🐰 Meet Patches! 🐰
Curious, quirky, and full of charm

This handsome little bun is a delightful mix of curiosity, energy, and personality, and he's patiently waiting for his forever family.

Affectionately described as "a bun full of surprises", no two days are ever the same with Patches. One moment he’s doing laps around the playpen, the next he’s sprawled out for a well-earned nap—life with Patches is never boring!

Mealtimes are a highlight for this little guy—he absolutely lives for fresh hay and greens, and even has a signature “dinner dance” to show his excitement. Bonus: he’s litter trained, making him an ideal indoor companion.

Like many bunnies, Patches can be a bit timid at first. But with gentle, consistent care and slow pats, he quickly warms up. Once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll have a loyal, affectionate friend who’ll brighten your days.

Patches is also well-socialised with his bunny friends in foster care and would love to bond with a companion. He’s playful and engaging—his favourite games include tipping heavy bowls and stacking cups, a hobby that brings out his entertaining side and keeps everyone smiling.

If you're looking for a sweet, funny, and active little bunny to complete your family, Patches might just be your perfect match.

🐇 Bunnies are social creatures—Patches will need to be adopted with or bonded to a bunny friend.

🐰 Meet Blizzard & Odette 🐰
Bonded sisters | Born & raised at the refuge

Blizzard and Odette are two beautiful, bonded sisters who have known nothing but each other’s love from the moment they were born. Raised in the safety and care of the refuge, their connection is unbreakable—a comforting, lifelong bond built on trust, companionship, and gentle affection.

Though initially shy, these girls have a quiet sense of adventure. You’ll often find them exploring their surroundings with cautious curiosity, never straying far from each other’s side. Whether they’re nestled together in a cozy corner or grooming one another with loving care, their bond is a constant source of comfort and calm.

Now mature and ready for the next chapter, Blizzard and Odette are patiently waiting for a forever home where they can continue to thrive—together. They dream of a peaceful environment with kind humans who will give them the time they need to settle in and bloom.

These sisters are the perfect match for someone who understands that love takes time—and that the reward is two deeply bonded bunnies who will bring quiet joy, warmth, and a gentle kind of magic to your home.

🐰 Meet Casey 🐰
Tiny bunny, big heart

Casey is a charming little Netherland Dwarf with a gentle soul and a whole lot of love to give. Though a little shy at first, once Casey gets to know you, he forms a deep and lasting bond—becoming a loyal, loving companion who’ll stick close by your side.

This sweet boy thrives on gentle human interaction. He especially enjoys soft strokes and head pats, and with a bit of patience and kindness, he’ll reward you with affection and playful companionship. Casey truly blossoms in the company of someone who takes the time to understand him.

When it comes to food, Casey enjoys the simple things in life. He’s a big fan of fresh veggies—think crisp lettuce and juicy carrots—but he’s not too fussed about herbs. Watching him munch away is its own kind of joy!

Casey’s ideal home is calm and secure, with space to explore and hop about safely—both indoors and in a protected outdoor area. He’s looking for an attentive, gentle human who’ll respect his quiet nature and shower him with love (and lots of head pats, of course).

Whether you’re a seasoned bunny lover or welcoming your very first rabbit, Casey will fill your days with warmth, quiet companionship, and sweet little moments you’ll treasure.

🐰 Meet Jasmine & Belle 🐰
Born 31.12.22 | Bonded sisters | Double the love

Jasmine and Belle are two inseparable sister rabbits who radiate charm and tranquillity. As a bonded pair, they offer not only companionship to each other but double the love to their future forever home.

These sweet girls were born the day they arrived at the pound—New Year’s Eve, 2022—and came to us at just three days old with their mum, Merry, and four siblings: Aurora, Ariel, Gaston, and Flynne. Our very own Disney babies. 🌟

Quiet and calm, Jasmine and Belle love nothing more than relaxing side by side, sharing meals, or curling up together in their cozy den. Their affection for each other is heart-melting—they’re often found grooming, snuggling, and giving each other gentle kisses.

While they may be shy at first, with a little patience and kindness, Jasmine and Belle will soon be nudging you for gentle pats and scratches. They especially love cuddling up to your hand once they feel safe and secure.

These girls are a dream to care for: tidy, well-mannered, and very clean. Their impeccable litter habits make them low-maintenance bunnies, perfect for a peaceful home.

🍌 Favourite treats? Oaten hay, kale, parsley—and their top pick—banana!

If you’re looking for a quiet, loving pair to bring serenity and sweetness into your life, Jasmine and Belle might just be your perfect match. Their gentle bond and placid personalities will warm your heart every single day.

Despite all their wonderful qualities, Jasmine and Belle are heartbreakingly among our longest-waiting bunnies. They’ve spent their whole lives in care, patiently hoping someone will see their gentle magic and give them the forever home they deserve.

✨ Double the love, double the joy—open your heart to Jasmine and Belle.

🐰 Bridie 🐰
🐇 18 months old 🐇

Bridie is a truly remarkable little rabbit. Despite facing more challenges than most, including the recent removal of one of her eyes, she remains full of love, resilience, and joy. Where others might become timid, Bridie shines—eager for gentle pats and soothing ear rubs, always ready to connect with the people around her.

Her sweet, affectionate nature is unwavering. She has endured so much, yet greets life with a playful spirit and calm trust that is nothing short of inspiring. Bridie is a living reminder that even after hardship, happiness is possible—and that the best days can still lie ahead.

Bridie is considered a long-term rescue due to her health condition, but we hope you'll look past that and come meet her. Her beautiful personality will win you over in no time.

‼️ URGENT ‼️

We have had an influx of orphaned babies who require desexing, vaccinations, and microchipping, along with long-term care before reaching "ready to adopt" status. The cost of living hits us all, and I desperately am seeking anyone who would be generous enough to donate. End of Financial Year (EOFY) is close, so all donations over $2 are tax deductible!
Orphans often spend 4 months in care before they are vet-ready, and with large numbers already approaching this timeframe, we desperately—I can't express it enough—are seeking urgent help! Without the generosity of the community and each and every person who may be able to help, even a few dollars, it all adds up.
Here are some of the current babies waiting for vet work to find their own homes. 🥰 Each and every dollar helps in ways we just can't express via this message.

What a celebration of 10 years!

It was marvellous to see so many familiar faces—supporters from five years ago, from the very beginning, and all the new friends who’ve recently joined our fantastic community.

We officially opened our Adoption Room—a huge milestone made possible thanks to the generous Victorian Government Animal Welfare Grants Program.

Throughout the day, we shared valuable information on bunny diet and nutrition, including a fantastic first aid session just for our buns!

We also drew the raffle—congrats to our lucky winners
1st - Janita B
2nd - Su T
3rd - Alex G

It was such a joy chatting with so many fellow bunny lovers—people who live and breathe buns just like we do.

This celebration, marking the grand opening of the Adoption Room and our 10-Year Anniversary, couldn’t have happened without our incredible volunteers. You made the day what it was—thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
