Rabbit Meadows

It is with a heavy heart that I want to let everyone know that the founder of Rabbit Meadows, Sandi Ackerman, passed away on Friday, July 12th, 2024. Sandi was 81 years old.

Sandi spent over 35 years saving animals. Sandi started one of the first rabbit rescue organizations in the US and remained devoted to animals to the very end.

Sandi loved her animal friends and worked tirelessly to prevent their suffering and cruelty.

I hope that in Sandi's memory, you all will continue her mission of helping by spaying/neutering your animals, donating/volunteering your time to the rescues out there and treating all animals with love and respect.

On a personal note, i had volunteered with Sandi for almost 10 years. I never once saw her put her own needs first. I saw her bring back animals on the brink of death and turn them into loving pets willing to trust again. I never once saw her take a day off or go on vacation. Her life was devoted to animals and I'm sure she lost some friends in the process. At the end of her life, I hope she felt good about all her success stories and all the lives (animal and human) whose lives she impacted - Jessica Mango

Give your furry friends an extra "cookie" today in Sandi's memory.

Spreading like wildfire’: Rabbit disease decimating bunny population on Whidbey Island

‘Spreading like wildfire’: Rabbit disease decimating bunny population on Whidbey Island The virus is called rabbit hemorrhagic disease, or RHDV2. It’s highly contagious and fatal for rabbits.

Summer time. Check your rabbits frequently.

It’s officially summer! And that means the sun is out and the thermometer is rising ☀️ As we get ready to enter a heat wave this week, here are some tips to keep your bunnies safe and cool! 1. Bunnies do not tolerate temperatures over 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so be sure to have your AC or fans turned on (just make sure you do not blow them directly on your bunny!). If the room feels too hot, move them to the coolest room in your house. Check your bunny’s ears regularly to see if they feel too warm. 2. Provide frozen water bottles with the labels removed or cool tiles to lay on. One of our favorite products is the @thewellkeptrabbit Hop n’ Flops that allow you to insert frozen water bottles inside the pad! We also love Scratch and Newton’s Ice Pods available on Amazon. 3. If your bunnies are outside, move them inside ASAP. They should never be in direct sun or heat. 4. Hydration is key! Provide accessible, fresh water at all times and water-drenched veggies to encourage enrichment and hydration. 5. Be sure to keep an eye on your bunny. If they seem lethargic and are not eating or going to the bathroom, please reach out to your local exotic vet. Stay safe, friends! 🐰 #bunny #rabbit #bunniesofinstagram #rabbitsofinstagram #rabbiteducation #bunnyeducation #bunnyrescue #rabbitrescue #rabbithaven #rabbitsafety #bunnylove #rabbitsofig
