Who Am I?
White is my color.
My fur is so fluffy like no other.
Tail so bushy; nose so pink.
Whiskers so long, they make me unique.
Pointed ears on top of my head,
I can’t wait until I am fed
Who am I, What can I be?
I’m a cute little bunny;
Can’t you see?

MORTIMER - Adoptable
Mortimer is yet another of Wonderland's "Big Brown Bunnies". And proud to be so. A bit of a momma's boy, Morty is just a great house bunny. He has good litter habits and is doing what we call "moating". That is when they do a circle of their dry poos around the perimeter of the pen to keep other bunnies from crossing the (invisible) line. This behavior usually ends once they have a home to call their own with no other bunnies to threaten their food source or take away from their special cuddle time. He fits into our "large" bunny category, at about 10 pounds. He came to Wonderland (to be inserted along with age). He has been neutered and is ready for his furever home.
TREASURE - Adoptable
Meet Treasure! Treasure was found in Garden City/Westland area just dumped in a neighborhood by an uncaring owner. What people don't realize that for a domestic rabbit dumping them out of doors is a death sentence. They are nothing like "those wild rabbits". They are easy prey for predatory birds, feral cats, loose doors being run over by a car or worse! Treasure is approximately 3 years old and is a good size bunny. She is adorable and yes her ears are always forward like that. When investigating a new area she always lets her ears go first!!! I think she thinks she is a snail and those are her antenae! Since she is a little bit bigger she likes to sit with you on the floor to play and be pet. She will tolerate being held for grooming or medical needs. Treasure is spayed, healthy, and has excellent urine litter pan habits. She is a "poop as you go" rabbit but that usually stops once she is secure in a home and doesn't have to keep marking her area as hers. We will give you plenty of help and advice with getting her acclimated into your family.
DIXIE AND DELTA - Adoptable
|
|
Dixie and Delta turned one year old in April 2017. They came to Wonderland from Baton Rouge LA. Their Rescue there suffered damage from flooding and all rabbits there were shipped across the U.S. to Rescues offering to help. Originally they were part of a litter of 7 born to a mom in the Rescue and they were all named after the 7 dwarves. Dixie and Delta were originally "Sleepy and Dopey", and as appropriate as it was, we renamed them to reflect the area they came from They were shy at first (they came in at 4 months old). They have been spayed, have good litter habits, are friendly and social and are ready to be adopted, as a pair only!
DUDLEY - ADOPTABLE
ADOPTABLE: Dudley was another rabbit that we took in the summer of 2013 from a 'dump' situation. He is so very sweet. We guess he is approximately 5 years old as of Summer 2017. He has gotten a little chunky from when this picture was taken and we hope to have new pictures soon. We keep telling him he is not a fish and doesn't need to grow to the size of his container. He does have some separation anxiety and his perfect home would include someone that is at home most of the day and wouldn't mind him following them around the house. He is amazingly charming and loves attention. He has excellent litter habits and likes to visit with the other animals in the Shelter. Ready for his forever home.
THE SANCTUARY....
THE RABBITS (AND OTHER SMALL FURRIES BELOW) ARE SPECIAL NEEDS AND LIVE IN THE SANCTUARY HERE AT WONDERLAND. THIS MEANS THEY HAVE MEDICAL, PHYSICAL AND BEHAVIORAL ISSUES THAT MAKE THEM HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO ADOPT OUT. WHILE THEY WILL PROBABLY STAY HERE FOREVER, WE ALWAYS WELCOME PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE "SPONSOR" THEM. THIS WOULD BE A SMALL DONATION EACH MONTH TO HELP DEFRAY THEIR NEEDS. IF YOU LIVE IN THE GREATER DETROIT AREA WE ALWAYS WELCOME VISITS FROM SPONSORS TO VISIT WITH THE SPECIAL BABIES THEY ARE SPONSORING. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SPONSORING SEND US AN EMAIL AT WONDERLANDRR@GMAIL.COM
MANDY - Special Needs (Head Tilt) Sanctuary Bunny
Mandy was one of the first bunnies to come to Wonderland Rabbit Rescue. Here almost 6 years (as of 1/2018) Mandy presented almost immediately with a neurological disorder known as "Head Tilt". We treated her with the usual 30 day protocol of medications and she returned to normal to only tilt the other way a month later! She has been stable with a 45 degree tilt for the last 4 years. She was able to be spayed and is a very happy active bunny. She loves her Barney (a gift from a FaceBook fan who saw her story) and she visits with the other Rescue bunnies. (Although she doesn't like many of them!) We call her the "fastest" rabbit in the Rescue as she can get from one room to the next so fast we often lose track of where she has gone!
UPDATE 3/2018 MANDY WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH A CANCEROUS MASS WHICH WAS REMOVED. OUR FINGERS ARE CROSSED THAT THEY GOT IT ALL. WE ARE WATCHING HER CLOSELY.

Salt and Pepper - Sanctuary Buns
SPECIAL NEEDS: UPDATE: SADLY SALT LOST HIS LADY LOVE OF 11 YEARS. HE IS GOING THROUGH SOME DEPRESSION BUT LIVES NEXT TO SUESS WHO LOST HIS COMPANION VINNIE ALSO THIS YEAR. .
Salt and Pepper were a married pair for 10 years. In 2016, Pepper left for the Rainbow Bridge. Salt has been very quiet since. We put him next to Mandy after Pepper passed and they bonded through the pens and now are very best friends and share a large playpen where they spend their days cuddled up watching the Sprout Network. 2017. Salt is the white and orange up ear rabbit on the left.

Suess - Sanctuary Bunny
UPDATE 3/2018.... WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BOND TO HAY SUESS WITH KENNY ANOTHER SHELTER BUNNY WITH BLADDER STONE ISSUES. THEY HAVE BEEN CARING FOR EACH OTHER AND ARE BEST FRIENDS!
Shown here in happier times, Hay Suess is now alone. First bonded to Vinnie, then Vinnie and Shadow then Vinnie Shadow and Jesse, all his friend have passed. Suess is holding up well and doesn't seem to be going through any major depression. We have him and Salt, who lost his bunwife Pepper living with their pens touching and I think they are giving each other a helping paw. He is still a very silly boy, but has teeth issues which require filing every three weeks and blocked tear ducts which require medication for his eye as well as the surrounding skin. Another bunny with medical needs.

Degus Veronica and Betty
(Experienced Degu Adopters Only; Vet referral required)
ANOTHER UPDATE 3/2018. WE HAD TO SEPARATE BETTY AND VERONICA DUE TO FIGHTING. COME TO FIND OUT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THEIR FIRST 'SEASON' WHICH APPARENTLY MAKES THEM FIGHT. IN APRIL WE WILL ATTEMPT TO REBOND THEM.
UPDATE JULY 2017.... Okay so we have gotten more comfortable with Degus. It took over 6 months to realize that while they are not that friendly they need and want constant attention. We have redone their enclosure a couple of times and since they still have not been adopted I am sure we will be doing it again soon. Degus need a metal wheel and that has been the biggest obstacle. Most metal ones are made for Chinchillas (a distant relative of the Degu) and they have small holes all over the running part of the wheel. I found instructions online on how to make a wheel but the first try has been a failure! If a perfect adopter ever comes forward, I think they will take their living quarters with them along with all the goodies they have come to love
Betty and Veronica, a bonded pair of female Degus, came to Wonderland December 23, 2016. There still seems to be some debate on how old they are, but we do have an educated guess on 6-9 months old at time of surrender. They were in a horrible situation and needed to be removed ASAP. So they are here. We are working with them daily and hope to have them as adoptable as possible before rehoming. NOTE: Degus are NOT holding animals! They, for the most part, DO NOT LIKE TO BE HELD! They can, do and have bitten. It is painful! They will only go to an EXPERIENCED HOME that will provide verification from an exotic veterinarian that they have owned Degus in the past.
