Buttercup

Buttercup is fun Mini Lop who was born in May of 2022. She was originally surrendered to us in June last year, but was adopted back in December of last year. However, she was recently surrendered to us again because the bonding process did not work out with that family at no fault of anyone's. With so many of the rabbits, it's simply a matter of finding the right bunny match for each bun. Her previous owner told us that Buttercup can be very shy at first, but that it is very clear that she wants to make a connection with the people around her. She just needs a little bit of time and patience until she's certain that she can trust you, but once she comes to that conclusion, she is the sweetest thing. She loves to give kisses while she's being pet, and has even been known to cuddle up with her humans! We were also told that she seems to really have the potential to be a great free roaming bunny. She loves to be nosy and explore every inch of space she can get to until she finds the perfect nook for a nap. INDOOR HOMES ONLY Come Meet Our Bunnies... Adoption appointments are available 7 days a week by appointment only. Adopting from Bunny Lu... We ask those interested in adopting from Bunny Lu to fill out the adoption form found at www.bunnylu.org/adoptions. Once approved, adoption appointments can be scheduled by texting or calling Mary Ellen at 703-753-0833 or emailing [email protected]. Please be sure to provide your name, address, and telephone number. 1. Bunny Lu will only adopt rabbits to responsible adults 18 years or older. If the rabbit is intended to be a pet for the entire family, all adults in the family must be on board with the adoption. These rules are in place for the wellbeing of the rabbits, which is our primary concern. 2. The bunnies must be kept indoors with a minimum of 4 feet by 6 feet of bunny-proofed space. This space needs to be in a location where the rabbits will receive daily interaction with their family. Rabbits are very social animals, so these daily interactions are extremely important. 3. Rabbits adopted from Bunny Lu must be picked up at the rescue in Waynesboro, VA. We will not ship any animal. 4. All bunnies adopted from Bunny Lu are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHVD 2. The microchips are registered to Bunny Lu so that the rabbits can be returned here in the event anything should happen to their adoptive family or their home. 5. First-time or inexperienced prospective rabbit parents are required to read “A House Rabbit Primer” by Lucile C. Moore, which is available for $15 at Bunny Lu or on Amazon. We feel this is the best book available to explain what living with rabbits is really like so that you can make an educated decision if a rabbit is the right pet for you. 6. First time bunny parents should be looking at adult rabbits, preferably rabbits over 2 years of age. Baby bunnies or any under 1 year of age will not be adopted to first time bunny parents. 7. The adoption fee is $250.00 for each bunny. This includes the cost of the spay/neuter, microchipping, and vaccination. Please ask about adoption fees for pairs. 8. If you are looking for a companion for your bunny, they must be spayed/neutered in advance. We encourage you to bring your rabbit to the adoption appointment so that they can have a trial run at the bonding experience. Please keep in mind that it may be necessary to introduce your bunny to several different bunnies before the right match is found. In our experience, we have found that the most successful pairing is between a neutered male and a spayed female. While same sex buns can get along, it is unusual.   About Bunny Lu...
