We were jumping for joy after we were rescued.

Maggie and Hedy
Before dawn one morning a few weeks ago, our security guard found a small parakeet cage by our front door, completely stuffed full with 10 baby bunnies ("kits").  They were jammed in so tight, on top of one another, they could barely even wiggle.

We were so worried the ones at the bottom had been crushed, but they somehow escaped injury.  All 10 -- 5 girls and 5 boys -- survived.  As soon as we set them up in bunny condos, they were ecstatically munching Timothy Hay and fresh veggies and drinking fresh water in obvious delight, jumping and racing about in joy and relief.

Our best guess, based on the reckless cruelty of their abandonment, and the fact that some were New Zealand Whites, was that they were being raised for food, either for people or snakes.  (Sometimes friends and family members of owners who eat rabbits will rescue them and bring them to us.)

Maggie and Hedy are two of the girls who are now spayed and ready for adoption into loving homes.  Both are approximately 4 months of age.  Maggie is a Hotot mix and Hedy is a Dutch mix with blue eyes. 

They can be adopted separately.  But please consider adopting a pair for lifelong companionship.

Please visit Nevada SPCA's Lovebugs Room and ask for these sweet baby girls by name.
