Hello, Fritz here again. Just an update from our holiday home. Think of this as like a postcard, except hopefully you’ll read this before we get home, unlike postcards which arrive 6 weeks later.
Unfortunately the weather has not been as nice this week so we’ve not played out as much, but we’ve still had fun!
Over the last few weeks Hans has made himself at home, settling into the life of a house bunny. He climbs up on chairs to sit with Hettie and is constantly nudging feet looking for attention. His head wound is healing nicely and fingers cross won’t be a problem any longer.
Hello. My name is Fritz (full time Bunny Burrows resident) and I’m currently on my holidays at a Bunny Burrows foster home while the garage at Bunny Burrows HQ has a refit. Me, Gigi (my girl), Rasputin and his two girls, and little bunny McVitie made the short journey last Sunday.
Since then we’ve had fun playing out in the garden, meeting the locals (who aren’t too sure about me for some reason) and generally pigging out.
Hopefully next week we’ll be visiting the seaside, going on a roller coaster and eating lots of ice cream!
It is with great sadness we announce that Bunny Burrows resident and sponsor bunny Amos has recently pass away. He had been struggling with his breathing for some time and despite the best efforts of the vets he past away at home with his partner Mischief.
Mischief was lost for the first few days without him but has since taken another bunny under her wing (do rabbits take things under their wings?) She is now living with new Bunny Burrows resident Henley Hanson (or H for short).
Henley has a couple of long term health issues so will fit right in with all the other creaking gates here!
The 6 wild bunnies are doing well; they have moved to an outdoor cage which will limit the amount of human contact to try and stop them becoming too domesticated. Hopefully they will be re introduced into the wild in a few weeks.
Due to Ebay recently changing the way charities are registered with their site, the link to our shop has changed. We have now fixed the link on the website.
If you have it stored in your web browsers favourites the new link is http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/bunnyburrows/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&rt=nc&_dmd=2
Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Happy shopping!
Hans has been helping out with the daily chores at Bunny Burrows, this time helping with the sorting and photographing of stock for ebay!
Today marks the start of Rabbit Awareness Week (or RAW for short). This year’s RAW is campaigning for companionship for rabbits, encouraging rabbit owners who own single rabbits to visit rescue centres and find a suitable friend for their rabbit.
During the week many vets will be offering rabbit health checks (known as Rabbit MOTs) and retailers will be running bunny related events.

Gwen has been in the news again, this time on the Yorkshire Post website for Rabbit Welfare week. Check out the article here: http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/bunny-mad-gwen-turns-over-her-home-to-furry-and-not-so-furry-friends-1-7963890
First we’d like to welcome back guinea pig MacTavish, who is now in much better health and has jumped straight back into the group.
On a similar theme, Bunny Burrows house bunny Hans has been back to the vets for another checkup and cleanup, but is generally doing really well despite how he looks.
Big bunnies Fritz and Gigi have been out enjoying the weather, but by the look on Fritz’s face I don’t think he was enjoying sitting next to Gigi’s feet!
And finally Hetty has been doing what Hetty does best – sleeping!
