Resistance is futile.

Our big boy, Hamilton, had surgery on December 8th where our vet removed an abscess that weighed 0.8 pounds. He recovered well, but unfortunately the abscess has returned so he is having another surgery next week.

While we're bummed about this setback, we're celebrating that he now loves to eat hay, which he wouldn't eat when he first came to us.

He won't be available for adoption for at least a few months, but if you've ever wanted a 12 pound rabbit, keep him in mind!

It's never a bad time to make sure that your rabbit is on a healthy diet. Make sure that they have unlimited access to hay and that you aren't overfeeding pellets and treats.

Rico is a year old lively & energetic boy.
He loves to explore and is very affectionate. He's also very active so his new home should plan on providing a lot of room for him to run around in.
He loves boxes and enjoys playing with toys, especially things with bells.

Rico is neutered and vaccinated for RHDV2. His adoption fee is $95. If you would like to provide a forever home, please submit an application at bit.ly/NMHRSadoptionapp

Alexa, play "Big Boys" by SZA

Meet our newest medical foster, Hamilton, who is 13.5 pounds with a grapefruit-sized abscess on his side. He was abandoned at a vet clinic on Columbus Day and unfortunately held there for a month while staff tried to figure out how to help him. Our friends at Haven For Hamsters recognized that he couldn't stay there so they took him home and then called our Chapter Manager who immediately got him an appointment with our rabbit-savvy vet.

Hamilton is now being fostered by us and has surgery scheduled for Thursday. He'll then undergo the weeks-long healing process that abscesses require. Getting a Flemish Giant to let us open and clean out his abscess every night is certainly going to be an adventure, but we're looking forward to seeing this guy be the right shape again.

Many of you have met our Chapter Manager, Kirstin, but you may not know some of the amazing accomplishments she's executed. Check out this interview she did with Canvas Rebel that highlights some of her wonderful work.

Being Chapter Manager is a volunteer position. We are so lucky to have someone as badass as Kirstin!

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kirstin Tyler a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below. Hi Kirstin, thanks for joining

Hutches and cages should be illegal! Rabbits thrive as free-roam pets (just like cats!) but if you need to keep yours contained, their space shouldn't be any smaller than 4'x6'.

Looking for a bunny who has endless potential for love? Look no further than Blanco, a young (~6 months old) Californian rabbit who would love to make his way into your home. He is shy at first and wary of new people but his boundless curiosity has lead him to gain trust in people who are patient and willing to let him warm up to them.

He loves running around and his binkies are thunderous -- sure to bring joy to your heart. He will need a good place to hide while he gains trust in you and lots of hay -- Blanco loves nothing more than a pile of fresh hay. He would also make a great partner to another rabbit in a bonded pair!

Blanco is neutered and vaccinated for RHDV2. His adoption fee is $95. If you would like to be his forever home, please submit an application at bit.ly/NMHRSadoptionapp
