News, stories and gossip from the Bunny Burrows residents.
Hans Update: He has finally found himself a girlfriend. Meet Gretel.
Gretel came to Bunny Burrows before Christmas with her sister. Her front teeth we’re very long and she couldn’t eat properly but has since had an operation and has now settled into the life as the perfect house bunny!
Hans was over the moon recently when he received his PDSA Pet Survivor certificate.
Many thanks to Pets at Home for their kind donation of pet bedding and food. As usual Hans was too busy to help unload it from the car, but was all too willing to pose for a photo.
Bunny Burrows would also like to thank Karen Pirie for the kind donation of indoor cages and carry case – I’m sure we’ll be putting them to good use soon!
Gwen has been received another award nomination, this time it is PetPlan Animal Charity Volunteer of the Year! At the moment we don’t have any more details, but finalists will be selected in March. Good luck Gwen!
Gwen has been sorting out some water bottles for selling on Ebay. As usual she can always rely on Hans to help out… Continue reading “Hans does Ebay”
Unfortunately Hans didn’t win the PDSA Pet Survivor Award but a massive thank you to everyone who voted. The award went to Darcy, who survived falling down a 60ft dam. Big congratulations to Darcy, and to all the animals nominated.
Milligan the hedgehog has been to the vets this week, after developing a possible abscess in his mouth. Trudi the vet has drained it, taken an x-ray and a biopsy, and he is now back home.

Dear All,
Here we are again Christmas almost upon us with Hot Cross Bunny Day long gone but not forgotten …..
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!
