n an interview with one of the authors of Discarded Rabbits, we discuss why so many pet rabbits are surrendered and abandoned, and why shelters alone aren’t enough to solve this issue.

A new revised edition of Discarded Rabbits is now available. Due to a few formatting and spacing issues that crept in when fonts were imbedded we decided to correct those and take advantage of the opportunity to add three new pieces and new photos and artwork. So if you haven’t bought a copy now would be a good time!
Find it here!

The Growing Crisis of Abandoned Domestic Rabbits
and How We Can Help.
by Lucile Moore with Debby Widolf
Our new book on rabbit rescue will be out later this spring 2019! Lucile and I have combined our years of knowledge and experience with that of many others in rescue to create an information packed volume. Many people contributed to the book, including Faith Maloney, a co-founder of Best Friends Animal Society, Dr. Linda R. Harper, internationally known speaker and author, Sorelle Saidman, an expert on colony rabbit rescue, and Nancy Furstinger, author of The Forgotten Rabbit.
Readers will find logically-organized sections on both large and individual rabbit rescue, and the book contains helpful information for both first-time rescuers and those with years of experience. Lucile and I present both currently accepted and controversial or “outside the box” potential solutions to the abandoned rabbit crisis. We have Included many compelling true rescue stories that reveal the tragedy, challenges and triumph of rabbit rescue.
Sending Christmas and holiday greetings with kind, peaceful and compassionate wishes for all beings in the new year to come.

The Bunny Emergency kit is designed to aid bunny parents and their bunnies before they are able to get to the vet, or in case of vet closures, as well as in minor incidents. The kits have 20 or more items to aid in stasis and other minor emergencies.
The kits are packaged with love and 100% of proceeds go to rescuing and helping other rabbits.
The Basic Bunny ER kit is $65.00, with $25.00 going directly to rabbit rescue. You can specify the rabbit rescue of your choice or choose to help out Rusty and Furriends : Vegas Dumpsite Bunnies.
Get one for yourself and give one as a gift! Ordering info HERE.
Wanted to give a “shout out” to the city of Las Vegas, NV. for the new pet ordinance that was passed to require that all pets for sale, including rabbits, are now required to be spayed or neutered. If the store or shelter does not provide the service a voucher must be provided and follow up is required to document that the surgery was done.
This is a big step forward for the city of Las Vegas to show that they are willing to help with the homeless and abandoned pet population for all pets no matter the species. You can help the animals by letting city officials know of abandoned animals and that you are very interested in having this new pet ordinance rigorously enforced. Please thank them and stay involved.

I saw a post from a rabbit rescue site asking for advice for an person that adopted a rabbit with an “aggression” problem. Hopefully my thoughts will help others that have a rabbit with similar challenges.
