A Christmas Letter from Gwen
Dear All,
Here we are again Christmas almost upon us with Hot Cross Bunny Day long gone but not forgotten …..
Wild Bunny Brexit
Meet Brexit, a little wild bunny with a big personality! Brexit came to Bunny Burrows in June 2016, on the day of the EU referendum (hence the name). She was found by the RSPCA and taken to a local vets, who contacted Gwen and asked if she could take her in.
As with many of the babies that come to Bunny Burrows she needed bottle feeding. But as well as being very young Brexit had another problem – she didn’t seem to have much control over her left rear leg and it wasn’t taking her weight when she moved.
As Brexit got older she moved from living in a pet carrier to an indoor cage. She has recently moved into the colony with the other permanent residents; it was decided she couldn’t be released as she had become too domesticated while being bottle fed and because of her leg Gwen was worried how she would cope in the wild.
Thankfully as she has grow her leg seems to have got better and you can only notice it if you look carefully. She now runs and climbs with no problems; in fact Gwen has had to start covering the top of the colony to stop her leaping out. Before this she has spent a few nights running round the garage chewing things she shouldn’t!
Rolex in the wars again
Wild bunny Rolex has been in the wars again, this time getting a herself in a knot with a load of hay.
As she is blind she often spins round and round when stressed, and this has caused the hay to get wrapped round her leg. Unfortunately she is also missing her front teeth so she couldn’t chew her way out either! Luckily Gwen was on hand to unknot her before she got herself too tied up.

There’s only a few days left to vote in the PDSA Survivor Awards… and to say thanks for voting here is some more pics of him looking cute!
Winter Coat
While Hans has been in the limelight, Hetty has been pottering along doing her own thing. This week Gwen dressed her up in a new winter coat, and as you can see she was less than impressed!
Do you really expect me to go out looking like this? Wrong colour, no style and no designer label. Life here sucks unless you are a rabbit!
Thank you to Yorkshire Building Society
Hans has been to collect a cheque from the Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation, enjoying all the attention and photographs in the process. He then had to carry it home.
A massive thank you to all the staff and customers for voting for us!
We’re on Social Media
At Bunny Burrows we recently appointed a new IT expert (one of the Guinea Pigs has read a Computers for Dummies book) and their first task was to take us into the 20th century. They beavered away for a while and finally they came back with the big announcement! They had created Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts for us!
