a rabbit
Sometimes, when rabbits arrive into our care, it becomes clear they have health issues. At Rabbit Rescue North West, we have a number of resident rabbits that stay with us for life. Below you will see several rabbits and why they will remain in our care.
You can help us, by sponsoring a rabbit for a year. In return you will receive a certificate, a branded keyring and photo of the rabbit you have sponsored. To sponsor a rabbit for a year we ask for Β£30. You can even choose which rabbit you would like to sponsor.
Every penny donated through sponsorship will be spent on food, vet treatment when required and treats.
Archie
Archie arrived in rescue in March 2023. He came into our care after his owner had passed away and he was left behind to fend for himself. Sadly, Archie arrived with a sore eye, a blocked tear duct, under weight and also requiring a dental. Sadly, he continues to battle an ongoing abscess on his cheek, and has bone disease in his face and no teeth on one side. In addition to this he also has a tear duct that no longer functions. Despite all this Archie loves nothing more than his food, toys and finding a comfy spot to have a snooze in his foster mummy’s home.
Noah
Noah is estimated at around 5 years old. He has been with us since April 2022 after he was found as a stray and handed into a vets in a very poorly state. Noah had a severe upper respiratory tract infection and suffers with terrible anxiety as a result of what he has been through. We donβt know what Noahβs life long needs will be with his breathing and anxiety and therefore will remain in our care. He has been neutered and fully vaccinated with us After lots of time and care from the rescue Noah has gained weight, condition and confidence. He is very settled and happy, constantly showing us his cheeky and mischievous side and now enjoys playing outside. He is a very sweet bunny who makes it clear what and who he likes and dislikes! He is currently being bonded with a female as a companion.
Phoenix
Phoenix (left) came into the rescue with ulcers on her eyes. It required a lot of repetitive treatment, and she now has slight scarring on her eyes. Though this doesnβt bother her, she came a resident so we could keep watch of her and provide any treatment she will require in the future.
Phoenix was happily bonded with her husbun Twix but at 11 he has now sadly passed over the rainbow bridge. Phoenix is currently in bonding with her potential new husbun Marbles, he was returned to the rescue recently after owners had to move away. He is recently bereaved and desperate for a new wife in Phoenix.
The Trio
Delta was one of our fosterers first rabbit who unfortunately ended up going to a home which resulted in her losing a leg. She came back to the rescue, unfortunately at the same time her two sons did.
Due to housing requirements for a tripod bunny, it was decided she become a resident with her sons to live out her days safely, and to keep the little family together. Delta manages fine, but in the future may develop health conditions due to her missing a leg. She will receive everything she needs along with her sons, Oscar and Charlie.
Lenny
Lenny was originally adopted out by the rescue when he was just 6 months old after coming into the rescue with Mum and siblings. Sadly, Lenny was brought back at the age of 6 with his bun wife at the time Georgie through no fault of their own. Β Both had extremely over grown nails causing sores to Lenny’s paws, he also started to show signs of possible arthritis in his back legs. After a few visits it was discovered he had a previous break or fracture to his back leg causing him to really struggle to get in and out of trays or ramps. Unfortunately his partner Georgie died very unexpectedly, Lenny needed adapted housing to help his legs and so he was made resident in his foster home. His foster family love him so much and he has the best human little sister to take care of him. Lenny loves his treat ball, comfy blankets and flopping near the fire in the winter.
Jelly
Jelly came into rescue via one of our vets after her old owner couldnβt afford her vet bills after a badly broken leg requiring amputation was diagnosed while she was still a young bunny, so she signed her over to the vets.
A resident ever since, Jelly is a typical Netherland Dwarf, full of fire and character, she has an addiction to strawberry hearts and trust me, she can count to six. Woe betides me if she doesnβt get her full allocation when she has her morning treat.
At almost seven and all her life as a tripod, she likes to take things very easy, she loves her timothy hay, ikea beds (she has two) and of course, her husbun Strawberry who loves snuggling her just as much as she loves snuggling him.
Henry
Henry came to our rescue via another rescue we work closely with. He was taken from a hoarding situation, when he was seen in a small hutch with badly overgrown and maloccluded incisors which he since has had removed. Henry suffers with seizures, and is a regular dental bun which we keep at bay with yummy timothy hay and fiber first sticks.
Henry lives with his bunwife Alice who failed to find a home due to the fact she is really quite fearful and unfriendly with humans, her pet name is Feral Alice, and while she might not like me and I regularly get bitten, she adores Henry so thatβs all that matters.
