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.

Sponsorship of Wally is $50.00 for 12 months and will go towards his twice yearly vaccinations, parasite control and vet checks.

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.

Sponsorship of Benjamin is $50.00 per year and goes towards his vet checks, vaccinations and parasite control.
