Sid - Californian Rabbit for Adoption in Melbourne, Florida

Interested in adopting? Please apply here: bit.ly/Scbadopterapp

Sid was rescued from a backyard hutch. His owner had saved him from a meat breeder but didn't know how to properly care for him. Now he's safe indoors and living the house bunny life!

He is always a happy boy and excited about pretty much everything. He is absolutely not destructive and he is very good with his litter box. Sid is neutered as well.

Sid has the best flops and huge binkies! He loves free-roam time and will let you know he's ready to be out and run around. Sid loves hay so much he can't get enough.

He seems very submissive and we think he would be very easy to bond. He is very interested in the other bunnies in his foster home and is friendly when they are out and he is in his pen.

Sid is friendly with the dog too and is not the least bit bothered with loud noises. He doesn't startle easily so he would be good with an active home. He is just a sweet loving funny silly boy he has been an absolute delight!

Currently located in Palm Bay.

About bunnies:
First time rabbit adopter? We can send you information about housing and care. You should also know:

- Bonding bunnies - both buns must be fixed or there will be territory issues and aggression. Read more on the House Rabbit Society website. Or contact us about low cost spay/neuter.

- Bunnies are NOT starter pets. They need (indoor) space and attention like a small dog would. They need hay, pellets and greens daily. And any health issues (not eating, etc.) require immediate attention.

- Bunnies are NOT a good fit for young kids. They are fragile, startle easily, usually don't like to be handled, and do not do well under stress like the general household noise that comes with little ones. Trust us, it's a lot of work you don't want to take on if you're caring for small kids. If your little one absolutely wants to meet a bunny, we can set up a visit with one of our more mellow bunnies and there's no commitment involved :)

- Bunnies can be somewhat skittish but they are also fun. If patient and understand that bunnies get comfortable with people on their own terms, you'll make a bunny friend. Spending time on the floor with them and offering treats is a great way to bond with them.

- Bunnies MUST be housed indoors. RHDV-2, a highly contagious and fatal wild rabbit disease in now in Florida and transmitted in the ground. Domestic rabbits cannot tolerate the heat. They also need to be safe from predators and parasites like ear mites. They will be much happier being a part of the family, inside.

The Californian rabbit breed is known for their distinctive color pattern with a white body and dark points on the nose, ears, feet, and tail. They are medium sized rabbits with a gentle and friendly temperament, making them popular as pets and show animals. Originally developed in California in the 1920s, Californians are prized for their meat production and fur quality, making them a versatile breed for both commercial and domestic purposes.
