Momiji (Bonded to Minx)

MOMIJI AND MINX ARE A BONDED PAIR AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER! Momiji is a black and white boy who is one year old. (We currently have two buns named Momiji at FoR!) His bondmade is a one year old harlequin girl named Minx. Momiji can be a little nervous when he first meets you, but once he warms up, he is very friendly and wants to know what you’re doing and how he can be involved! Great litter box habits and loves gentle pets, and even doesn’t mind being picked up. He would be great for a family with kids who understand they must speak quietly until they gain his trust Momiji loves chewing cardboard! Any kind of packing paper or cardboard box doesn’t stand a chance against him. He is the king of home renovations and DIY projects involving cardboard! He’s also a great hay eater who loves banana, but will eat and get excited for anything out of a crinkly bag. If you are interested in adopting Momiji and Minx, please fill out the application at friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform and someone will call or email you to schedule an interview. Their adoption fee is $200 (for both) plus a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit. Momiji and Minx are in a foster home in Marriottsville, MD. INDOOR HOMES ONLY! ABOUT FRIENDS OF RABBITS Friends of Rabbits is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue operating in the greater DC-metro area. We take rabbits at risk of euthanasia from shelters in Maryland, DC and Virginia. We also rescue abandoned and neglected rabbits and assist with large confiscation cases. We provide foster homes and veterinary care for our rabbits, have them spayed/neutered and find them new forever homes through our adoption programs. Please note: We are not licensed to handle wildlife. Come Meet Our Pets... We have adoption events multiple times a month. Events take place at headquarters located in Columbia, MD and once a month in Fairfax, VA. We also have regularly scheduled events in local pet stores throughout the metropolitan region. Our Adoption Process... Prior to adoption, we ask that people fill out an application: www.friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform 1. The adopter must be a responsible adult, which is at least 18 years old. If a family adopts the rabbit, the primary caregiver must be an adult or a responsible older teen. Younger children may do the work necessary to care for the rabbit under the daily supervision of an adult. All adults in the family must agree on adopting the rabbit. 2. We do not adopt our rabbits out as classroom pets. Exceptions would be adoption to the teacher who may bring the rabbit into the classroom on a regular basis. 3. Rabbits are social animals. The adopted rabbit(s) must live indoors in an appropriate size space where they will receive daily interaction with the family. The best possible space would be freedom in a rabbit proofed room. If that is not possible, a dog exercise pen with rabbit safe flooring works well. Other options include a large dog crate or a roomy cage. The best cages are at least 42 to 48 inches long by 24 inches wide. The 24 inch width allows for use of the widest and deepest jumbo litter boxes, which work well for most rabbits. A custom space can also be constructed using shelving material. Caged rabbits need daily exercise time outside the cage. 4. If you are renting your home, please have written consent from your landlord before you adopt. 5. For new adopters, we conduct an interview to make sure that the rabbit will be going to a safe environment. 6. When they are ill, rabbits require a veterinarian that specializes in exotic animals. Be aware that exotic veterinarians can be considerably more expensive than one for your cat or dog. Plan vet visits into your budget accordingly. 7. If you are looking to adopt a companion for your existing rabbit, your rabbit must be spayed or neutered prior to any introductions. 8. The final step to the adoption process is filling out a contract, which is specific to Friends of Rabbits. The cost to adopt a rabbit from us is $150 for a single rabbit and $200 for a pair. The adoption fees include a goodie bag with rabbit care information, necessities, toys and a coupon for discounted rabbit supplies, and cover the cost of the rabbit's spay/neuter. As of January 1, 2022, there is also a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit.
