About our Sanctuary
Here at Baby Blue Bee Bunnies we offer a sanctuary place here with us for bunnies who enter our rescue who have special needs or are elderly to live out their happy retirement with lots of love and other bunny friends. These are rabbits who cannot otherwise find a home.
Our group of resident buns are all rabbits who have found their way to the rescue and can't be adopted, have special needs or are elderly and retired. Most of them have health issues meaning they need on going treatment. Our group live at the rescue in the Directors home where they live free roam indoor and they also have an extensive runaround play system outdoors for good weather days.
We also offer select sanctuary spaces for special needs giant buns from other rescue centres across the UK who cannot be rehomed or need specialist care. This is because we know how complex giant buns are and how difficult it is to find them homes if they have special needs also with how much space they need. Often giants have many health issues including joint and back end mobility issues and eye/ear issues. We have a lot of experience with special needs giants and our sanctuary buns have complete free roam space and 24/7 care as well as top exotic vet care and treatment.

Meet Our Sanctuary Bunnies
Granny Bessie
|
Granny Bessie was surrendered to us in 2022 after the loss of her sister made her very lonely. She is almost 15 years old and is affectionately known as our little "granny". She may be blind and quite frail, but that doesn't stop her showing how she feels about things as she is very expressive. She sadly has severe arthritis, spondylosis and splayed legs, so she lives on vetbed to help keep her dry and soft as she gets herself around. Her daily pain medication helps her feel comfortable and this helps her enjoy her favourite activity - munching and hopping through her grassy tunnel. She goes through a grassy tunnel every week and her favourite day is new tunnel day!

Behemoth
|
Behemoth & his sister have had to stay with us as sanctuary bunnies after Behemoth was diagnosed with a severe progressive form of arthritis which has left him paralysed in his front legs. He is our largest giant bunny at the rescue and is the size of a large spaniel! Sadly this causes him lots of health and mobility problems that need managed with physiotherapy, acupuncture and lots of medicine every day. He gets 9 syringes of meds every day! This boy loves his food and he gets so much joy from spending time watching the birds and munching non stop, although he does demand that you bring it to him on his rug and serve him like a King. There is no doubt that he is the boss around here and that we are his servants! He loves to gnaw branches and chew anything that comes in his way, including your trouser leg.

Bunzilla
|
Unlike her name suggests, this big girl is no monster, she is just a big friendly giant. She has had to stay with us along with her brother as they have such a strong bond and are always together, checking on each other and snuggling up in a big pile up. She is a super affectionate bun who adores head rubs and kisses and will nudge your leg forcefully whenever she sees you to demand cuddles. She is at her happiest when she is rampaging around the rescue garden, eating all the shrubs and flowers. You will often see her sitting in a plant pot demolishing the plants or digging and rolling around the flower beds. Due to her sheer size, she is at risk of developing the same arthritis so requires regular check ups and a specially adapted set up that she lives in with Behemoth to prevent any injuries.

Valentino
|
Valentino was found as a stray, dumped and in a horrific state so we don't know his age or background. Goodness knows what he witnessed, but it has affected him as he really hates going outside! He was taken in by another rescue and rehabilitated then we offered him a sanctuary home with us. He is a strong big giant with bolshy behaviour and loves being group Alpha. Sadly he suffers with cystic lumps that appear on his body and has issues with his ears and joints so needs ongoing care and medical treatment. He is quite the character who charms all who he meets, you can hear him thundering down the hallway with his humungous feet. He loves to charge around and doesn't let his size stop him jumping up onto the dining table to try and steal food. We call him the blood hound as he can sniff out food a mile away, we are sure he uses his big lugs to waft the scent of food near to his big button nose.

Harrod
|
Harrod is our little shy bun who we rescued in 2015 from living under a garage where he was traumatised. He screamed for many months when he was touched and it took us a long time to gain his trust. Hedoesn't like changes to his routine or meeting new people. He is very cautious about things and who he trusts. He does have a cheeky side to him and wiggles his bum at you once he snatches the treat. He absolutely loves a head rub if you lie quietly with him and he will purr away. He has the softest fur of the whole group but he often has a permanent tutu tufty bum which he does not enjoy getting plucked! For the first 4 years of his life he had helicopter ears and one stood right up, it never once went down. He was devoted to his bunwife, our dear Macy and would bow at her feet night and day never leaving her side. On the day she died, his up ear flopped down and he whimpered for 2 weeks, not moving from one spot. His ear has never went back up and we know he still misses her. Never have we seen such a broken heart in a bun, even though they have always been in a big group and had lots of other company he has never been the same since he lost his one true love, his Alpha and Queen. Interesting fact about Harrod, he is neither a boy nor a girl. We refer to him as "he/him" but he was born with hermaphroditism due to inbreeding so he doesn't have either sexual organs.

Bumble
|
This little boy has so much attitude! He is our smartest sanctuary bunny and knows dozens of tricks, he absolutely loves clicker training and comes running when you shout his name. He loves to dig blankets and throw things, he is such a diva we are often unsure if he is truly a boy. He always had a gentle nature until his bunny mamma Macy passed away and then he stepped up and became the stroppy pants that his mamma was. He is always binkying around the house and is often found in the morning sat up on the couch. He likes to hop up onto your knee and back and is extremely nosy, he will always be the first one to check out new things and isn't shy! He knows what he wants and likes and he will put his little paws up on you and you'll be sure to give in to his demands. He enjoys looking after his bun family by nipping their backsides and telling them off. This little diva has our heart as he was born with us in 2016 after we took his mamma in and she gave birth to him and his two brothers. Sadly he is the last of them now with us as his two brothers and mamma have passed away. Last year he suffered with appendicitis and sacculitis which took him a while to recover from, since then he has been back to his cheeky self.
