Fiona gave birth to nine kits, each about 4” long, on July 20, 2010. She had been abandoned and there was evidence that she had given birth 4-6 weeks before she was rescued. She is a dark chocolate-brown mini-rex who loves people. She is mellow and looks forward to naps laying on the back of your neck while you watch TV. Fiona has found a forever home and will be moving there as soon as her kits are big enough to be separated from her.

We will be posting updated photos of the babies regularly, so please come back and visit us.

During oppressive 95 degree heat in mid July we were called to assist with a rescue in Central NY. A backyard “pet” setup had gone awry. Originally starting with one unneutered male and one unspayed female, over a year there had been litter after litter after litter. The rabbits were being housed outside, in a semifenced area near a shed, with a tiny hutch, living in the dirt. They were so crowded that they were tunnelling in different directions. Aside from a profound urine smell, and layers of feces, we were informed that they’d never been fed pellets or hay. They’d been subsisting on grass and stale pizza.

Many of the litters had not survived.

That day and the next, we collected 18 rabbits. A 19th had gotten out and been killed by the family’s dog prior to the rescue. All were set up, marked, sexed, and settled in comfortably in temporary digs at a local shelter /sanctuary, which was already overloaded with rabbits for adoption. That weekend, one of the females had a litter of 4. There are possibly 2 other females in late pregnancy.

Several of these rescues were moved to foster space with THE Rabbit Resource. The smallest babies, who are about 4-5 weeks old, are pictured here. HRN of Mass stepped in and took 2 mature males who are bonded and the mama and newborns into foster care. We are still seeking foster homes for the remaining rabbits. If you are interested please fill out an application from our website and email to the chapter manager.

The babies with THE RR will be available for adoption around mid-September. We’d much prefer that they be adopted as pairs, as they are very bonded, but we will , of course, consider single adoptions. Adopters will have to work with us on a 1:1 basis to arrange to have their buns spayed and neutered when they are old enough at a veterinarian who works with us. Adoption fees will be adjusted based upon arrangements.

Enjoy the photos of these lovely babies.
