Meet the Bunnies

Batgirl is a mini Rex rabbit who was surrendered to MMFS in the summer of 2024 with her bonded pair, Jupiter. These two had a loving family who’s home was significantly damaged by the Vermont floods. They needed to find them a new home. Jupiter and Batgirl can often be found cuddling together.

Blue is a lovely lop rabbit. He is calm and friendly. He was surrendered to MMFS after his family could no longer care for them after they found out they were allergic to him. We absolutely love his personality and he gets plenty of love and pets at the sanctuary. He is a favorite of the kids in our afterschool program.

Eddie is a harlequin bunny. He is a good sized boy with beautiful coloring. He has a docile and calm personality, and we love it when he gets comfy and stretches out for his naps. He was surrendered to the sanctuary after his owner had an extreme allergic reaction to him.

Jessica Rabbit came to us from NYC where she traveled via Amtrak to the great state of Vermont to join us at MMFS. She is a 1.5 year old Flemish Giant who needed a change of scenery and she was facing an uncertain future in NYC if she got returned to her original owner who would have used her for breeding or potentially used her as a meat rabbit. She was a loved classroom rabbit last year, but her teacher went on maternity leave and her circumstances changed yet again leaving her to live in a smaller area and forming some wounds on her legs. Since she has gotten to MMFS she has had a lot of attention, been to the vet to access her wounds, and we are making plans and trying to find an affordable spay option for her with some of the clinics we work with. Spaying a rabbit is a risky and expensive surgery, but also vital to their long term health. We look forward to her becoming more and more comfortable with the world at MMFS.

Jupiter is a holland lop rabbit who was surrendered to MMFS in the summer of 2024 with his bonded pair, Batgirl. These two had a loving family who’s home was significantly damaged by the Vermont floods. They needed to find them a new home. Jupiter and Batgirl can often be found cuddling together.

Herbie and Wendall came to us in December 2024. These two very handsome, lop bunnies came in from a request from Animal Control near the NY/VT line. They had been deserted in a house after the people had moved out. Herbert had a life threatening problem going on in his genital area that the vet felt like made his life truly at risk. We jumped in to get him into surgery immediately, and luckily the surgery went well. Wendall also was neutered and they are both living together enjoying their carefree life.

Phabio is an Angora bunny whose hair is unbelievably soft. He is social and cuddly. He loves to be held and petting. Keeping up with his coat is no easy feat. Luckily Phabio has a little fan club of volunteers who come several times a week to brush him and remove any mats to keep him looking and feeling good. He is a wonderful ambassador bunny with his friendly personality and is loved by all the kids who meet him.

Arthur is a 4 year old lionhead, lop rabbit. He was brought into a local veterinary clinic due with a severe eye infection. His family surrendered him to the veterinary clinic - and they called us for assistance. When Arthur arrived at Merrymac Farm Sanctuary in September 2024, it was clear he was in very poor health. His eye was infected with a growing tumor and he was having major digestive concerns. He will also need to be neutered. In March 2025, Arthur’s journey continued with a trip to Massachusetts for specialty surgery. This very special boy is on the mend and we can’t wait to see him thrive! Read more
