Ask questions to ensure prospective caretakers know and are prepared to provide whatever it takes to keep a rabbit happy and healthy.(They’re on our “Links” page and can tell you where to find a copy, or call 81 to find a supplier near you.) You can find them by vet/humane society referral, online, or pick up a copy of The Pet Press for a complete listing. Get your rabbit’s flyer to as many rescue groups as possible. Post the flyer in vet offices (especially exotic vets as rabbits are technically considered an exotic pet) and pet stores or anyplace else you think will attract a good home.(If they’re not willing to pay for a fixed and socialized rabbit, chances are they wouldn’t pay for medical care either.) You can charge more if your rabbit is fixed. Charge a minimum of $20.00 due to the dangers listed in #3. Make a flyer of your rabbit with a picture and a description of his physical appearance and personality traits.People look for these ads to find snake food, bait for fighting dogs, and animals to sell to labs. If the rabbit has been abused he may take a little extra love and patience to make him see that not all humans will hurt him. Considering all the benefits it’s a worthwhile expense. Expect to pay $45.00 and up for neuter and $65.00 and up for spay. Ask your local vet, rescue group, or humane society for a referral. There are low-cost spay/neuter clinics all over. This greatly increases the chances for being accepted into a rescue group, eliminates the risk of more unwanted rabbits, and cuts down on undesirable behaviors (such as biting, mounting, standoffishness, spraying, destructiveness, poor litterbox habits), and the risk of cancer in the reproductive organs. Here are some tips that will help you get your rabbit safely re-homed: But please be aware it could take anywhere from a week to months to get your rabbit into the rescue system. You could get lucky and contact us (or another group) just when we get an opening. Please understand we are too, but we deal with a minimum of 10 to 25 calls/emails PER DAY concerning unwanted rabbits and we do the best we can to save as many as possible. You’re obviously trying to do the right thing. I’m hoping this will help YOU understand why as well. I’m the lady on the phone now, telling people the exact same thing I was told, only now I understand why. For every rabbit we save there are countless others we can’t. I have volunteered for many rabbit groups since then and what I’ve learned is that most of us are usually understaffed, underfunded, overworked, and overwhelmed. I said “How can you call yourself a rescue when you’re telling me to take her to the pound?!” and hung up, furious.įinding Spiny Norma led to my education and awareness of the huge homeless rabbit problem no one seemed to know/talk/care about. One lady even told me to take her to the pound if I couldn’t keep her until finding her a home.

(I’m certain the bookcase Spiny took the place of could never have given me the joy and love she has.) Every group told me they were full and couldn’t take her. I knew nothing about caring for a rabbit and thought I had no place to put her. After getting her medical needs taken care of I started calling rescue groups to take her off my hands. Twelve years ago I rescued a rabbit from a pet store where she was being cannibalized by another rabbit. Search Articles: Submit Search Close Search Favorites
