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 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
Ben Ledi
"The bottom bun" - chaos creator
|
Our newest sanctuary bunny - little Ledi! In 2024 we rescued a family group of rabbits who were living in a tiny hutch in a child's bedroom and all inbreeding, we called them the "Hoppy Hillwalkers". Ben Ledi was the last surviving baby to be born, she was the runt and needed help being hand reared. Fast forward a year and she was still in the rescue, having had to have 5 surgeries and constant medical issues. The decision was made that it was in her best interest to stay and become an official sanctuary bunny due to her long term health issues and special care requirements. She is our little wild child and requires constant monitoring as she has a desire to cause chaos and hurt herself but her antics have led to the nation falling in love with her. She can be best described as "unique" and she brightens everyone's day. Her bright bubbly personality has brought a sparkle back to our sanctuary group as she has injected some young, playful energy in to the old boys.

Behemoth
"The Alpha" - King of the Rescue
|
Behemoth & his sister 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 12 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.

Bumble
Jack of all Trades - The hard worker
|
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.

Biddy
|
Our very own Biddy is a strong and resilient girl who endured horrific hardship but is now a shining inspiring example of courage and care. She came from one of the worst welfare cases we have ever experienced ("the inspirational buns") and she was one of the few lucky ones to make it out. Because of this trauma she will never truly be a "normal" bun and is very much wild but we respect this and promote fear free interactions on her terms. Biddy is a kind, caring and patient bun who has a nurturing attitude. She is extremely gentle and loves Bop so much, she is so patient with him and is kind and always considerate. The way to Biddy's heart is through food, she is a grubber and loves her food. Prepare for nudges if you have food. She loves fresh grass and nothing makes her happier than a fresh forage bouquet! Biddy lives with her friend Boppity and they are a separate bonded sanctuary pair due to Bop's hormonal issues.

Boppity
|
Boppity is our current oldest sanctuary bun at 11 years old. Despite being an oldie, he is quite the bouncy little fella and loves to bounce around and keep busy. Sadly he was surrendered over to the rescue at 10 years old and he was not in a position to go up for adoption due to his current health status. He has a hormonal disorder which causes him to act like an unneutered male, but he lives happily with Biddy as a bonded pair and despite being on palliative care, he does very well and enjoys his home comforts.
