I have been having terrible luck with the rabbit rescues near me. I only know of 2 within a 50 mile radius, and one of them was just terrible when I visited. The other I haven't visited, but they always take over two weeks to reply to an e-mail I send, and the reply is generic and only vaguely answered my questions.
I put Eddison on a type of freecycle thing, with very angry instructions that he would need someone who knows rabbits and has plenty of time and would need to provide a certain cage size and fresh veggies etc. I got this as a reply today:
"Hello!
I have a mini bunny rescue that I run from my house (no, I am not a 501c). I currently have 8 bunnies that I have rescued and some have been severely neglected. I do NOT rehome these bunnies or adopt them out. They are MY PETS forever. Under no circumstances would I ever let one of my buns go. Therefore, your bunny would have a forever home with me. I am 29 years old, and in all my life I have NEVER ever had to give away any animal that I've ever had (including dogs and cats).
I have a five bedroom house in Seattle. I currently keep some bunnies outside when it is warmer, but most of them inside with me. They usually have free roam of the house unless they "choose" otherwise. For example, I have a set of two love buns that consider the bathroom their home. They love it there.
I have an all organic garden that I feed my bunnies from daily. I am also growing a separate garden for them so that they can run around outside in the garden and eat and poop and eat and poop within a caged area. I also shop at our local Farmer's Market for fresh organic greens for my buns.
My bunnies are very spoiled. I drive to Cle Elum to buy a bale of hay and my husband is constantly making them cardboard houses that they love.
I spend my own money on these buns (I just had two fixed this week so that I can give them a mate) and I love them dearly. They are held and petter and talked to everyday and I would NEVER get rid of one under any circumstances. I have been bitten several times from some of my more timid guys but that just means that I have to love them even more.
I have a local vet that specializes in bunnies that I take mine to. They are aware that I take in neglected and unwanted bunnies (I know that this is NOT the case with you) and they are very helpful to me.
I promise you that Eddison would be well cared for and loved. You could even visit him also. I can also email updates and what not. I am college educated and work for my family law firm. I am also very close with the Seattle Animal Shelter bunny experts there for whenever I have a question. They know of my rescue and give me their bunnies that they cannot place anywhere else.
As you can see I have many bunny back-up people that I sometimes use for support for the well being of my bunnies.
Please let me know if you think that Eddison would do well at my house. He would stay in our bedroom for awhile to settle in and then I would slowly ease him into the rest of the house. I know that bunnies do very well with a mate so I would find a special girl that would love him as much as I do."
I never expected such a response off a freecycle thing! It really sounds wonderful to me, and I'm really excited to visit and see what the place is like. I hope that it might be a good place for Eddison to go.
