New Mobile Vet Team formed to support the Orphans

A dedicated group of vets and vet nurses have volunteered their time and skills to form a mobile clinic to offer desexing, vaccinations and microchipping for our orphans. The team has been put together by an experienced bunny savvy vet. This would not be possible without surgery space and we are most grateful to the Berwick Springs Veterinary Hospital for offering surgery space for our mobile team to perform these procedures. The bunnies all send you and the mobile team binkies for your generousity of heart.

Vet Clinics

As well as the Berwick Springs Veterinary Hospital, we would also like to thank the Melbourne Rabbic Clinic for their ongoing support in offering discounted services and along with Reservoir Vet Clinic, offering a free vet check for new owners adopting bunnies from the orphanage. The bunnies send lots of binkies to these vets and their wonderful staff for their generosity and their ongoing support for the bunnies.

Rabbit Runaway Orphanage Information Days

Our relationship with the Pet Barn stores has included information days, affording us a wonderful opportunity to talk to potential pet owners about appropriate rabbit care prior to purchase.

When Bunny Needs a Vet

 

If you find a bunny...

1. If you can easily catch the bunny, secure the bunny in a laundry or shed with fresh grass, hay and water. If you do not have hay then some grass, pellets and salad greens (no iceberg lettuce, cabbage or cauliflower though) will suffice for a day or so. The bunny must eat constantly or it can die.

2. Leave a note in your neighbors letter boxes or door knock to see if they have lost their bunny. Do not give a description of the bunny but wait for the owner to describe it to ensure they are really the owner.

3. Take the bunny to a vet to see if it is microchipped, then contact your local shelter - your council will be able to provide the location of your shelter. Check what will happen to the bunny if left at the shelter as some shelters will euthanaise and not keep and rehome the bunny.

4. If you cannot catch the bunny call your council or the RSPCA. If they cannot assist you, please call Rabbit Run-Away Orphanage for assistance.

5. While waiting for assistance, encourage the bunny to visit the same area by leaving water, pellets and fruit, vegetables in the same spot each day, as this will make it easier to catch.
