Welcome Disney Bunnies!

Who doesn't love a litter of sweet, adorable babies???? Introducing....the Disney Babies!

After ending up in a kill shelter, two female rabbits had no more time and were slated for euthanasia. Luckilg, another shelter offered to take them in and they were safe from harm. About two weeks later, on a Wednesday, one of the girls gave birth to 5 babies. We were a bit overwhelmed and were making plans to get all of the rabbits out of the shelter in the following days. That same Friday (2 days later) the other female gave birth to 7 more babies...12 total. We came that very same day and pulled out all of the rabbits, and our great foster mom Tammie agreed to take them all in and help raise them! We named the moms Cinderella (Cinder) and Snow White (Snowy)!

Cinderella & Snow White


Cinderella and Snow White have been incredible moms, despite all of the stress they have gone through. It's possible they are sisters and were most likely impregnated by the same male, since they look so much alike and their babies are all so similar. In fact, both moms treated all of the babies like their own and nursed anyone who came past. At this point, we can't pinpoint for sure who is from Snowy and who is from Cinder! It's truly a blended family!

We have watched the Disney babies grow from tiny little pink babies, into fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand bunnies, now into big-eared hearty babies! They are only 7 weeks old, but they are eating us out of house and home and are growing daily! It's amazing to watch the progression as they have gotten bigger!

Happy New Year From Hug-a-Bunny!

We know it's already March, and we haven't been able to update our Blog in quite some time, but we want to wish you the very best for the new year ahead! We know that 2010 will be a wonderful year for our rescue. Already this year, we have been active in rescuing lives! We have actively spayed and neutered the "Upstate Bunnies," and have already had 8 adoptions this year! WOW! We also hit 190 adoptions, which is a huge accomplishment for us...only 10 more to go until 200 adoptions!

This year, we have already rescued quite a few rabbits from horrible situations. Christian Dior came to us after losing his home, and then went into a bad bout of GI Stasis. Luckily, he's doing much better and is looking for a new home! We have also rescued the Princess moms Cinderella and Snow White, along with their 7 babies- the Disney Babies! These babies are eating a lot and growing daily! Check back soon for a posting about them!

We know our goals are big for 2010 and we could NEVER do it all without wonderful supporters like you!  Let's all keep up the good work in 2010. Together, we really can make a difference!

 Love,
