Wally

Wally came to the sanctuary in January 2019. He was big and bold and full of personality. Wherever he was placed he would fight with his neighbours, climb over fences or dig underneath. Normally most rabbits calm down after they are desexed but not Wally, he continued to seek his freedom and stir up everyone else.

Wally was finally paired with Lola and although they still have the odd escape, they are content in each others company and love grooming each other.

Benjamin

Benjamin and his two friends were living in a backyard in Sydney. Their owner didn’t know anything about the keeping of rabbits and they were kept in a small wire fence boundary with no roof and exposed to the elements, it hit 38C there recently and they’re in direct sunlight. Their diet consisted of whatever part of a carrot could fit through the mesh, and whatever faeces-covered grass they could chew on. They did not have access to water, as the owners firmly believed that rabbits don’t drink water and that it would kill them.

Thankfully a neighbour intervened and after trying to educate the owner about rabbits without success he convinced the owner to give the rabbits up, swapping the rabbits for a basketball hoop instead. This good samaratin knew that the rabbits at Big ears are able to live outside as we are free from predators so paid for the rabbits to fly down and get delivered to our door on the 26/12/2019. Whilst they were in his care they would go to sleep in front of their water bowl with their little paws on it, as if afraid of being without water again.

Baby Willow

Baby Willow arrived at the sanctuary around March 2016. He was a wild baby when he was attacked by a cat that broke his leg. When he arrived the leg had healed but had not been set so Baby Willow walks a little bit like a crab. He has no pain and gets around as fast as his pen mates Nutmeg and Toffee.

Pete

Pete was found last night (23/11/19) on the side of the road in the Tasmania countryside, hunched over and helpless. He was in an area where there were no other goats so had most likely been dumped. When the kind lady who saw him stopped and took a closer look she discovered he had a broken rear right leg, most likely the reason for him being dumped.

Pete was wearing a collar that was also extremely tight.

Pete came to us and we got him straight to the after hours vet where x-rays revealed the leg was broken and he underwent surgery to re-set the leg and have it cast and bandaged.

The vet bill will be costly as it was all performed after 8pm on a Saturday night.

Pete will need some extra attention in the next few weeks with pain relief, bandage management and controlled exercise.

You can sponsor Pete for $100.00 for 12 months or choose to give a monthly donation for just $10.00 a month. Sponsorship goes towards his health checks, nail trims and regular worming.
