And I, personally (and on behalf of All Bunnies Everywhere), thank you Incredible Peeps who offered to open your home to this little guy or to help transport him to the ends of the earth.

We're trying to find a way to get a disabled bunny from Los Angeles to Edinburg, PA where the new home is medically savvy. Here's the info on the little fuzzie. Needs home badly.

if not possible, is there someone you know who might be able to fly him? thanks for your time.

1. Is the animal capable of tolerating ground transport? If so, please save a pilot for an animal who will have a difficult time traveling and being transported from vehicle to vehicle.

disabled, ground transport not an option. he is healthy and not in any pain. young, too, which helps.

2. Is the animal a special needs case? This would include medical, senior age, amputee, etc. Please list the weight, size and breed of each animal you are asking to be transported. This is important for pilots to know.

hind legs paralyzed, very young (not more than 6 mos), 3-3.5 lbs, see pictures in link above

3. Consider the flight time allowed to accommodate each pilots type of plane. A good rule of thumb is approximately a 3 hour flight. This equates to approximately 400 miles. Anything beyond that would have to be coordinated with a second pilot and plane. This is not impossible but can be difficult due to varying weather conditions in different areas.

2400 miles looks like it equals about 7 stops or if a commercial air employee is out there who could take him in-cabin.

4. Please allow at least a two day lead time for the requested day of flight. Planes need to be maintained and the weather is always a determining factor. Have a back up plan ready for any delays. It is also recommended that you do not feed the animal being transported the morning of the flight. Water is fine, feeding take place on the receiving end.

rabbits need to eat hay throughout the day or their gastointestinal tract can shut down.

5. Communication and promptness is paramount. It is important for rescues to be waiting for the pilot on each end of the transport and please name the sending and receiving rescues in your message request.

will do. there are lots of rabbit people along the way.

6. Please have the necessary paperwork that is accompanying the animal and a collar and leash supplied. A rabies certificate and a health certificate are recommended.

will do. rabies cert not required for rabbits.rabbitmatch
