PSA HERE.
We are heartbroken to share that Sienna passed today. Cancer that had metastasized was discovered, and she crashed while recovering from her spay and surgery to remove the masses.
Sienna was found in a neighborhood after being out for several weeks and she came to us on February 2nd. It's devastating that she had such a short time in a proper home with love. She even had a loving couple excited to adopt her next week 😭😭😭
Please let this be a lesson. SPAY/NEUTER YOUR BUNNIES!!! ‼️‼️
😞 Unfixed female rabbits have about an 80% chance of uterine cancer.
😞 Unfixed male rabbits have about a 50-60% chance of testicular cancer.
It's disappointing that some vets who are not rabbit savvy will discourage the procedure. Always see a rabbit savvy vet. The risk of cancer is far greater than the risks associated with surgery. Having fixed close to 600 bunnies, we have lost only 4 to underlying conditions.
Two other bunnies in our care, Twila and Darby also had cancers removed last week during their spays.
Buns can get fixed at 6 months old. The risk of cancer greatly increases after about age 3. Don't wait.

The 7 floofs here are still waiting for furever homes! They are very inquisitive and friendly and come running for treats! We think they were mishandled when they were with a hoarder and they don't let us pet them. But they may come around with more one on one time. They do love to interact though and will hop on you 😆
The girls have been with us since August and are spayed. They can't to have families who can play with them more than we can. They need to be adopted in pairs because bunnies are happierand less stressed with a friend, and they will be more confident learning to trust you with another bun there. 💚
