* River has been adopted by an amazing person! You can follow all her adventures in her new home at @panizzis_pets on Instagram. Congrats River! *

Someone abandoned seven baby rabbits on the doorstep of a vet clinic in Oakville. Oakville Humane Society was called and the bunnies were transferred to the shelter. OHS was already packed to the brim with rabbits, including a mom and her babies who had been abandoned in the exact same way earlier in the month. They reached out to us for help, and we were able to take four babies into our care. Please help us in welcoming River, Rain, Rutabaga, and Radish! They’re adorable bunnies, and very sweet.

The bunnies were given a clean bill of health at their vet visit, and we had them spayed and neutered.

River is very friendly and will happily come running to greet anyone she meets. She is free roaming in a spare room at her foster home. River is pretty good about being picked up, but it’s not her favourite thing. She much prefers head pets with all four feet on the floor. It took her a while, but she is now 100% litter box trained. She is a great candidate for free range living in a rabbit proofed home. River enjoys daily veggie snacks, and she loves to run and hop all around her room.

Rabbits need lots of space…

Our fostered rabbits are housed in x-pens or similar enclosures so they have lots of room to move around when they aren’t out for floor time. Some of our rabbits live in a spare room of the home, or are free range in their foster home.

Commercially made pet store rabbit cages are far too small to allow rabbits to stretch out and move around with ease.

Here are some great websites and photos outlining alternative rabbit housing using x pens and similar enclosures.
