Rescue rabbit matted to the skin

One of our saddest rescue rabbits this month is Neve and her sister who came in as strays, both matted to the skin.  Foster Carer Bridget purchased a little pair of Shear Magic battery operated rabbit clippers and began what would be days of work clipping back the matted fur. This is very difficult as the clippers must get under the matted fur. The clippers just can't cut through the mats.

Rabbit rescue statistics

Christmas is an exciting time and often a worrying time for people which can result in lifestyle changes and this can have an effect on pets in the home.  Sadly this can mean pet abandonment. The Rabbit Sanctuary saw a steep increase with 119 rabbits surrendered. Of these we rescued 51 in December and rehomed 34 of these rabbits. Due to injuries or illness related to neglect not all could be rehomed. Those rabbits remained in our care. Our vet bills are high because we have a no-kill policy. our vets work hard to treat our rescue rabbits.
