My Story

Adoption fees for rabbits is $75 for a single or a pair. Cedar is a little shy bun bun with a lot of attitude! He will come up for veggies and binkies away! If you have another rabbit in the home, a slow intro is a must because he will tell you if he doesn't want any buddies! Rabbits are intelligent and complex animals who do well in families with humans who understand that they are prey animals, and do not enjoy being held/picked up. The best way to bond with rabbits is to spend time with them outside of their pens, and shower them with plenty of fresh veg leaves such as romaine and cilantro! Rabbits are easy to litter-box train, and we've begun that at the shelter! Rabbits also need plenty of daily time to explore outside of their pen and hang with their human. Because rabbits need so much space and aren't easy to hold, they aren't an ideal "starter pet". Rabbits usually do best with older children who can respect their boundaries. When rabbits get the space and enrichment they need, they often form deep bonds with their humans in the same way a dog or cat would. Rabbits will let you know when they are happy by giving you a bunny binky (a hop/ twist in the air) or a sideways flop. If it's your dream to have a fluffy little buddy to eat salads with and snuggle (on her level) then a rabbit may be a great pet for you! Rabbits' primary food is fresh timothy hay and fresh leaves and veggies for their daily diet - pellets should be treated as "junk food and given in limited amounts. All this fresh food can run $40-50 each month. Rabbits typically live 8-10 years. Housing requirements: Most housing sold at pet stores is too small for small pets. They are going to be spending most of their lives inside their cage; your housing must be as large as the below or larger (bigger is always better!) in order to adopt this pet. -For rabbits we recommend extra large metal dog crates and/or fencing/x-pens/playpens. Expect to spend at least $100 on housing. -Minimum requirements for enclosed spaces is 10 sq. ft. for 1-2 rabbits. -Rabbits should also have at least 24 sq. ft. of exercise space outside of their enclosure where they can run and play each day. -No wire floors please - they are bad for bunnies' feet -Our rabbits are house pets, not for keeping outside Rabbits are a social species, meaning they usually enjoy the company of their own kind. If there are two names listed together (eg Peanut Butter w/Jelly), that means that the two animals are a bonded pair of friends, and must be adopted together. -Got a single at home you're looking for a friend for? Any animal listed alone on our website is a single and a great candidate; if there is a group of 3 or more, usually one can be taken out of that group as a companion for your single. -A new friend will need a separate cage until friendship has been established -Our rabbits are all spayed/neutered at 4 months of age; as long as one or both rabbits are neutered, mixing genders is okay. -It takes time and patience to let the rabbits make friends with each other.
