition, we are also starting back up on the assisi loop treatments, in hope that he has a beneficial response to that as well.

Vinnie gave us quite the scare on Thursday, yet he remains in good spirits! He is such a special little bun. If you would like to help with his ongoing expenses, such as his new $90 medication you can donate here:
