It’s true that most of my pet photography clients are dogs and cats in and around Minneapolis, but they’re not the only ones that could use some great photos and a little help now and then. With spring fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to feature the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society (MCRS) as our March Rescue of the Month. Now is also a great time to spread the word about NOT buying children bunnies for Easter. While they make fantastic pets for the right family, they’re not something to purchase on a whim. They can live for 10-15 years, require care similar to a cat or dog, vet visits, exercise, a properly-sized indoor home, companionship and love. Females have about an 85% chance of getting uterine or ovarian cancer if they’re not properly spayed. So if someone you know is considering a bun for their kids’ Easter basket, maybe buy them a chocolate one instead :)
MCRS is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the number of unwanted rabbits and improving the lives of companion rabbits by educating the public and assisting other animals shelters that take in buns. They’re striving to eliminate the need to euthanize adoptable rabbits in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas.
The group hosts “Hoppy Hours” where your rabbits can socialize and hop around with their friends, Bunny Basics classes to learn how to best care for your bun, and even rabbit agility classes! They also sell low-cost, high-quality food and supplies.
If you’d like to help out the MCRS, you can sponsor your favorite buns, become a member, donate supplies, or buy some MCRS gear at Cafe Press. You can check out their Facebook page here, contact them for more information at info@mn.companionrabbit.org, or you can contact their spokesbunny, LadyBug, for some bun insights and advice.
Harriet is a cutiepants Lionhead / English Spot mix looking for her forever home. She loves Hoppy Hours, does great with the litter box, and is a very confident little lady.
Pretty Uma is an English Spot with caramel coloring. She loves eating hay and being petted. Her adoptive family reluctantly gave her back to MCRS as she never bonded with their first rabbit, and felt she’d be happier in another home. She’s really sweet and, if I may say so, quite photogenic.
Lola is a Rex, and possibly the softest thing I’ve ever touched. Ever. Her fur is seriously something to experience. She loves attention and being held, and will be happiest as an only rabbit.
Oh my gosh. I would love to have Harriet. I already have a rabbit and am not sure how Punky would like another bunny. She’s pretty spoiled and independent. What great shots, as usual.
Does Uma have an ear tattoo? Is that common? What pretty bunnies!
OMG! These are awesome!!! :)
I am so excited to see Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society bunnies in your camera lens! I’ve often wondered how rabbits would photograph for you and I see the results are brilliant. Great choice for rescue of the month!
@Sheena – Uma was part of a large breeder surrender and ear tattoos are commonly used by breeders.
I just adopted Harriet today at the MCRS adoption event. The volunteers are nothing short of dedicated, passionate, and knowledgeable individuals. We look forward to bringing Harriet to Hoppy Hours to play with her friends. She is the sweetest little bun with a wonderfully spunky personality.
Oh yay!! Congratulations Georgia, she’s an awesome little bun :)
Beautiful Uma is currently at the Roseville Petco and she is a sweet, gentle English Spot! Your photography is amazing! Thank you so much for featuring MCRS for your Rescue of the Month!
Just wanted to say YEA GEORGIA! for adopting Harriet!
… and absolutely beautiful photos …
I love that first photo of Uma! All of these bunny photos are making me feel guilty for not photographing my Lucy more often. I don’t think I have an excuse now, Sarah! lol
