While it's hard to predict how long his coat will grow as he matures (around 9-12 months), his future family may need to brush him frequently to prevent tangles. Initially cautious and skittish, Pocket blossoms with time, emerging from his hiding spot to investigate his surroundings. He's a fan of enrichment toys like jingle balls and stacking cups, and his playful bursts of energy are a delight to behold. Although he enjoys moderate pets, Pocket isn't one to seek out attention. With patience, his shy demeanor fades, and his curiosity usually wins him over. When ready to interact, he may be reserved about petting but loves impressing with hops and nose bumps to get acquainted. Ready to welcome this sweet bunny into your home? Pocket is waiting to hop into your heart! This little boy was born to who we affectionately call "January Mom" and "January Dad" as their first litter of buns. The whole family was dumped at an Orange County shelter with no history provided, and because none of the rabbits were fixed, Mom was pregnant with a second litter before anyone realized. SDHRS received a call for help from the Orange County shelter so now the entire family is with SDHRS staff and fosters to help them find their forever homes. Neuter date: 02/15/2024 Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by a calicivirus that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. It is not contagious to people or other animals. For the first time, the virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. UPDATE: In May 2021, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has confirmed new cases of RHDV in rabbits in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura County. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit.
