Each year, about this time, we start seeing baby bunnies in the Shelter. This is often because people get a couple of baby bunnies for Easter and then a few months later one or both of these rabbits have a litter of babies. The gestation period for a bunny is only 30 days and they can become pregnant again in only half an hour after giving birth! These babies end up in local shelters like ours. We encourage people to spay and neuter their bunnies! This will not only prevent more bunnies but will also improve the behavior of the bunny. We currently have close to 40 rabbits and need to find them homes. If you’re interested, please come visit – especially on the weekends when our wonderful volunteers can introduce you to them. We partner closely with Save a Bunny to help us find placement for the many rabbits we get. Please consider donating to them.
