Flemish Giant Rabbits Available for Adoption in Melbourne, Florida

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

Chase and Dash are 2 Flemish mix boys that were rescued from a meat breeder, and they need a new home!

We met these adorable boys at the last grooming event at Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. Their person purchased them for $10 on the side of the road from someone who was selling them for meat when they were 2 months old. She has had them indoors for 4 years, and they are neutered and come with their setup. Sadly, she is having health issues and is no longer able to keep them.

Pictures don't do them justice!! Chase and Dash are so cute and mild-mannered.

Currently located in Stuart, but they can be transported to Brevard.

-----------------------

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.

The Flemish Giant rabbit is a gentle giant of the rabbit world, known for its massive size and sweet temperament. Originating in Belgium, these rabbits can weigh up to 22 pounds and have a distinctive appearance with their large ears and muscular bodies. Despite their imposing size, Flemish Giants are docile, friendly, and make great pets for both experienced and first time rabbit owners. With their calm demeanor and easygoing nature, they are a popular choice for families looking for a lovable and low maintenance rabbit companion.
