📰 NEWSPAPERS URGENTLY NEEDED! 🐰

We're running very low on newspapers, which we use every day to line our bunnies' litter trays, and we could really use your help!

If you have old newspapers piling up at home, we'd be incredibly grateful if you could bring them in to the Orphanage in Olinda. Drop-offs are preferred, as our team is very short on time and isn't always able to arrange collections.

A little pile of newspapers might not seem like much, but it makes a big difference to our many furry residents!

Eden and Brooke (pictured) say a big thank you in advance. 💗

A quick note: We can only use full sheets of newspaper, not shredded paper.

A quick update for our wonderful supporters! 🐰

Due to some unexpected telecommunications changes as part of an NBN upgrade, the Orphanage is currently without phone and internet services. We expect to be uncontactable for the next 24–48 hours.

The good news is that tomorrow’s adoption opening hours are going ahead as usual!

We will be open Saturday 31 October, from 1pm to 4pm, with no appointment necessary. Saturdays are our regular walk-in day, so if you were planning to visit, please feel free to come along! Butler and Chaplin (pictured) would love to see you!

We apologise for any inconvenience while our services are being restored, and thank you for your patience and understanding. 💚

Perfect for spoiling your own buns or finding a special Christmas gift for a bunny-loving friend! 🎄🐰

🔨 ONLINE AUCTION: 13–22 November
7 fabulous hampers up for grabs!

🎟️ RAFFLE 2: 23–29 November

❤️ WHY ARE WE FUNDRAISING?

Every day, Rabbit Runaway Orphanage cares for abandoned, neglected and unwanted pet rabbits, many arriving with expensive veterinary needs.

We can provide the love, safe haven and hands-on care, but we desperately need funds to cover their veterinary treatment.

Every raffle ticket purchased and every auction bid helps us continue giving these vulnerable rabbits a second chance.

So please save the dates, keep an eye on our page for prize photos and details, and help us spread the word!

You might win something wonderful for your bunny, while helping another bunny get the care they so desperately need. 🐰❤️

Thank you for always being there for our rescue buns. We couldn't do this without you!

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TWO UNDESEXED MALE RABBITS ARE PURCHASED WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR CARE NEEDS, AND ARE KEPT TOGETHER? Meet Bart & Archie. These two little boys were surrendered on Sunday, in a neglectful and disgraceful condition. Archie has had his nose bitten off and both were covered in grime and urine. Don't get pet rabbits if you are not committed to caring for them and please desex your pets. Our Victorian Government does not think there is a problem!
