⚠️ Content Warning ⚠️

It was unexpected and fast.. we lost Vader.
Jules took him to the vet with his trusted Sir Charles Whitepaw because he couldn’t p*e.
Paraplegic rabbits and their bladders are a constant battle. We’ve lost a majority of our paraplegic buns to a bladder situation. And sadly our beautiful Vader Bader Boy faced a bladder full of sludge. This is due to immobility and a build up calcium, something unavoidable in handicapped rabbits. Unfortunately it doesn’t leave any room for urine to pass through. Our poor baby passed gently in Jules arms on the way to the emergency vet.
Vader came to us with Padme, unfixed. We separated them until we got their stuff done, but he was so obsessed with his wife he scaled his cage to get to her and accidentally fell the wrong way. Thus, he began his handicapped journey. He came so far. He started off not being able to do anything without help. Not even p*e. But with Monster Mom’s love and hard work, we got him better. We got him able to move a bit. We got him p*eing independently. We got his toes to flex. We got him Vi and Charles to love…
We love Vader and I know he loved us.
We really tried buddy. Forgive us.

Friendly reminder that not only are peach and pumpkin cute AF, they have been waiting for a home for a REALLY LONG TIME, and also their adoption fee was sponsored… they’re up to date on vaccines, and obviously all other vetting. These bunnies are hilarious to watch, have tons of personality, like to be in close to proximity to humans for socialization and want nothing more than an actual forever home. We love their foster to death but it’s TIME. Please please share if you’re not in the position to adopt these freaks🖤🖤

Jules here! I want to start off by saying we SO APPRECIATE anyone who donates financially or supplies. We truly wouldn’t be okay with yall. However it came to my attention that a donation was dropped off on the porch of a home I no longer live in.

I just want to say that any Michigan address anyone has for me personally is no longer current. (The wishlists go to the correct Michigan addresses!) We love donations and if anyone would like to make one PLEASE message the rescue so that they can coordinate a pickup or drop off location that isn’t someone’s house that doesn’t work with the rescue in any capacity. Thank you so much for the thought whoever that was. I truly do appreciate it, I just wanna make sure going forward we dont have any more mishaps like this one, hence this public post.

Rabbits

We talk about them all the time. But we don’t really talk about people. Namely, you people.
You fu***ng awesome people. Yes yes yes it’s sappy to say, but we really can’t do what we do without a communities support system and all that blah. But it’s the truth, just look at some of these fluffs we’ve saved:

Oatey, Violet, Isuzu, Elvira, Vader, Jpeg & Pixel, Copper, Franklin, Biscuit & Caelan, Chip and Nesty.

And that’s not all of them. We saved hundreds from all tragic situations. Even the ones we couldn’t save fully (RIP angel babies in heaven), we gave them everything we could. This is what your support does. It gives a bunny everything.

At the end of the day, we wouldn’t be able to anything without generosity from you.

🙋‍♀️ If you can’t donate on this giving Tuesday, please share this post. For all the buns waiting out there waiting to be saved!

Hey everyone. Jules here!! The team back in Detroit is always in need of supplies since 150% of the donations go to vets🫠😵‍💫

I added some deals on stuff to help stock them up and make sure everyone with a Hay Monster (or 10) has good emergency medical supplies on hand! Since it’s there are sales til dec 4!!!! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/K8X9IZ7TRMPV/?ref_=lol_ov_le

Instead of focusing on all the turkey genocide that’s happening today, we would like to share what we are truly thankful for: rabbits (and our supporters!)
I’m most thankful for my first rabbit, Cinnabun, he’s the one who started it all for me, Auntie Meghan. He’s 8 years old now and everyday I thank the universe for introducing us. He taught me that bunnies give the best kissies, make the funniest memories and that they’re always there for you.
We invite you to share photos/memories of your beloved bunnies and ask you to share what about them you are most thankful for.

🐰Thank you, rabbits, for being the best creatures ever 🐇

And as always if you have a dollar or something to donate we will utilize it to help rabbits in need!! ⤵️

❄️ Rabbits & Cold Weather PSA 🐇
It's that time of year, again. In the last 3 weeks, we have seen rabbits dumped in Southgate, Taylor, Dearborn, Hamtramck, Royal Oak, Warren and Detroit. We helped catch several and secured placement for a few others (special thanks to Rabbit Angels Rabbit Rescue for stepping up while we are on intake hold).
But it's getting really cold, guys, so we need to say this:

DOMESTICATED RABBITS ARE NOT WILD RABBITS. They CANNOT survive freezing temperatures like the wild rabbits you see in your neighborhood. Domestic rabbits are descendents of species that originated in Europe. They require temperatures between 55-70° F. Freezing temps can cause upper respiratory infections, frostbite, nerve damage, hypothermia, and death. (2nd and 3rd pics are, unfortunately, past examples of frostbite that we've dealt with 😔).

With that being said, we have also seen several pet stores irresponsibly selling rabbits, likely fueling this abandonment. How, you ask?

1. RABBITS NEED TO BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. Pet stores don't do this because they'd lose money. It cost ~$200-450 at an exotic vet. Without sterilization, your rabbit is likely going to have a destructive, anti-social temperament. They will be prone to digging, chewing, urine marking, and destroying everything in your home. Unspayed buns are also more susceptible to developing cancer. 60-80% will end up with uterine, ovarian, or mammary cancer by 3 years old.
Last but not least: They do better, emotionally, with a friend but they reproduce ...like rabbits. Their gestation is only 33 days and they can become pregnant with another litter WHILE pregnant or immediately after birth. Rabbit "explosions" where 2 turn into 30 are all too common.

2. THE CAGES. The cages sold by pet stores are too small. We recommend a minimum 4'x4' exercise pen, or "free-roaming". If you have a proper set-up and a fixed rabbit, you easily can train them to use a litterbox. A rabbit poops 200-300 pellets a day. Without litter training, that's a big expense and LOTS of cleaning most people won't want to deal with.
Another type of cage, outdoor hutches, are terrible in general but rabbits can and DO freeze to death in them. Yes, some "have done it before and their rabbit was fine", but we can assure you not all are that lucky.

Please, don't impulse buy rabbits. There are so many waiting for forever homes that have already been fixed and litter trained. You can also foster for a local rescue to see if a rabbit is a good fit for you. We are always looking for fosters!

IF YOU HAVE A RABBIT YOU CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR/WANT- PLEASE, we are begging you, do not throw them outside! Try some of the advice we have listed here to improve your situation. If you must rehome, contact your local rescues & shelters. Please help us spread the word to keep more rabbits safe this winter. Thank you! 🖤

Hi all! Jules here! Everyone’s doing great here in SC🖤🖤 the Monsters in Detroit have been really racking up the bills though. The team is doing really great work getting rescues done and helping support people who are finding strays. I’m really proud of them, but they really are in a big financial situation. I understand, because I always hated begging for money, but the situation is that about $17,000 in debt now. $9000 to the vet and $8000 on the credit card.

It’s embarrassingly bad, and at this point closing isn’t even an option even if they wanted to. Because there’s no way to pay all that back. We need donations. We need fundraisers. We need ideas if any of our followers can help us in anyway whether it’s direct donations or if you have some thing we could raffle off or if you have an idea for a fantastic event.. anything. 😓🖤

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
Not sure who sent all of these carriers, but they heard our plea and came to the rescue… in bulk! Padme is testing them out and have given them a HMRS approval! For anyone who sends us goodies- we would like to know who you are so we can send you a proper thank you note/sticker. I know sometimes I can’t figure out how to leave a note with an Amazon package because I’m technologically challenged, so even just a quick DM works too!
Thank you again, mysterious rabbit loving person!!

💫We got some family drama y’all.
Nebula has decided he hates his mom, Aurora. We don’t know why or what changed, but they’ve started fighting and she’s dead to him. Before one of them actually kills the other, we separated him from his family.
Now, we run into the problem of needing a new foster to house him. He’s a single beautiful rabbit that’s already neutered and COMPLETELY HEALTHY! If you can foster, please reach out!! If you have a rabbit who wants a friend, ADOPT HIM! He really is a sweet boy, just doesn’t want his family crushing his cool vibes you know?

Welcome to the Upside-down world that is ruled by our own Mistress of Darkness; Elvira.
In these crazy times, sometimes the world feels a lot like how Elvira must view it: Upside-Down.
But we can’t let this get us down! Elvira makes use of it by flipping over and getting the best position for Monster Mom Jill to pet and love on her.
Let’s take a chapter from Elvira and try to make the best of these wacky days!
Oh also, donations are great, we are in massive debt whoops.

Guess who went to the vet this evening?! This girl!..and... and me, since I had the pleasure of meeting Lola and some of the family she is very clearly trying to claim as her own. 😈
The good news: what was a suspected lump was actually a big ol' ni**le. This girls got some prominent ones (meaning she was unfortunately likely bred not too long ago). But no signs of currently being pregnant so that's good (cross your fingers it stays that way 🤞🏻)! And no dental issues! 🎉 She was also estimated to be about 2 years old- so still pretty young.
The bad: She has a pretty yucky ear infection in one ear. And her eye cataract could be from E. Cuniculi, so we sent out bloodwork to test for that. She was sent home with some ear cleaner, ear drops and oral medication.
She has a recheck in two weeks, and as long as the ear infection has improved we can move onto scheduling her spay!
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone that donated or shared! Lola may not have been impressed with the vet by the end of her visit, but she will be feeling much better soon, thanks to you! 🐇
