Ollie - Dutch Rabbit for Adoption in Columbia, Missouri

I'm looking for a loving forever home for my sweet bunny. She is a friendly, affectionate girl who loves to roam freely, explore, and forage for treats. She enjoys being petted and absolutely loves cuddles-especially from the people who feed and care for her! She gets along well with kids and other animals and has a gentle, loving personality. She thrives on attention and enjoys being part of the family. She does not like being locked in a cage for long periods and will often try to escape if she's confined. She would be happiest in a home where she has plenty of safe space to hop around and explore while still getting lots of love and attention. This is a very difficult decision, so I'm looking for someone who will give her the caring, patient, and forever home she truly deserves. Please reach out if you think you can provide the loving home she's looking for.

Important Information Before Adopting or Purchasing a Rabbit

Rabbits are long-lived companions, with an average lifespan of 8 to 12 years when properly cared for. They are not a cheap or easy pet for most households, and it's important to understand their needs before bringing one home.

Diet & Nutrition: Rabbits eat a lot! They require daily pellets, a constant supply of hay, and fresh produce. Proper diet is critical for their health and digestion.

Exercise & Environment: Rabbits need daily exercise outside of their enclosure in a bunny-proofed area - think similar to puppy-proofing a room. They will not be happy spending most of their time alone in a cage. Owners must spend time petting, handling, and bonding with their rabbit.

Spay/Neuter Benefits: Helps with bonding, prevents accidental litters, reduces health risks such as ovarian or testicular cancer. Supports litter box training and can reduce unwanted behaviors like biting or thumping.

Personality & Enrichment: Every rabbit has a unique personality, but all rabbits need enrichment to stay healthy and happy. Provide bunny-safe chew toys, tunnels, boxes, and other interactive items to help manage their constantly growing teeth and keep them mentally stimulated.

Veterinary Care: Rabbits should have yearly veterinary checkups, just like dogs and cats. If they have access to the outdoors, they should be on monthly flea/tick preventative.

Rabbits can be amazing, long-lived companions when cared for properly, but they are not right for everyone. They require thoughtful, committed care and should never be adopted impulsively.
