A
Hello
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in
to
this
special
rabbit
episode
of
animals
and
Ames.
My
name
is
Ron
Edwards
I'm,
the
animal
control
supervisor
here
for
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter
and
animal
control
program.
A
few
weeks
ago.
The
shelter
responded
to
a
case
of
animal
neglect
and
we
impounded
20,
rabbits
and
seven
chickens.
A
The
chickens
have
found
a
new
place
to
live
a
place
where
they're
going
to
be
cared
for
and
not
left
in
neglectful
situations
or
environments,
but
we
have
20
rabbits
here
at
the
shelter
we've
reached
out
to
the
house,
rabbit
Society
and
quite
a
few
different
states
and
different
chapters
within
those
states
and
asked
for
help
kind
of
some
emergency
assistance
here
for
housing
of
these
guys
and
unfortunately,
every
single
chapter
is
full
at
this
time.
So
we
still
have
a
few
calls
out
to
some
other
rabbit
rescue
organizations.
A
Unfortunately,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
rabbit
rescue
organizations
here
in
the
state
of
Iowa.
So
currently
we
have
25
rabbits
here
at
the
shelter
so-
and
this
is
a
shelter
that
was
probably
not
built
for
maybe
more
than
two
don't
really
have
the
space
environment.
For
them,
so
currently
20
of
the
25
rabbits
are
actually
taking
up
our
dog
kennels.
So
I,
don't
worry.
We
still
have
room
for
dogs,
but
these
guys
are
being
housed
in
our
dog,
kennels
and
the
environment
that
they
came
from.
As
I
mentioned,
it
was
a
neglect
case.
A
These
guys
were
not
given
proper
care
proper
attention,
their
kennel
environments
with
the
cages
that
they
were
in
were
not
clean
on
a
regular
basis,
and
these
guys
really
need
to
be
cleaned
up
after
every
single
day.
They
make
quite
a
bit
quite
a
mess.
So
it
was
a
very
difficult
situation
for
our
staff
to
go
into
and
see
the
condition
that
these
rabbits
were
in
so
we're
doing
everything
we
can
now
to
show
them
that
love
attention,
keeping
the
clean
keeping
them
well
Carol
cared
for
well-fed
until
we
find
that
forever
home.
A
For
them,
these
rabbits
were
actually
used
for
breeding,
so
they
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
handling
and
socialization
they're,
not
as
they're
not
mean
by
any
stretch
but
they're,
not
as
friendly
as
some
of
the
other
rabbits
that
we
have
here
at
the
shelter
for
adoption.
So
you
can,
you
can
pick
her.
This
here
is
Phoebe.
You
can
pick
her
up.
She
would
prefer
if
you
didn't,
but
she
is
one
of
20
that
came
from
that
house
in
those
horrible
situation,
her
horrible
conditions,
so
she
is
a
Rex.
A
We
understand
she
is
7
months
old,
so
she's
a
young
bunny,
beautiful,
beautiful
Rex,
and
if
you
know
anything
about
rabbits,
you
know
that
this
fur
is
just
so
soft
they're,
just
really
beautiful
creatures,
and
they
do
make
great
pets.
But,
as
I
always
say
when
I'm
talking
about
rabbits
is
they're,
not
a
pet
for
everybody,
they
do
require
again
a
lot
of
attention,
a
lot
of
care,
a
special
diet,
one
of
the
things
that's
very
important
to
them
is
getting
nice
green
leafy
vegetables.
A
So
we
have
some
Italian
parsley
here
and
she's
a
little
camera-shy,
so
she's
not
going
to
eat
it,
but
once
she's
in
the
kennel
she
sure
does
like
to
eat
this
parsley.
Cilantro
is
another
one
romaine
lettuce
and
there's
a
lot
of
different
things
and
a
lot
of
information.
We
definitely
want
our
potential
adopters
to
look
at
rabbit
org.
It's
the
house
rabbit
society's
national
webpage
and
there's
lots
of
information
about
caring
for
rabbits
and
what
you
need
to
do.
One
of
the
requirements
for
all
of
these
guys
is
that
they
live
indoors.
A
All
of
our
rabbits
are
adopted
to
indoor
only
homes.
We
do
not
adopt
rabbits
that
are
going
to
live
in
hutches.
These
guys
have
had
a
really
poor
start
at
life,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
the
rest
of
their
life
is
the
best
that
it
can
be
so
we're
going
to
be
really
picky
on
the
homes
that
were
adopting
out
these
rabbits
too.
But
this
one
here
is
Phoebe
she's
7
months
old.
She
is
a
Rex.
A
All
of
the
rabbits
will
be
spayed
or
neutered
before
they
go
home,
so
her
surgery
has
already
been
scheduled.
But
if
you
are
interested
seriously
interested
in
adopting
a
rabbit
again,
do
that
research
rabbit
org
come
down
here
fought
an
application.
You
can
talk
to
the
staff.
We
do
highly
recommend
that
rabbits
are
adopted
in
pairs.
We
already
have
some
that
are
bonded
buddies
and
even
some
that
are
triplets
that
are
a
bonded
triplet
pair
or
three
of
them,
so
Rapids
do
much
better
when
they
have
one
of
their
own
kind
that
lives
with
them.
A
So
we
are
looking
at
trying
to
pair
them
up
with
some
others,
of
course,
making
sure
that
they're,
spayed
or
neutered
first
before
that
happens.
So
if
you
have
some
rabbit
experience
and
want
to
open
your
heart
and
your
home
to
one
of
these
guys
come
on
down
to
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter.
We're
going
to
show
you
three
more
today,
keep
in
mind
that
we
have
25
here
at
the
shelter.
So
I'm
only
going
to
show
you
four
today,
but
we
have
25
rabbits
here
at
the
shelter
so
come
on
down.
A
And
our
next
guest
today
is
Harper.
Harper
is
actually
a
bonded
buddy
with
lilac.
So
she's
already
got
a
bonded
friend
who
looks
very
similar
to
her
a
little
bit
larger,
Harper
and
lilac
are
champagne.
They
are
gents,
I,
hope,
I'm
pronouncing
that
right
for
all
you
rabbit
enthusiasts
out
there,
so
she
is
a.
She
is
purebred,
a
very
popular
breed
from
what
I
understand
and
again
she
is
a
bonded
buddy
with
Harper
and
Harper
is
just
a
little
bit
bigger
than
she
is
both
females.
A
We
understand
they're
about
one
year
old
and
have
lived
with
each
other
for
most
of
that
time,
so
they
are
bonded,
buddies
and
want
to
get
these
guys
adopted
together.
So
also
when
you
look
at
rabbit
org,
you
look
at
the
different
breeds.
Champaign
D
argent
is
her
breed
and
you
can
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
specifics
about
that
particular
breed.
A
She
also
you
know,
as
with
all
of
these
bunnies,
they
have
not
had
a
whole
lot
of
handling,
so
they
still
need
some
reassurance
and
they
need
to
know
that
they're
not
going
to
be
harmed
in
any
way.
So
this
is
going
to
take
some
time
to
where
they
feel
comfortable
and
you
can
get
used
to
that
human
touch
and
and
human
love,
letting
them
know
that
everything
is
going
to
be
okay.
So
this
is
a
beautiful
bunny
here
and
again,
all
these
rabbits
deserve
better
homes
than
where
they
came
from.
A
A
So
it's
just
really
important
for
him,
like
I,
said
a
little
bit
different
than
all
the
rest
of
the
bunnies
that
that
he
has
given
that
very
special
home
that
all
of
them
deserve,
but
Norbert
it's
a
little
bit
more
of
a
special
needs
case
here.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
he
does
get
an
environment.
Where
he's
going
to
be
safe.
A
There
may
be
some
slight
little
site
that
he
may
see,
but
we
do
see
him
in
the
kennel
kind
of
learning
and
feeling
around
with
his
nose
where
he's
at
and
everything
so
he's
going
to
need
a
nice
bunny,
proofed
area
inside
the
house
where
he
can
live
out
the
rest
of
his
life.
We
understand
he
is
just
a
year
old,
so
that
condition
that
he
has.
There
is
I
understand
something
that
does
happen
from
time
to
time
on
with
even
these
young
guys.
So
he
is
also
a
Rex.
A
A
You
know
he's
one
that
maybe
even
come
up
to
you
and
will
sit
in
your
lap,
but
he's
not
going
to
be
one
that
you're
going
to
want
to
pick
up
a
lot
because
that's
going
to
scare
him
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that
to
Norbert.
So
if
you
have
an
extensive
rabid
experience
and
are
interested
in
Norbert,
come
on
down
to
the
show
that
we'd
love
to
introduce
you
to
him
and.
A
A
Another
thing
that's
important
for
bunnies,
too,
is
to
have
enrichment,
so
these
kind
of
hard
plastic
toys
here
are
things
that
they
love
to
flip
up
and
throw
around
and
run
around
and
play
with.
So
it's
really
nice
to
see
these
guys
have
some
toys
now
where
they
didn't
have
that
where
they
came
from.
So
it's
all
part
of
caring
for
these
guys
and
making
sure
that
we're
providing
them
with
a
best
possible
environment
with
all
of
the
bunnies
that
we
have
right
now.
A
We're
gonna
put
a
little
special
plea
out
there
to
get
some
assistance.
What
we're
really
hoping
that
our
viewers
will
do
is
to
donate
to
help
us
care
for
these
guys
until
we
can
find
them
that
perfect
forever
home.
So
we
need
timothy
hay.
That's
really
important.
We
use
Oxbow
timothy
hay,
the
rabbit
pellets,
we're
currently
using
Purina
rabbit,
pellet
breck,
'yes,
Town
and
Country.
Store
is
a
great
resource
there.
They
help
us
along.
A
So,
if
you're
interested
in
maybe
getting
a
gift
card
from
there
to
help
us
out,
you
can
just
go
purchase
those
products,
the
rabbit,
pellets,
Purina
or
the
Oxbow
Timothy
hey.
We
also
need
newspapers.
So
if
you
have
newspapers
at
home,
please
bring
them
in
each
one
of
these
boxes.
They're
lined
with
newspaper
to
help
absorb
some
of
the
urine,
but
the
rabbits
will
actually
eat
the
hay
here
as
they're
going
potty.
A
A
All
right,
thank
you
for
tuning
in
to
this
special
episode
of
animals
and
names
our
bunny
show.
Remember.
We
have
25
rabbits
here
at
the
shelter
that
need
really
good
homes.
We're
looking
for
great
homes,
for
these
guys,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they're,
given
everything
they
can
to
thrive
in
their
new
environment
and
show
them
that
they
can
be
loved
and
can
be
cared
for.
So
we're
really
hoping
to
get
some
great
adopters
to
come
down
again.
A
Rabbit
orgas
and
a
tremendous
tremendous
resource
for
people
that
are
interested
in
adopting
bunnies
tells
you
how
to
care
for
them
properly
appropriate
vet
care.
Not
all
vets
here
in
our
community
will
typically
see
rabbits.
So
there's
only
a
few
vets
that
kind
of
specialize
in
exotics,
which
are
rabbits
and
other
types
of
guinea
pigs
and
such
so.
A
A
Unfortunately,
no
dogs
right
now
for
adoption,
but
we
have
quite
a
few
cats
still
available
for
adoption.
Our
bird
Altair
is
still
here,
he's
a
parakeet.
He
probably
seen
him
on
the
last
episode
of
animals
and
Ames,
and
we
only
have
one
guinea
pig.
So
Sheldon
is
the
only
guinea
pig.
That's
here
at
the
shelter
all
the
other
guinea
pigs
have
just
been
adopted
actually,
as
of
yesterday.
So
some
great
animals
here
at
the
shelter,
some
beautiful
bunnies
that
deserve
a
better
life,
come
on
down
to
the
show.
A
A
A
lot
of
the
timothy
hay,
a
lot
of
the
rabbit
pellets
so
and
a
special
thank
you
to
the
staff
that
have
really
kind
of
worked
in
overdrive
to
care
for
these
guys
having
an
additional
25
rabbits
here
at
the
shelter
has
definitely
added
to
our
daily
chores
of
caring
for
the
animals.
So
come
on
down
meet
one
of
these
guys,
and
hopefully
we
can
send
one
home
with
you.
