Yes. Rabbits adopted from MMRS are neutered and vaccinated before leaving for their new homes.
Neutering is an important part of rabbit welfare, helping prevent unwanted litters, reducing the risk of certain reproductive diseases and making safe bonding with a companion possible.
Vaccination helps protect rabbits against serious diseases including myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD).
Rabbits are wonderful, intelligent and often misunderstood animals with surprisingly complex welfare needs.
MMRS specialises in rabbits so we can focus our knowledge, space and resources on giving them the standard of care they deserve.
And on a personal level, rabbits have had my heart for a very long time — they're the reason the Meadows exists in the first place.
Rabbits can make wonderful companions, but they're not easy or low-maintenance pets.
They need lots of space, rabbit companionship, a suitable diet, enrichment and access to rabbit-savvy veterinary care. As prey animals, many also dislike being picked up and prefer interaction at ground level.
Rabbits can live for 10 years or more, so bringing them home is a long-term commitment. They're also not children's pets — although rabbits can be wonderful family companions, an adult should always take responsibility for their care.
Before adopting, we strongly recommend researching their welfare needs and making sure rabbits are the right fit for your family and lifestyle.
They certainly can be! Rabbits are often mistakenly thought of as inexpensive pets, but caring for them properly comes with significant ongoing costs.
Hay, food, bedding, vaccinations, insurance and enrichment all add up, and veterinary treatment can become expensive very quickly — particularly if specialist care is needed.
It's always worth considering both the everyday costs and unexpected vet bills before bringing rabbits into your family.
There are lots of ways to support the Meadows — and they don't all involve spending money! 💜
Sharing our posts, following our social pages and telling others about MMRS helps more rabbits and potential adopters find us.
If you'd like to support us financially, you can donate, purchase items from our wishlist or support one of our fundraising appeals.
Most importantly, help us spread the word about good rabbit welfare. Better education means happier rabbits — and fewer needing rescue in the first place.
