Baby Shower, Adoptions, Bondings, UPDATES!!

Ok, well let's see what all we can catch up on. I have totally been slacking here, so sorry! In the past month...
I caught a white bunny in Bridgeport named Cleo over a month ago who was in foster for a month and came back, got spayed and is now up for adoption.
Today I caught a bunny girl at the beach in Fairfield (Camille we will call her) and removed 4 ticks so far.
2 Saturdays ago we took in 2 bunnies from a severe neglect case out of New Haven. The little girl bun had an upper respiratory that has been treated and is cleared up, the little lop boy is a lovable maniac. Both will be altered next month.
Trixie and her babies came back to the Hollow, all grown up now and ready for adoption!
Magoo had surgery yesterday to remove an abscess and also to be neutered. Now we just have to get his kidney's back under control and he'll be ready for adoption!
On April 13th, the ladies of the Hollow had a Surprise Baby Shower for me! We got so many awesome little pink outfits for Katie with bunnies on them, I can't believe not a single duplicate! I'll be 8 months pregnant next week and have only 8 more weeks to go! Time Flies! I have been ordered to do 4 hours of bed-rest a day to keep down the chances of Preeclampsia, and Linda has not been well. We are both currently under control and doing better - Thank God & thank you to all our volunteers who have helped keep things going!
A bunny named Staten (from Manhattan) came in and was bonded to Sunshine. Their owners just came a couple of days ago and adopted Taz as well. They have another male bunny named Spotty that we are going to try to bond to Taz when Taz's hormones calm down a bit.
Small Fry is coming in for a bonding! Here is a link to their You-Tube video "The Rabbit Report." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jJae7OqU98
Ginger came in and was bonded to Paddy, they are such a matched set! Pictures below!
Ginger and Paddy!

Below is "Skateboard" (Casper) at his new home and below that picture is the also very lucky Guinea Pig "Speedy." They fell out of the shelter (Casper was in horrid condition when he came in from the Catskill Game Farm) and into love!

Jackson (gray lop adopted from the Hollow over a year ago) and his new gal-pal Jeanie with one of their 4 owners. Jeanie-Houdini, as her new family calls her, is into everything and teaching Jackson her crazy bunny ways! Jackson is up and about much more now with a friend!

Cookie and Uggs at their new home in their very own play house!

Peaches and Vanilla at their new home!


Big Wig Chilling out - he was adopted before I even became part of the Hollow, which seems to be forever now!


Above is Mars and his buddy Mantou, below is a quick update! Mars was adopted in 2006.


It has been a while now since we've adopted Mars from you...about a year and a half or two ago. You probably don't remember us by now but I just thought I'd give you an update on how the little guy is doing. Mars is an absolutely sweet guy who's smart as hell. He's just as bad as the dog when it comes to begging for treats. We took a family trip up to the Catskills this past November to do some hiking. We loved bringing Mars with us and I think he enjoyed the views from his bunny travel bag. I am attaching some pictures of Mars during this trip, one with him in his travel bag and the other with the dog.

Hope all is well!Regards,
Phyllis, Gene, Mars and Mantou

Below is a very silly Sweet Pea!

Ok, more updates and more to tell you soon, this has taken me forever and I need another nap!

Oh, by the way, we have chinchilla's as well as the buns up for adoption right now, and there is a ferret at the Humane Society in Westport, and we are also supposedly getting in about 5-10 hamsters on Saturday or Sunday if anyone is looking for a new furry to love! Brandee
