Hello all! Long time, no post. Things have been kind of busy (defended my thesis, moved 3,000 miles across the country, got engaged, etc…all with the floppy one in tow!).
I was wondering if there are any Richmond, Virginia house rabbit people. There does not seem to be ANY local resources and we would love to support them if they were available! Also, we will need someone to watch the diva occasionally and would love to have some idea of who to contact… the only alternative we have come up with is driving her to my parents (5+ hours away) for them to watch her – and if you think 5+ hours of driving is bad for us, you should see the hissy fit Lola throws when she has to go for a car ride. She HATES it. I guess that’s what happens when you are stuck in the car across country for 6 days…you think she would have grown used to it by now.
If anyone has any idea – please give me a shout out!
And here is a gratuitous Lola picture in her Halloween costume being ever-so-thrilled!

That picture just made my day, nay my week. So adorable!!! A Peng-bun.
Good to hear from you!
Here is a link to some Virginia rabbit rescues

I’m on an IPad and the link doesn’t want to work, sorry.

I have to say – since logging back in I’ve spent way too much time looking at all the cute, fluffy faces on here. It’s cured my furlough woes a little.
Rufus – thanks! wish we would have taken video of her running around the room with it on…she would have been a YouTube sensation.
LPT – I have looked into those and they are all in Northern VA except Virginia Rabbit, Inc. who my fiance has been in contact with to try to see if they know of anyone in the central Virginia area.
NewBunnyOwner – that would still be a trek…but thanks for the advice! it’s something to look into.
We are just trying to find someone in like a 30-60 minute radius of Richmond to reduce Lola’s car ride trauma if she needs to go somewhere and have a “just in case” resource for boarding. We don’t travel a lot but trying to explain to someone how to take care of a house rabbit seems to be a lot more difficult than a cat or dog.
People just don’t take you too seriously which is lame…and they tend to look at you like you are crazy when you try to explain you have a rabbit that has long fur that she is constantly grooming and has had two bouts of GI issues so you have to monitor her poops.
