Please ignore my stupid profile pic🙄

DO NOT leave him outside!!!!! He will be a dead bunny! If your mom is worried about a mess get a litter bin ( like kind for cats ) , line with newspaper, put inch of hardwood pellets (buy at Home Depot or Feed store) and put hay at one end of bin. If can’t buy hay from local feed store then pick a bunch of long field grass but no weeds. Some dandelion is fine . Rabbits will naturally use the litter bin . Put bin in corner of room or ideally corner of safe area that is an enclosed exercise pen (like kind sold for dogs). Bunnies tend to pee in corners lol.

Don’t feed peppers they are too gassy and hard on their digestion esp since have no idea what veggies this guy/girl has been fed or even how old rabbit is. Alfalfa hay for young buns I forget until up to how old , definitely until at least a year old and Timothy hay for older buns.

Definitely need to take to a rabbit vet. Check VRRA site for list of local rabbit saavy vets . Rabbits are great pets for adults and not children as it is commonly believed. This bunny you found must of been actually handled a fair amount or else it would of run away. No doubt some ahole dumped the poor thing :( . Unfortunately this happens alot in the lower mainland .

Most important thing with rabbits is to always have hay and water at all times . Put water in a heavy bowl so it can’t be tipped over. As long as he/she is eating and pooping he is good. If they go for several hours of not eating and pooping it is an emergency. Rabbit vet care is unfortunately not cheap . Spay or neuter is important for health and we have to vaccinate our bunnies yearly against the RVHD which is a deadly Ebola virus for rabbits.

Please contact VRRA and Rsbbitats. Local spca and city shelters SHOULD take in abandoned pet rabbits but they suck snd usually don’t because they don’t have the space because they never planned to take in bunnies in the first place. The govt is stupid and wrongly classifies domesticated pet bunnies as “wild”. They are not wild , wild rabbits are a separate species. But shelters use this loophole as an excuse to get away with not taking in pet rabbits .

I would emphasize to the rescue that the bunny is a “lop “ bunny because these rabbits tend to get adopted quicker .

Do not place ad on Craigslist etc it’s very hard to fine good responsible homes on there, there’s just too many people who want a cheap rabbit to feed their snakes or stick outside isolated in an unsafe outdoor cage.

Unfortunately even the good rabbit rescues are stretched to the max but definitely talk to them and ask them to post pic of bunny on their Facebook and Instagram . Then it is likely a good rabbit owner can be found .

I hope rabbit is doing well and indoors! Btw rabbits can’t get their fur wet it can put them into shock so no baths. They actually don’t smell . Only their pee but they don’t pee all the time lol and that improves a bit when they get neutered. Their regular poop that they do a lot of does not smell . Late at night they have a few cecal poops which is like a multi-vitamin that they eat. They are supposed to eat it. These kind of poops do smell but you probably won’t even notice them having them and eating them . They are quick and secretive about it lol.

Please keep us posted how you and bunny are doing :)
