The Mission of Luv-N-Bunns:
- Rescue domestic rabbits from abandoned stray situations, kill shelters, private relinquishments and hoarding cases
- Provide nurturing foster homes that will ensure proper care, shelter and love for each animal in our foster network
- Provide necessary veterinary care including spay/neuter surgery
- Screen applications to find perfect forever homes for each rabbit that we rescue
- Host outreach events in the community to provide education and information on the proper care of domestic rabbits
We stress the importance of neutering and spaying all rabbits to reduce the ever-growing population of unwanted rabbits and to prevent highly prevalent reproductive cancers in unfixed rabbits. Since our inception in 2007, we have accomplished our mission by saving the lives of almost 2,000 abandoned rabbits. However, the over-abundance of unwanted domestic rabbits keeps us working toward our goals, year after year.
Together we can accomplish our mission. Reach out today if you’d like to help!
Below are some of our latest Facebook updates:
Luv-N-Bunns
Rescue and placement for abandoned bunnies in the Philadelphia area. We take in rabbits who are no longer wanted, have been abandoned, and/or have been abused. Once cleared by our vet, we have them neutered/spayed and find new, loving homes for each. In addition, we host various events to educate people about rabbits and their needs.
Tomorrow is the last day to enter our contest with Kristen Kidd Photography! Five lucky people will win a $500 gift certificate toward your very own bunny photo experience - and one person will win a $1000 gift certificate! Kristen is very generously donating a portion of the proceeds from these sessions back to LNB, so you will help the bunns AND get beautiful keepsake photos to treasure at the same time. Hop over to this link to send in your submission: https://kristenkiddphotogr.wixsite.com/campaigns. It will be an experience to cherish!
BUNNY CARE CORNER
Hi there, friends! How's everyone doing today? My apologies for being a day late with my column. The snow at the beginning of the week messed up my Ma's marketing schedule, and so she spent yesterday morning trying to find me some delicious greens to eat. You probably know by now that Ma also serves as my assistant (sometimes these furry paws just can't manage to hit the right letters on the keyboard!), so that means I'm here to chat with you today instead. So without further ado, here are the answers to last week's bunny care trivia questions!
1. How many teeth do rabbits have?
A: 28! Can you even believe that many teeth can fit into our little mouths? But they can, and they do. It's important to have your bunn's vet check on those teeth at appointments, because there are some rabbits who are prone to getting points and spurs - often on the molars - and so they will need to be trimmed by the vet.
2. What does it mean when a bunny periscopes?
A: This is when a bunn stands up on his or her back two paws and looks around. It usually means a rabbit is curious about its surroundings and/or that there's something to explore. It can also mean that he or she senses a treat is nearby. As you surely have guessed by now, us bunnies are really good at that. Really, REALLY good.
3. Why should domestic bunnies live indoors?
A. There are so many reasons. Domestic rabbits do not have the same sort of survival skills as wild rabbits, which makes it dangerous for them to live outdoors. There are predators outside - like hawks, for example - along with dangers such as cars, pesticides, and weed killers. Along with that, RHDV has been documented in several western and southern states since last year, and then there is the simple fact that extreme temperatures are not good for rabbits. Plus, us bunnies want to be part of the family! We should always, always, always live inside with you.
4. What is the biggest and most important part of a bunn’s diet?
A: Hay! Hay should be 80% of your rabbit's diet. It is super important when it comes to keeping us healthy - it helps keep our teeth worn down and our digestion moving along as it's supposed to.
5. How often should a bunny be seen by a rabbit-savvy vet?
A: At least once a year, and many people opt for twice a year once a rabbit gets older. Well visits are so important. They give you a baseline for your bunn so that you have something to compare to. Plus, because rabbits are prey animals, we often hide any signs of not feeling well. Having your bunny seen by a rabbit-savvy vet helps to identify any issues so you can tackle them.
A big thank you to those of you who played along, and also to everyone who shared stories of your bunns being mischievous! I am already planning ways to try those things out with Ma. 🙃
Until next time ...
Nose boops and binkies,
Jasper Jellybean 🐰
P.S. This picture is a throwback, since it is #ThrowbackThursday and all. It's one of Ma's very favorites of me, and it shows what a periscoping bunn looks like!
