......who desperately need a place in a rescue centre?

Having got some rabbits reserved and going to their new homes over the next few weeks, I can take a small number of rabbits who are in need of finding a new home. They will go to the Mayhew Animal Home, where they will never be in a hutch, and have a rabbit friendly area to themselves of around 10 feet square. They will also have free run time in a secure garden, and of course all food and veggies supplied

I am also in the process of developing a dedicated series of runs in the garden, which will be secure and surrounded by logs and with loads of interesting things to do - for alternative entertainment during the daytime!

There is a vet on the premises and all rabbits will be neutered/spayed and vaccinated by the Centre. I co-ordinate the home visitors, and all homes are checked prior to rehoming.

Please contact me privately if you know of any needy rabbits...

AWW thats great that you've got new homes for buns and are ready for more!!! rescue centres do so much for rabbit welfare!! if i had space (or if my mum would let me) i would defo have a rescue centre! all my rescue buns just stay with me as i can't bare to give them up once they get here! Tis why i have 15!! but what gratifying work to be able to say i helped an animal find a loving home

There are loads of different things you can do. I've applied to be a rabbit cuddler (its a tough job but somebody has to do it... :roll: :lol: :lol: ) and cleaning out the rabbit cages/hutches/areas and feeding them etc. I'm sure there is more but not sure yet till I have my training.

Biridiebun, yes I might find a friend for Darcy - unfortunately they only have boys there at the mo though. All the girls are being snapped up! I'm going to be very careful this time though and make sure Darcy has "dates" with them first!!! :wink: :lol: Are you going to get Flash a girlfriend soon? :wink: xx

There are no free boys or girls now, Romy, just a couple of honey buns which I am trying to foster out before they are rehomed All the girls I took in a few weeks ago (Peggy Sue, Agnes and Sam) have been reserved!!

It is unlikely, though, that you will find a big bunny at the Mayhew! They hardly ever get them!!

Good luck with your volunteering!

I'm afraid I have no experience of running a rescue, but I know that Adele has given some fantastic info and help in the past

Lorna Field has also offered to help people with starting up their own rescue

Good luck with your ventures!

Hi Denny

Yes, the Mayhew are in contact with other rescues, and it would be great if they could take some rabbits from their waiting lists!

Or perhaps take some from rescues that have been there a while as they might rehome more easily in a new area. Then the original rescue could take in some newbies from their waiting lists. Sometimes an animal will be overlooked for no obvious reason but will home straight away in a different area..might be worth a try!

Thank you for all your suggestions!

I have been contacted with enough 'unwanted' bunnies now, and shall sort out admitting them to the rescue

Take care
