Their grocery bill is higher than yours and every cardboard box you encounter is analyzed for it’s ‘bunny appropriateness’ You don’t think twice when things end up with chew holes When people think of rabbits you immediately come to mind You know what your rabbit is thinking by the tilt of their head, their ears, etc. even when others think they’re just sitting there Every flower and every twig is considered for other uses as you walk in the forest You go on and on about how beautiful the Romaine lettuce was at the grocery store You thump when you’re angry You...

Thanks to our amazing group of rabbit lovers the Hop A Long Hollow now has a permanent heating and cooling system!! Check out all the pictures below! No more worrying about fires with the portable heaters and unclogging rabbit fur from portable A/C units. This system will be vastly more energy efficient and effectively cool and heat the shelter all the way to the back room! The rabbits say thank you to everyone who helped to support this, and our volunteers who clean the shelter daily also say a big thank you!

She has put together the Screwy Rabbit Hay Buffet which provides buns with plenty of hay without the pee! During July there is a 10% off sale, check out their website linked above for more info!

Ok, that might be a bit dramatic, and these cases happen far too often, but Hop A Long Hollow just took in two of the bunnies from a seizure of 75 angora rabbits in Canada. A network of shelters in the U.S. have taken in the bunnies to rehab and eventually adopt out to wonderful forever homes. We now have a sweet little female, she has been spayed and is enjoying a much more relaxed life right now. She was very dirty and her fur had to be cut, but she’s cleaning up and seems very happy. We will have one more coming to us soon. We will have pictures up soon! If you are interested in becoming...
