We share any info from the exam and any treatment we needed to give--we won't adopt out unhealthy rabbits, and we use an exotics specialist. Just something to keep in mind when you look for a bunny! The shelter in IL does not vet check the rabbits; you should expect ear mites (though we gave them the first treatment dose when there) and potentially bite wounds in their remaining rabbits. We have a speed-dating approach to bonding rabbits so you can pick the best candidate from our bachelors/bachelorettes. That helps too--I know bonding isn't easy! FWIW, 200 rabbits have just been seized from an abuse case in Watseka, IL, and they may need homes soon (depends on court case). There may be lots of opportunities to help in the near future. There is a link to the news story on our main page at http://www.indianahrs.org Good luck! If you go through a rescue like ours (or certain shelters), the rabbit will have already seen a vet.

I may contact them regarding the lops. I have just hesitated on doing this in the past because I am always afraid of bringing health issues home to my bunnies. I did really want to get a buddy for my boy, I know he misses his best pal who we lost a while back. Right now I have a brother and a sister and I can't bond them to save my life! Both are fixed. The girl is really pretty mean to my boy...:( So I thought I would find another pal for him. Bonded bunnies are so cute together! I will definately give it some more thought and thank you very much for the links. Jeanine Hi Amy, Thanks for the info. on the bunnies. I may contact them regarding the lops.

I did really want to get a buddy for my boy, I know he misses his best pal who we lost a while back. Right now I have a brother and a sister and I can't bond them to save my life! Both are fixed. The girl is really pretty mean to my boy...:( So I thought I would find another pal for him. Bonded bunnies are so cute together! I will definately give it some more thought and thank you very much for the links. Jeanine Hi Amy, Thanks for the info. on the bunnies. I may contact them regarding the lops.

I have 2 french lops (brother and sister), had a 3rd one but he passed about a 1.5 ago. Please let me know, good chance I can take a 3rd as I have everything already for him. thanks.

I have 2 french lops (brother and sister), had a 3rd one but he passed about a 1.5 ago. Please let me know, good chance I can take a 3rd as I have everything already for him. thanks.

The bunnies you did help thank you. You could try cutting a hole in some of the shelter's workers' penis shafts. That might get their attention. Nice job, Amy. The bunnies you did help thank you.

We share any info from the exam and any treatment we needed to give--we won't adopt out unhealthy rabbits, and we use an exotics specialist. Just something to keep in mind when you look for a bunny! The shelter in IL does not vet check the rabbits; you should expect ear mites (though we gave them the first treatment dose when there) and potentially bite wounds in their remaining rabbits. We have a speed-dating approach to bonding rabbits so you can pick the best candidate from our bachelors/bachelorettes. That helps too--I know bonding isn't easy! FWIW, 200 rabbits have just been seized from an abuse case in Watseka, IL, and they may need homes soon (depends on court case). There may be lots of opportunities to help in the near future. There is a link to the news story on our main page at http://www.indianahrs.org Good luck! If you go through a rescue like ours (or certain shelters), the rabbit will have already seen a vet.

I may contact them regarding the lops. I have just hesitated on doing this in the past because I am always afraid of bringing health issues home to my bunnies. I did really want to get a buddy for my boy, I know he misses his best pal who we lost a while back. Right now I have a brother and a sister and I can't bond them to save my life! Both are fixed. The girl is really pretty mean to my boy...:( So I thought I would find another pal for him. Bonded bunnies are so cute together! I will definately give it some more thought and thank you very much for the links. Jeanine Hi Amy, Thanks for the info. on the bunnies. I may contact them regarding the lops.
