Rescue Buns' Accommodation

Captain Helen · May 10, 2012

Time for a little guided tour of where the rescue buns live, for anyone that's interested :wave:

This is the bun shed on the left, and the 'office' on the right. (The guy that lived here before me used it as an office, and the name has stuck!)

The two runs on the left are about 7x3 and the two on the right are 6x3.

These are the pens in the office, they're 8x3...

This is where Lucky and her four babies live...

Bronte's pen...

Smudge's pen...

Fudge's pen (he was outside in the run when this pic was taken)...

These are the four pens inside the bunshed, they're 6x3 and have catflaps with 24/7 access to the runs...

Poppy and Tulip's pen (yes, they have destroyed the lino!)...

Milly and Carrot's pen...

Sweep's pen...

Smokey's pen...

The indoor pen (an old pic from when foster bun Noel was here)...

The two sheds and runs where my buns live...

The smaller run on the left is shared by the buns that live in the office.

Hope you enjoyed the guided tour of Acomb Rabbit Rescue! :wave:

ETA: I've just noticed that I forgot to rotate some of the pics.

My head must have been on sideways that day. :lol: Soz!

Oh yes, lots of banging and screwing

I have the blisters to prove it! :lol:

I couldn't have made it all without the help of my dad

It's been difficult even with two of us! Those big shed panels are really heavy!

There are currently 11 adults and 4 babies here. Nine of the adults are vaccinated and neutered and ready to be adopted.

Lucky and her babies will be done when they're old enough and the babies are weaned, and the new boy Humbug will be neutered tomorrow.

I always thought you couldn't be a rescue unless you had acres of land to house 50-100 bunnies. But then I realised that every little helps

I have the time, I had the savings to start it all off, and I have the support of my parents. There are no other rescues in York (except the RSPCA), so hopefully I can get the name out there and raise some funds. Maybe I could even use fosterers one day. I just needed to something to give my life a purpose. If I can help a few buns on their journey to a better life, I'm happy.

Looks great, where did you get the Lino from ?

Captain Helen · May 10, 2012

Thank you

The lino in the shed I got from Freecycle. It was two odd shaped pieces in different colours, so it's a bit patchwork

but it makes it easy to sweep and it was free

The piece in Lucky's pen was an offcut I got for £20 from CarpetRight. I'm on the lookout for more free or cheap lino for the other two pens.

It's going well

I rehomed 4 in a week to great homes... And then nothing for the last few weeks. Just when I was starting to get optimistic. I need to work on spreading the word locally. All the enquiries I've had so far have come from Rabbit Rehome.

Maple and Treacle were rehomed to a lovely family in Leeds, where they have their own room and a nice enclosed garden for supervised free range time. On the last photos they sent me Maple looked like he'd had a growth spurt! They were little stunners, I knew they'd get snapped up quickly.

This may be a stupid question but for the Lino from carpetright did you just go in and ask about whether they had any Lino offcuts available or did you email etc
