All the bunnies I ever see are quite young, do any older bunnies ever pop up in rescue? My boyfriend likes the idea of offering an older bunny or bunnies a comfortable home for their twighlight years but I've never actually seen any older buns in rescue at all. :?
oldest I've seen is 3-4 years old, and he's laying next to me in bed :lol:
There is an 11 year old Californian in the rescue near me. He has been there since he was young though.

As sad as it sounds, rescues often cant advertise all their buns due to time constraints, so perhaps the less-rehomable ones (i.e the old ones) arent often put on databases such as RR and are instead kept sanctuary-style.
Have you tried contacting Alice at Windwhistle Warren? She has over a 100 bunnies, she must have some golden oldies.
EDIT : As I said, Alice doesnt have time to put hardly any of the buns on RR, but how about this guy, old enough? http://www.rabbitrehome.org.uk/moreinfo.asp?RabID=25369 There are some 4 year olds advertised too.
I often assumed rescues can't tell exactly how old a rabbit is so advertise them at around 4 years as it's sort of middle ground and not too old to put people off.
