It's International Rabbit Day today!

International Rabbit Day is for raising awareness about rabbit welfare, encouraging responsible bunny ownership, and discouraging cruelty and neglect.

Pet rabbits need to be properly cared for and live in a safe environment. International Rabbit Day helps us remember that just like cats and dogs, rabbits are wonderful indoor pets who need lots of space to exercise, play, and explore. They should not be confined to small cages.

Rabbits require a balanced diet rich in hay, fresh vegetables, and a whole lot of love! Hay is crucial for their digestive health and helps prevent dental problems.

From one of our fosters:

My name is Megan and I got started with rescue when I spotted a little ball of white fluff in the woods near my house. I was determined to save this adorable bunny.

I assumed this was someone's pet, so I posted on my town page and was contacted by Rocky Coast Rabbit Rescue. Kaili from this rescue walked me through how to safely catch this poor rabbit (whom we named Pearl) when it was quickly evident that she had been dumped. Little Pearl was covered in ticks, had broken teeth, and a tumor. Kaili lovingly nursed her back to health, and now she is part of our family.

I saw the daunting number of rabbits RCRR was dealing with and wanted to help in whatever way I could. We adopted our forest rescue, Pearl, and now we foster rabbits as well. It has been a wonderful experience for our kids to bond with the animals and learn pet ownership and responsibility under adult supervision. My kids comment all the time on how lucky we are to have our bunnies, and it never would have happened if we hadn't had our very own forest rescue!

Thelma, Prue, and Lottie are the cutest little family who is finally ready to find their forever home. Thelma was caught at the Lewiston bowling alley and gave birth to Lottie and Prue in care. These boys originally were syringe fed because they were struggling as newborns. Eventually they were able to be reunited with mom weeks later when they were more stable. We refer to them as the miracle boys. These three are being adopted out together as they are best friends and have lived together their entire lives. All three are spayed and neutered and ready to be the center of your world! Lottie is the most confident, Prue is the second, and Thelma has come so far! If you are looking for a bonded set of buns, consider this trio! They are fostered in Norway, Maine.

Well friends.

One of our close community members had to head into work yesterday on his day off because 3 sweet rabbits were dumped outside of their building. And today? He had to crawl under a shed in the pouring rain to catch a 4th rabbit that they didn’t realize was there.

The contracted shelter for the town they were caught in doesn’t have space for them which means we have no choice but to take them without having space for them.

Surrendering an animal is not wrong. We understand, we really do, it happens. But dumping animals IS wrong, there is no good excuse for it, and there are not enough laws in place to protect animals and hold people accountable.

It is up to us to every one of us to speak up, and advocate when we see these things happening, don’t assume somebody else will. Thank you to the people who spoke up to get these guys safe before much time had passed! And thank you Matt and Jennifer for stepping up to get this done and house them!

Welcome to the gang Ron, Harry, Hermione and Ginny. 💕

Please help donate to their care if you are in a position to! We so greatly appreciate it.👇🏼

Did you know we have two baby guinea pigs up for adoption?

That’s right — two. Baby. Guinea pigs. 🥹💞

And somehow…they’re not getting any interest!

Toblerone and Jellybean (a.k.a. Toby & Jelly) are a sweet, bonded pair of boys looking for their forever home.

While guinea pigs are considered exotic pets, Jelly and Toby are worth the daily upkeep! Washable bedding helps keep things looking fresh and clean!

These boys need plenty of veggies, hay, and space to stretch their legs to show off adorable “popcorns” AKA little hops of pure joy.

Curious about guinea pig care or ready to welcome this cute duo into your life?

Thinking about bringing home a rabbit from the fair? ✨

Bunnies can make amazing companions, but they’re often a bigger commitment than people realize. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you decide:

🐇 They live a long time – Rabbits can live 10+ years, so they’re a long-term part of the family.

🐇 Specialized vet care – Rabbits need exotic vets, which can be harder to find and can cost more than a typical dog or cat visit.

🐇 Lots of cleaning – Rabbits p**p 200–300 times a day! Their litter boxes need regular cleaning to keep them (and your home) healthy.

🐇 Space to thrive – A hutch or small cage isn’t enough. Rabbits need room to hop, stretch, and explore every day.

🐇 Curious chewers – Wires, furniture, and baseboards can all become chew toys if a home isn’t bunny-proofed.

🐇 Allergies & life changes – The most common reasons bunnies end up surrendered are allergies, kids losing interest or not helping with care, or when kids head off to college and the rabbit is left behind.

💡 What families can do instead if you fall in love with fair bunnies:
✨ Visit a local rabbit rescue to meet adoptable bunnies and learn what caring for them is really like.
✨ Consider fostering — many rescues provide supplies and guidance, and it’s a great way to learn if a rabbit is the right fit.
✨ Spend some time researching together as a family so that when the time is right, you’ll be fully prepared to welcome a bunny home.

Rabbits are sweet, silly, and rewarding pets when their needs are met. The best gift you can give a bunny is making sure you’re ready for the commitment before bringing one home. ❤️🐇
