Storm and Marshmallow Fluff are ready to hop into your heart!
These girls were born in the rescue shortly after we took in their mom and older siblings. They were born on March 6th. Their brother and sisters are also still available for adoption. We aim to keep siblings paired up because bunnies are less stressed and happier with a friend. The added benefit is that you don't have to worry about your bunny being lonely during the day and you can avoid the hassle of trying to bond in the future.
These two sisters are always snuggling with each other. They don't mind getting picked up and will stay for kisses and cuddles.
They will be spayed when they are six months old in September.
Please note: Young bunnies are even more fragile so they are not a good fit for kids under 10. Bunnies will also go through a hormonal phase at 4-6 months of age and may be more messy with their litterbox habits, may squabble, and can have destructive behaviors. This is the reason SO many bunnies get rehomed or dumped outside. If you're a first time bunny person, a bunny who is already fixed may be better for you. The adoption fee will cover the spay/neuter at 6 months old.
But if you are prepared and know what to expect, they are such a joy! The babies are currently fostered in Palm Bay. Ready to meet these adorable kiddos?
-----------------------
The adoption fee helps to offset the spay/neuter cost. It's important to do to prevent cancer and improve litterbox habits. Our vets provide a very discounted rate so this is a great deal! Our buns also receive a wellness check and parasite test.

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.
