The Story of Turbo (Double) — The Ambassador Rabbit
Turbo (also known as Double) was first discovered abandoned under Highway 64 on September 23, 2013. He had been left behind in a small cage, completely deserted. By the time rescue volunteers arrived, both the rabbit and the cage were gone—locals said someone had taken the rabbit away.
Strangely enough, about two weeks later on October 4, 2013, Turbo appeared again — abandoned in exactly the same spot, inside the very same tiny blue birdcage. Yes, this poor rabbit was dumped in the same place twice!
This is how Turbo (Double) got his name — he experienced abandonment twice, yet never lost his spirited energy.
When volunteers arrived the second time, they acted quickly. A kind reporter who found him first brought him to safety before transferring him to the rescue association. The sight was heartbreaking — nearly four kilograms of rabbit squeezed into a birdcage so small that he couldn't even turn around. The cage had even been sealed shut and had to be cut open to set him free.
The Good Life at the Rescue Association
Because of his unique story and calm personality, the volunteers decided to let Turbo (Double) settle permanently at the shelter. He became the official ambassador of the Rabbit Lovers' Home and also serves as a "Rabbit Teacher" in educational classes for visitors and students.
As an ambassador, Turbo (Double) helps visitors feel the lively and affectionate nature of large white rabbits. His friendly presence breaks stereotypes and reminds people that every rabbit—no matter its size—deserves love and a second chance.
Through Turbo's story, the shelter hopes to inspire more people to adopt, not abandon, and to give other white rabbits waiting for homes the attention and love they deserve.
So let Double—our Turbo—keep spreading joy and turbocharging everyone's love for rabbits!

The Charm of Growing Rabbits
Rabbits are small bundles of energy when they're young, often hopping around with endless curiosity. As they grow, their personalities start to shine through—some become calm and gentle, while others remain as playful as ever.
"Rabbits can grow very big, but the bigger they get, the cuter they become."
This saying perfectly captures the magic of raising rabbits. Their large ears, round faces, and soft fur only make them more endearing over time. Watching them mature reminds us that growth doesn't take away innocence—it adds warmth and character to it.
Whether you raise one as a pet or simply admire them from afar, rabbits teach us that beauty often grows along with experience—and that love, much like a rabbit, only gets softer and sweeter as it grows.
The Price of Human Comfort
"The comfortable life of humankind comes from the sacrifice of countless laboratory rabbits."
Behind every modern medicine, cosmetic product, or scientific breakthrough, there are unseen lives quietly contributing to human progress. Laboratory animals, such as rabbits, have long been part of this hidden story, their suffering often overlooked as a necessary trade-off for human well-being.
These creatures endure controlled environments, painful tests, and shortened lives—all for the sake of innovation. While their sacrifices have undeniably advanced science and saved lives, they also challenge our conscience: can compassion and progress coexist?
In recent years, technological alternatives such as cultured cells, organ-on-chip models, and computer simulations have begun to replace live animal testing. These innovations offer a hopeful path forward—one that honors both scientific pursuit and ethical responsibility.
Remembering the cost behind our comfort is not meant to spark guilt, but awareness. With awareness comes the power to choose better—to innovate not through suffering, but through empathy and intelligence.
Treat Experimental Animals with Gratitude
Scientific discovery often relies on the contribution of animals that participate in research. Behind every new medicine, therapy, or biological breakthrough, there are lives that have helped humanity move forward in understanding and healing.
"Please be grateful to the experimental animals."
Gratitude reminds us that progress should never come without compassion. Researchers must ensure that every animal is treated with respect, care, and ethical responsibility. By doing so, we honor their silent sacrifice and reaffirm our commitment to humane science.
Let us continue to strive for scientific advancement hand in hand with empathy, ensuring that every life contributing to human knowledge is never forgotten or taken lightly.
Everyone Should Help a Big White Rabbit at Least Once in Their Life
"A simple act of kindness can ripple farther than we imagine."
The saying "Everyone should help a Big White Rabbit at least once in their life" isn't really about rabbits. It's a metaphor for compassion — a reminder that we all encounter moments when someone or something small, gentle, and vulnerable crosses our path, asking for help.
The "Big White Rabbit" could be a stray animal, a struggling friend, or even a stranger lost in life's noise. Helping them doesn't always mean grand acts; sometimes it's just stopping to listen, offering a smile, or lending a hand when it's least expected.
Life moves fast, and empathy often fades beneath busyness. But when we choose to help — even once — we rediscover our shared humanity. And who knows? Maybe one day, we'll be someone else's "Big White Rabbit," thankful that kindness still exists in the world.
So, if you get the chance — help the Big White Rabbit. You're not just helping them; you're helping the world become a little brighter.
Don't Reject the Red-Eyed Rabbit
In every story, there's a moment when the gentle and misunderstood face a choice — to hide, or to be seen despite the fear of judgment. The red-eyed rabbit, though small and strange in appearance, embodies this quiet courage. Its crimson eyes reflect the dawn of individuality and the quiet defiance of those who dare to be different.
Many people shy away from what feels unfamiliar. The red-eyed rabbit, however, reminds us that beauty does not always fit into the patterns we expect. Its eyes, once feared, can become a symbol of awakening — of seeing beyond what is easy and embracing what is true.
Acceptance begins where fear ends.
To not reject the red-eyed rabbit is to learn kindness in its purest form. It asks nothing from us except understanding, and in return, it teaches us compassion. When we learn to see through the crimson gaze without flinching, we open our hearts to the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary.
So next time something or someone seems too strange, too different, or too bold — pause for a moment. Remember the red-eyed rabbit. Behind those eyes may lie a story you were meant to hear.
Rabbits Actually Don't Smell and Love Staying Clean
Many people assume that rabbits are smelly animals, but this is a common misunderstanding. In reality, rabbits are among the cleanest pets you can have. They groom themselves frequently, much like cats, keeping their fur neat and free of dirt.
When provided with proper care—a clean litter box, regular brushing, and a healthy diet—rabbits produce almost no noticeable odor. Most of the smell people associate with small animals comes from unclean cages or improper maintenance, not from the rabbits themselves.
Note: A happy rabbit is a clean rabbit! Give them a tidy space, and they'll keep themselves spotless.
So, the next time someone says rabbits are stinky, you can gently correct them: rabbits actually don't smell at all—they love to stay clean and cozy in their environment.
Training Rabbits for Free Roaming
Rabbits can be trained to roam freely just like other companion animals. With patience and proper training, your rabbit can enjoy freedom around the home while still being safe and well-behaved.
Understanding Rabbit Behavior
Rabbits are intelligent and social creatures. They can recognize routines, respond to their names, and even learn simple commands. Before allowing them to roam freely, it's important to understand their natural instincts, such as digging, chewing, and exploring new spaces.
Steps for Safe Free-Roaming Training
- Create a safe environment: Block off areas with electrical cords, toxic plants, or fragile items.
- Litter training: Many rabbits can learn to use a litter box, similar to cats.
- Positive reinforcement: Reward good behavior with healthy treats and gentle praise.
- Supervised exploration: Allow free roaming in stages, starting from a single room and gradually expanding their space.
Benefits of Free-Roaming Rabbits
Free-roaming helps rabbits stay active, mentally stimulated, and socially engaged. It improves their well-being and strengthens the bond between you and your pet.
With love, consistency, and careful supervision, rabbits can live happily as free-roaming pets within your home—just like dogs or cats.
Bunnies Can Interact Too
Many people think of rabbits as quiet, shy animals that prefer to keep to themselves. But in truth, bunnies can be wonderfully interactive creatures. With patience and care, they learn to recognize voices, respond to affection, and even show excitement when you come near.
Interacting with a rabbit is about trust. They may not wag their tails or bark, but they communicate in gentle ways — a soft nudge, a hop around your feet, or the way they settle beside you when they feel safe. These small gestures reveal deep emotional bonds.
By spending time, offering treats, and speaking softly, you can develop a strong, affectionate connection. After all, bunnies can interact too — they just do it in their own quiet, adorable way.
Care for Animals, Do Not Abandon Them
Animals are our companions and an important part of the natural world. They trust us, depend on us for shelter, food, and love. When we choose to adopt an animal, we take on the responsibility of giving it a home for life.
Unfortunately, many pets are abandoned every year when their owners can no longer care for them. This not only puts animals in danger but also burdens communities and rescues struggling to provide safe havens.
Showing care means thinking carefully before adopting, ensuring you have the time, resources, and patience to meet an animal's needs. It means spaying and neutering pets to prevent overpopulation and supporting local shelters when possible.
Every small act of kindness—feeding a stray, donating supplies, or simply spreading awareness—helps protect animals and build a culture of compassion.
Care for animals. Don't abandon them. Kindness begins with responsibility.
Please Adopt Instead of Buying
Every year, countless animals wait in shelters hoping for a second chance. While some dream of a warm home, others sadly never make it out. The simple choice to adopt rather than buy can change that story for many lives.
When you adopt, you do more than save one animal—you open space for another to be rescued. Shelter pets often come with vaccinations, microchips, and a clean bill of health, making adoption both compassionate and practical.
Buying animals from pet shops or breeders may seem tempting, but it often fuels overbreeding and neglect. By choosing adoption, you stand against those harmful practices and help promote a kinder, more sustainable way of caring for animals.
"A home can change a life—sometimes, it can even save one."
So next time you plan to welcome a furry friend, remember: adopting doesn't just fill your home—it fills your heart. Please adopt instead of buying.
About Red-Eyed White Rabbits
The red-eyed New Zealand White rabbit has long been a frequent resident in rabbit shelters. However, at adoption events, these rabbits are often passed over—people may find them "too big" or think their red eyes look "scary." As a result, their chances of being adopted are easily taken away by their long-haired, floppy-eared, or petite neighbors.
In truth, New Zealand White rabbits are intelligent, affectionate, lively, and wonderfully curious—traits that make them excellent companion animals. Sadly, they are also one of the most common breeds used in laboratory research. According to the annual reports on laboratory animals, research institutions in Taiwan use more than 16,000 New Zealand White rabbits each year, not including unreported data.
Over 80% of experimental rabbits are euthanized during or after testing. These rabbits sacrifice their lives to advance human science and medicine—yet in return, they face neglect and rejection. This is simply unfair.
Let's give these gentle lives the dignity and love they truly deserve.
The Silent Guardian: A Red-Eyed White Rabbit
Do you know that the red-eyed white rabbit silently guards us? Though small and gentle, it watches from the shadows, protecting us with silent devotion. Its presence reminds us that true guardians don't always roar or shine loudly—they often act quietly, with pure intent.
In our busy lives, such quiet care often goes unnoticed. Yet if we pause for a moment, we'll realize that we are constantly being supported—by people, by nature, and sometimes by symbols like this rabbit, whose calm gaze represents love and steadiness.
Let us therefore hold gratitude in our hearts and express it through action. To live with appreciation is to give back—to extend kindness, protect others, and pass on the quiet strength that sustains us all.
