Meet Polaris, the spirited little bunny from the adorable litter of Mulan and Poncho, born in January 2024. Polaris can be quite skittish at times, so she will thrive in a home that offers patience and understanding. She very expressive, clearly communicating when she's not in the mood for interaction or petting. Despite her initial hesitance, Polaris gradually warms up to her surroundings and even enjoys doing playful binkies! Polaris prefers to engage on her own terms and is food-motivated, often waiting patiently by her pen door for meals.
Polaris is naturally curious, especially when no one is watching. Alongside her siblings, she dislikes being picked up and will squirm away, but she's actively working on building trust. While she may not seek attention, Polaris appreciates the occasional pet and prefers to relax in cozy corners until she is comfortable. Polaris fearlessly explores hard and slippery floors when she's in an active mood, showcasing her ongoing efforts to socialize and adapt. She can be quite the escape artist, so dilligent bunny-proofing is a must!

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.
