Many people don't realize we take in every kind of animal - including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and other small pets. See photos of all these pets in our shelter right now on our view animals page. Below are photos of the hutches and rabbit play yards. In 2006 the rabbits were moved into rolling hutches (photo below) under the shelter of the collonade while their indoor area is designed and contstructed.

The rabbit play yards were added in January, 2002 in our wildlife area, located behind the regular rabbit hutches. The bunnies can be seen by the public in a much healthier environment, where they have room to hop, dig and play. Free access to hay and fresh greens completes the rabbit play area. Pictured below is Lancelot, aka Sir Digsalot, who was adopted in February. Despite his impressive tunneling and hole digging, we weren't worried about escaping, as the dirt is entirely contained in concrete, like a mini dirt-filled swimming pool. Volunteers also now have a safe place that they can hold and groom the rabbits (the small cement area just behind the fence in the photo) on a regular basis.

The bunny play area is divided into two separate yards, so that more rabbits can be rotated out of their hutches for daily "hop" time. Below is the north play yard.
