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.
MOXIE - ADOPTABLE
Meet Moxie. Moxie is a big brown bunny. Yep just like too many rabbits here at Wonderland, Moxie is a brown bunny! But NEVER let him hear you call him 'plain' or 'typical' or 'boring'! Moxie is a ham. He loves attention! He loves treats. He loves hay. Okay well I guess that does make him sort of typical for a bunny but please never say that to him! We believe him to be a New Zealand and Maybe Flemish Giant Mix or other large type (He is not a Flemish Giant) as he weighs just over 10 lbs. He insists scales lie. He loves playing with his toys. He loves head pets and dashing off to some thing important that couldn't have been too important as he will be right back. He was found wandering as a stray so we are unsure of his exact age. Based on previous knowledge we guesstimate him to be 3 years old as of Summer of 2017. But hey... age is just a number. And Moxie says he has other things to worry about... like why scales lie and what was the important thing he had to do? Never mind... just scritch that sweet adorable nose.
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!
SUGA AND SPAZ - ADOPTABLE
SUGAR AND SPAZ - ADOPTABLE: Suga and Spaz are nearly identical twins. They came to us as little tiny babies (about 8 weeks old and just weighing 1 pound) in November of 2013 and have blossomed into what we believe are either large Himalayans or small Californians (not that it matters). They will be four years old in October 2017. They are beautiful bunnies with lush thick fur, black ears, nose tail and feet with red eyes. The only way you can tell which is which is that Spaz has a white dot on the bottom of her nose. They are adorable and sweet, but require multiple litter pans put EXACTLY where they want them. They are also not big on other pets in the house. Even though they are girls they have "marked" other bunnies and make it clear they want to be the only furries in the house. While in their pen they can be a bit cage protective but once out love running and exploring. They aren't big on being held, we assume they will settle down in a forever home. They really do deserve a shot at having a nice house where they will be able to run, play and jump like all bunnies. Since they are young, they should adapt to their new surroundings. Here is a baby picture from November (below).
UPDATE: We moved Sugar and Spaz into a quieter area in the Rescue and gave them two big litter pans. So far their litter habits have been flawless! They are getting more and more social as well. We are confident now that they will make wonderful house rabbits given the space and litter pans they need. :)

DIEGO - ADOPTABLE
ADOPTABLE:
UPDATE 7/2017 Diego asked me to ask why she hasn't been adopted yet. Both her sister (well really cousins I guess) Carmen and Sandy have both been adopted but she is still here. Another rabbit, Maddy, who looked just like her got adopted. Diego is confused and wants her furever home too! She said to tell you that she knows she is "just another brown bunny" but she really wants to be loved and have attention too.
Another adorable and very silly bunny that we cannot figure out why she has not been adopted. She is a female New Zealand, a medium/large rabbit at about 7 pounds and approximately 5 1/2 years old as of mid-Summer 2017. She started off very skittish and afraid of everything, but she has definitely come out of her shell. She loves to escape from her playpen and visit with all the other buns. She is the first to the food dish and loves to shred hay. She has a great personality. I don't think she is going to be a big lover of being held, but she does love to play with people with her toys. (Have to share this one: we went into the shelter to pass out breakfast the other day and Thor has escaped his room and gotten into Diego's. Remember that while these buns all see and visit with each other none are bonded. Well when we looked in they were sitting side by side on Diego's ledge in her room acting all very nonchalant like if they didn't tell we wouldn't notice!!!! There was only one small tuft of fur so there were no major fights. We guess they just wanted to discuss the new of the day or she had him over for some carrot tea.

TAMMY FAYE - ADOPTABLE
ADOPTABLE: Tammy Faye came to us with her two sisters Willow and Robbin. As of January 2017, she is 5 years old. She has been in the Rescue for a very long time and wants (she says deserves.. silly bun) a furever home to call her own. She is a mix of hotot with a lovely lush mini rex coat. Tammy Faye is small, weighing just about 4 lbs. She is shy like most mini rexes. Her favorite things to do is destroy cardboard boxes. She is an adorable little girl. (See the little one dot on her back and the brown on the back of her ears; she is so sweet.) She is not very fond of other rabbits face to face and would do best as an 'only child'.
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.

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.

Craig - Sanctuary Bunny
Craig is a fabulous big brown rabbit. Yep a brown rabbit. Actually the color is called "agouti". There are three colors of brown on each hair. Craig came to us as a back yard bunny long forgotten in a garbage hutch in the back yard. During a storm the privacy fence in the yard was blown over and smashed the hutch. Thank God our volunteer and their neighbor was looking out her window and saw it happen. She rushed over and scooped up Craig and with the family's blessing brought him to us. He is blind in one eye and hates other rabbits! He is painfully shy, a massive hay eater and a funny clown when he decides he would like to come out and play. We need to watch his eye and keep him on drops to keep it moist. Someday he may need to have it removed but we are doing everything possible to avoid that. Another reason we hope people will donate to help the Sanctuary Bunnies.
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.
