Fife rabbit rescue is based at  my home in Newburgh. Rabbits come to the rescue from all different circumstances, from much loved  to severely neglected. Once they are here, they are given a health check by Claire Poole from Logie veterinary surgery.  Then they are  neutered and vaccinated before going to a new home.

All the rabbits here are loved and cared for but there is only me... and all of them! So I try to get them into new homes as soon as possible, I give them all the time I can, but they deserve more.

Click "our rabbits" on the main menu to see the rabbits available for adoption.


The rescue survives from donations I receive when rabbits are re homed and sometimes from donations that are given when rabbits come into the rescue, and from occasional fund raising,  funds are generally very low so any donations are always welcome.

When adopting rabbits from the
rescue. I require a minimum donation of £65 for a female and £50 for a male. This helps me to cover some of what I have spent on the rabbits for their neutering and vaccination as well as any other treatment they may have required. The rabbits themselves are free!
I run the  rescue on my own and receive no payment for what I do. The work that I do here is done for the love of rabbits not for profit.

VHD  ensure your rabbit is vaccinated Lapinject is best vaccine to use, ask your vet.


You are very welcome  to visit the rescue but please telephone to make an appointment.

Myxomatosis Alert
Written by Kareen   
Tuesday, 22 July 2008 17:23

Every year Myxomatosis kills hundreds of domestic rabbits as well as wild rabbits.

Myxomatosis is typically spread by blood sucking insects and in particular the rabbit flea. This flea is frequently found on wild rabbits and transmission in the absence of bites is unusual. All breeds of domestic rabbit can be affected, with little to suggest that one breed is more susceptible than another, and whatever the lifestyle of your rabbit there is a potential risk of this disease. So even house rabbits can get Myxomatosis. Always keep a regular check on pets for any signs of fleas and consider the regular use of an insecticidal treatment from your vet. There is also evidence to suggest that mosquitoes and other biting flies may transmit myxomatosis in the UK, so nets and insect repellent can be used to combat this threat in warmer weather. Your vet will be able to advise you further on these measures, since not all products are suitable or safe for rabbits.

Most importantly you should vaccinate your rabbits against Myxomatosis every 6 months. This will help prevent this cruel and painful virus. So don’t delay have it done today!
