Honey is a busy bee! Do you have a puzzle? An obstacle course? Honey wants to figure it out! She's a SUPER SOFT, smart girl who loves to be occupied. She enjoys her forage mat and conquering the height of the couch. She would love to have more company to play games.
Honey was rescued in Vero. She has a little bit of Lionhead mane. She's likely a mix. She was suspected to be let go by someone who release a few bunnies. Being a friendly girl, she was pretty easy to catch, hanging out under a boat. Honey was a little unsure of her new surroundings at first, but she has gained her confidence and is doing great with her foster's dog and cat. Honey sits down for pets when she's in her pen. When she's free roam, she doesn't want to be interrupted in her important exploring activities, lol.
We think she's just under a year old. She's scheduled for her spay on 2/18. Once she's healed, she'll be ready to find her forever home. We think Honey would love to have a bunny friend to keep her occupied with attention. Honey would be a nice bunny for a family with older, calm kids or teens and up. She's a little shy in new situations and might be stressed with little kids. But she gets comfortable with a little time, once her environment is just how she likes it.

-----------------------
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.
