The awards have gain extensive coverage in the press, including The Northern Echo, The Yorkshire Post and the BBC Website.
Hans came to Bunny Burrows in a very poorly state and it was the excellent work of Trudi Pardoe and her team at Abbey House Vets in Kippax and the care of Gwen that got him through.
As a thank you for voting, here’s some pictures of him looking cute.
11 Wild Bunnies
You may remember 6 wild baby bunnies came to Bunny Burrows in early August after being discovered by builders. When they first arrived they were tiny, and needed bottle feeding by Gwen.
Over time they grew, but unfortunately 6 became 5. They were later joined by 6 other baby rabbits in a similar situation. All got on together but the problem was they were becoming too tame. They recognised Gwens voice and would come to the cage door begging for food and attention.
To try and rectify this they were packed up and sent to a foster home where they would have more space and less contact with people. They moved into a large pen and set about working out creative ways to escape! At times they act more like squirrels than rabbits!
Hans is up for an Award!

Better Than Hibernating
Hibernation Time
Winter is round the corner. Christmas is not far away. How do we know? Because Fred the big tortoise and 4 of his friends are ready to hibernate. The remaining 6 tortoises will spend the winter under warm heat lamps.
Either option sounds good to me!
Hans in trouble again
Here’s a pic of Hans, getting himself into trouble. Again. In Gwens’ words:
This rabbit knows no boundaries. He has worked out that I feed Mercury pear and keep it on the box under his cage. Very handy for a tasty bite!

Sunbathing Tortoise
The tortoises have been making the most of the good weather while it lasts and before they start thinking about hibernating.
It’s like being back in the Galapagos!!!
Naughty Hans, part 2
Dinner Time
Here’s some pics of Gigi helping herself to dinner while Gwens’ back was turned – and Fritz is on guard in the background!
