Mabel

Meet Mabel! Mabel was surrendered to us because her previous owners could not adequately meet her needs. Mabel is a lop bunny who had fur that needs to be properly groomed in order to avoid painful matting. Unfortunately, her previous owners were not able to keep her appropriately groomed, so Mabel had to be given an extremely long-overdue haircut when she first arrived. We were not aware of how bad the fur matting was on Mabel until we actually got her into the rescue, but it was so apparent that she was extremely uncomfortable because of how extreme the matting on her fur was. We were actually told that Mabel had to be sedated at the vet previously in order to have her fur trimmed, but we did not have to do that here. In fact, she seemed extremely grateful that we were getting her fur cut down to a point where she could finally be comfortable. Mabel will need an experienced bunny owner who can be patient with her as she adjusts to her new environment and can maintain the proper grooming schedule that she needs. 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...
