Kirkby Animal Rescue has taken 40 bunnies in over the last 2 weeks and this has now pushed the numbers up to well over 100. All these are in quarantine as some may be pregnant and they will be looking for new homes in the future.
If she hadn't taken them in they would have ended up anywhere, they were being given to children for free
If you are thinking of adopting a bunny, and could take one, or a pair (most are bonded in pairs, trios etc) from the other bunnies that are already in the rescue, in order to free up space, please contact Celia direct on 01623 753883
The rescue is in Kirkby in Ashfield (just off junction 28 M1) which is on the outskirts of Nottinghamshire.
Also things that are needed are:
Hasps and staples
Waterproofing (covers etc)
Any cleaning materials, (disinfectant, kitchen rolls, black bags, gloves, etc)
Roofing felt
Wire mesh
Nails/screws
Weatherproof paint - urgent one, if anyone has any spare (pet safe of course)
She uses Johnsons Rabbit mix for feed
If anyone would like to make a donation towards vet bills I can get the name and address of the vets to make a direct payment.
Time if anyone can volunteer a few hours, even if it's not on a regular basis, every little helps, with this many rabbits to care for and hutches to clean, it can be easy to miss a bunny who is not well.
