Rabbit dying of heat stroke on Ohkunoshima 9/9/23 This was one of the rabbits who suffered from heat stroke and passed away less than 4 hours after she was found. These rabbits will face abnormally hot summer this year, something they never experienced before. Many will most likely to die. If you want to help them, please visit the island and help to provide water for them. If you see a rabbit struggling from heat stroke, place cold towel inside ear and/or over their body. Placing cold drink from vending machine by their bodies helps as well. Thank you for your cooperation and helping save these rabbits.

Zakkuri had deep gash in his side of his left body being injured, Zakkuri hid from other rabbits September, 2022 ​A rabbit, we named Zakkuri, was severely injured (lower part of his body had deep gash). He no longer could eat with other rabbits and was hiding behind unused building. He was already skinny when he was found and I remember going to where he was hiding every few hours to give him food, water & vitamin. Even after we had to leave the island, other volunteers kept watching over him and took care of him. He got to live close to 4 months after devastating injury. At the end, he developed abscess around his butt area and went missing one day. If this were today, I bet we could take him to a vet for treatment. Zakkuri, you will always be remembered.
