Tiki

It's Tiki time! He's a sweet, friendly rabbit who would love to make your acquaintance. Tiki is a rare bunny who likes being held and cuddled up close with you. Tiki's been with a foster family who reports that he doesn't need much time to come out of his shell, he's very gentle with kids and would do best with slow introductions when it comes to other pets in the home. He can be shy and mellow, but overall he's a happy and playful bunny who loves to play in blankets, and forage for pellets in his toys! His foster family mentions he is very active during play time and runs around anyone who he thinks has food for him. Tiki is currently in a foster home, and here's what they have to say about him: "Tiki has been a huge joy to have hopping around our apartment. He's very curious in the mornings and evening but enjoys mid-day naps. He's social at dinner parties and seems to enjoy company, nudging them with his nose for pets when he feels the need for them. Bananas are his love language!" As part of our Golden Ears program, we'll provide Tiki's adopter with some of the initial supplies needed to get set up, including an x-pen, litter box, and carrier. Golden Ears adopters also receive complementary veterinary care for routine matters at HRS from our staff veterinarian. Additionally, they receive free annual RHDV2 vaccination, free lab work, free medications, and a 15% discount at the HRS Hop Shop. Tiki is positive for E. cuniculi, which is common in rabbits. It's thought that 60% of all rabbits carry this infection and despite it, live good, full lives with little to no intervention. At this time Tiki has completed the treatment for it, though he may need treatment again in the future. This means Tiki is a little wobbly on his feet but he still gets around just fine. He just needs a low-entry litter box and he's also on a daily pain medication that he loves taking. If you've never given a rabbit medication before, we're happy to show you how! Tiki is also a rabbit who will eagerly take the medication which makes it easy. Tiki is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). We recommend Tiki be brought to HRS every few months for a routine exam to make sure he's staying happy and healthy. Interested in providing the special care this special bunny needs?
