Arnie 🪽 Feb 2022 - Aug 2024

We lost Arnie 🌈 💔

Arnie never caught a break. He joined us in December 2023 with serious dental & optic issues (see previous post for pics on his condition on arrival).

He was a runt of a litter and unfortunately let down on many levels. He was sold by a vile breeder who lied, he was taken on by someone who tried but didn’t provide enough of the specialist care he required (through no fault of her own), and sadly suffered for almost his whole life.

We removed his teeth eventually (once he built up the strength), we worked on his blind eye and issues it was causing. We medicated and cleaned most days. He was so close to being in a place to remove the eye and start the next chapter of his life.

However, an acute tummy parasite hit him for six and he just couldn’t recover, and we lost him on the 9th August 💔

Over the last 8 weeks he had finally found a fwend in Thumper and were so thrilled he got to experience this love and companionship. He deserved this so much.

Things don’t feel the same, but maybe he’s finally at peace after suffering so many ailments with us and before he arrived.

Arnie, we are sorry that so many days involved cleaning your eye which you hated. We are sorry you were scared. We hated doing it as much as you hated us doing it.
We wanted everything for you, but it wasn’t meant to be.
This world was so unfair to you,
we hope that over the 🌈 is better ❤️

Love you wee man x

Spirit,
Your legacy will last forever.

Plestia has reached her first milestone as she has now survived 6 months post EC seizure and although we all face daily battles she is flourishing, and inspiring us everyday.

This week Plesh upgraded to a larger area with access to being around Sweepsy & Baloo. She couldn’t have taken this more in her stride, and shown us she was ready for this next step. The area is an increased size of 1 square metre as we hope to build her strength slowly for when she uses her wheels.

There are decision to be made over the next 4 weeks as to leg amputation, with the risk/reward quandary taken into account. This decision will not be taken lightly, and everything we do is for the betterment of pleshy’s life as we want her hopeful few years ahead to be with comfort and less required cleaning for her to deal with.

We will keep everyone updated as much as possible and if amputation is decided then we might be trying to organise a fundraiser that we will need you all to help us with.

Here is a little dump of her enjoying her new digs with her new fwends ❤️

July is a special month for The Witch and The Warren because it’s MY BIRTHDAY! And what better way to celebrate than to raise money for our beloved 🐰 Hoppy Acre have done so much for us, giving constant love and support, not to mention bringing our precious Tonks, Moony and Lupin into our lives after the loss of our angel girl, Pumpkin. So I want to give back for my birthday this year and for that I need your help. If everyone could donate even just £1 this month, we could raise an amazing amount of money for the sanctuary that would go towards their mounting vet bills. Hoppy Acre are currently full, with emergency intakes and a waiting list, so they need all the help they can get. No amount is too small and I would be so grateful if you could help me raise money for buns in need 🐰 Link in bio 🩷

Leo 🪽

You stole our hearts the second you arrived and you take a piece of our ❤️ with you over the 🌈

Leo joined us for the last chapter of his life in February this year. From the moment he arrived we knew his time would be limited as he has a nasty (non contagious) chest infection that caused him difficultly to breathe and would result in needing his nose cleared daily, nebulising and oral meds which we did, and he handled like a champ every time. 6 months of daily care wasn’t easy for anyone but Leo made it easier. He never made us feel bad or guilty for having to handle him, and placing him in positions he wouldn’t want to be in. He was an amazing little bun.

When Baloo went through his awful EC situation and was downed for 3 days, Leo would be there next to him. Even though he was always fighting his own battles. He did the same for Grandma Bear when she started to lose her battle.

He was a special one 💫

Leo spent his time at Hoppy with Baloo, Sweepsy & Grandma Bear who accepted him and Leo loved them all so much. Him & Sweepsy these last weeks have been joint at the hip ❤️

We miss you Leo, so much 💔
Rest in paradise forever 🌈

Go find Grandma Bear buddy 🙏🏼

It’s a Rainbow kind of 🌈

Rainbow & parter Ramsey have been at Hoppy for a month now and have really settled down and although they are moving to their new home soon, we are making the most of soaking in this gorgeous girls total chill. You can find her sleeping anywhere where she is squished in as tightly as possible.

Ramsey on the other hand has a lot more energy to burn.
We are pretty sure rainbow pretends to be sleeping most of the time 👀 🫠

As of 21st June 24, we are full. We have just been asked to take on two more buns which we will at the end of the month.

We really need to get some adoptions organised asap and we will be positing all available buns in next few days.
Please share 🙏🏼

Help us 🤝
Help them 🤲🏼

Grandma Bear,

The most poignant thing we can say right now is we are at the end of an era for us Hoppy hoomins now you’ve left us. You taught us so much, and will be part of the next era through your legacy with Cooper and Freddie that will carry on forever.

We are blessed to have been part of your life 🙏🏼
We will do you proud 🫶🏼
We will see you all again one day 🐾

Cooper | Freddie | Grandma Bear 🪽

Beau 🐾🪽🌈

A huge part of Hoppy’s heart has crossed the rainbow bridge after an ongoing battle against severe arthritis. We cupped his chin and kissed his head (his fav), as he left this life.

He lived alongside and or with 8 buns during that time and truly loved them all. He loved everybun unconditionally.

To the most gentlest of giants we had the honour of living with. We loved every second, and although your time was short, we hope you had the best 10 months with us and that you loved finally having fwends after 7 years. You were let down for too long. But, we hope you loved being here and forgive us for endless syringes and injections ❤️

In our memories forever ❤️
Hoppy 🙏🏼

Plestia Update 🐇🗞️

- We are glad to let everyone know that this little angel has put on 60g so far.

- She’s using her back legs well and can hold herself upright for long periods.

- She’s eating and toileting well. We are teaching her how to use a drinking bottle so that she can become more self dependent.

She has stolen our hearts and by the outpouring of love you have shown her, she has stolen yours as well 💞

Thank you to everyone who has sent donations for her care. Thank you to all of you that support us everyday.

Hoppy New Year y’all 🥳

We were so thrilled to be part of two special fwends get married. Ryan & Bonita adopted sweet Frankie & Binx a year ago and have been such a huge support with growing Hoppy Acre’s work by sharing us to to the rabbit community and all you Bun Mums (that’s what we call you lot with insta bun accounts ☺️).

Congrats

As you can see, you can take the hoomins out of Hoppy, but you can’t take Hoppy out of the hoomins 🐰 🐾

Welcome our latest emergency arrival Arnie ❤️

This little guy is a victim of disgusting animal breeders that sold him too young, as a runt and lied to the person that bought him two years ago.

Since then, his potential issues have developed and although they were kept in check for the first part of his life, the factor of money and a terminal illness has meant that over the last few months he has ended up in this very sad state. We wish we were contacted earlier so he didn’t suffer. We wish all of our support to his previous caregiver in her fight for her life. We hope they can meet again in 2024.

He joined us last Saturday in a really sad state as you can see.

He is blind in one eye but currently the eye can stay.
He will need all of his front teeth removed.
He is half of what his body weight should be.
He needs to be neutered.
We have vaccinated him already.

He is already on his road to recovery. If you look through the slides you will see how he has already found his confidence with us.

Little Arnie, we will get you back our fwend. The rest of your life starts now and you will get everything you need.

If you would like to help up help Arnie, please make a donation to us using the PayPal link in our bio 🔗

Please share little Arnies story 🙏🏼

A huge thank you to Tari Vets Shenfield for prioritising this little guy. Having you makes this so much more possible for us and them.
