April 3rd and 4th from noon to 4pm



Join the Bunny Bunch Easter weekend to celebrate spring. We have a Spring Raffle, refreshments, Chocolate Easter Bunnies, Ceramic Bunny Hearts, and lots of rabbits waiting for homes. Plus our store is jam packed with all sorts of items for you and your rabbits. Don't forget to bring your rabbits and guinea pigs for our Spring Photo Shoot.

Starting Wednesday, March 17th, through Sunday, April 4th, bring in your rabbits, chins or guinea pigs for a Spring photo shoot during our open hours at the Burrow. For a $10 donation you will receive a framed photo of your choice.

Every year thousands of rabbits are bought as gifts for Easter. Most of them don't even live a year! You can help by handing out our new Easter Education flyers and posting our Easter Education posters. Download a copy now or email Caroline@BunnyBunch.org to have them mailed to you. You can also pick them up at the Burrow during our open hours. ________________________________________

Our Beatrix Potter solid chocolate bunnies have arrived at the Burrow. On the back of the box is a label telling people why you shouldn't buy real rabbits for Easter. Please help us spread the word that chocolate bunnies are for Easter, real ones are not. They are available for a $5.00 donation at the Burrow, or two for $12 by mail. Order yours now! Thank you for supporting our efforts.

One of our wonderful volunteers handmade these lovely ceramic bunny hearts in order to raise money for the rabbits. For a $5.00 donation (or $9.00 for two) you can choose a magnet or a hanging heart; each heart comes with a photo of a rabbit that we have rescued. If you would like us to mail them to you, please send a $12 donation for two hearts to cover postage. Clic k here to order. They make great gifts for friends and family, just in time for Easter!

We got a call from a vets office yesterday about a rabbit that was ran over by a car. The rabbits leg was broken and the owners couldn't afford the bill and didn't want to care for the rabbit. The rabbit is now at Bunny Bunch. We need to raise $400 to have her leg spayed. We don't even know her name yet. She is an older brown lop. If you can help send any amount towards helping her please let us know.

As soon as we can we will post a picture of her on our site. You can don at e via Paypal or mail a check to The Burrow, 4601-1 Brooks St, Montclair, CA 91763. Thanks a Bunny Bunch!

Bunny Bunch is at it again. For years we have wanted to help the hundreds of rabbits that have been dumped at the Long Beach City College. One thing or another always stood in the way, but this winter we were able to come up with a plan.

Because we are already overloaded with rabbits at the Burrow and in foster care we are not able to take on another few hundred. We rescue our rabbits from the high kill shelters and don't want to stop doing that, so we thought it would be best to spay and neuter all of the rabbits at the college and then release them back to living on the grounds at the college; at least that way the breeding would end.

Of course we do not suggest that rabbits live outside but thought this plan was better than none.

Over the last couple of months rabbits have been taken to our vets for spaying and neutering. This last week, rabbits were set up in a building on the campus so we could do health checks and get them ready for Western University's visit to spay and neuter one hundred rabbits.

We are looking for more vets to work with us on low cost spay and neuter so we can finish all the rest of the rabbits, which we are guessing to be about two hundred.

People think that releasing their unwanted rabbit into a nice green field, golf course, park, or college is a nice way for a rabbit to live. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are domestic rabbits, not wild rabbits. It is illegal to abandon a rabbit at the college, or anywhere else for that matter. There is a $500 fine for anyone caught doing so.

Many of the rabbits are killed by predators, run over, or even poisoned. When a domestic rabbit is put into a group of rabbits living outside they will not accept him and will fight for territory which results in bite wounds, torn ears, and other injuries. There is often disease running within groups of rabbits living outside. We have found that at least thirty percent of the rabbits show signs of syphilis. Many have fleas and mites too.

We are treating the sick rabbits for all of the above. When we have caught all of the rabbits, they will be spayed or neutered and healthy before they are released.

We are also looking for people to adopt these rabbits. If you are interested please go to our website and fill out an adoption questionnaire, or email caroline@bunnybunch.org. Ideally we would like to get them all into homes if possible. We will have some of these rabbits for adoption at the Orange County Pet Expo in April, plus will be holding adoption events in Long Beach after Easter.

Thank you to Long Beach City college for providing funding for spaying and neutering, and allowing us to come up with a plan to take care of all the rabbits. Also, for letting us use a building to house the rabbits during this program. Thank you to Best Friends for providing temporary crates for the rabbits and sending supplies. Thank you to Western University for offering low cost spay/neuter for eighty rabbits and caring for them after the surgery and to the staff who donated their time. Thank you to the local rabbit vets for proving low cost spay and neuter. And a big thank you to Donna and Jackie who work at LBCC for being there for the rabbits over the years and through this rescue.

We have set up a fund to help with medical costs for the sick and injured rabbits. Click here to make a donation, or you can send a check to The Bunny Bunch LBBC Rescue, P.O. Box 2583, Chino, CA 91708.
