Lionhead and Dutch Rabbits Available for Adoption

Thyme and Chives are two of our Spice Girls! Thyme is a fluffy lionhead and Chives is a beautiful Dutch.

These girls were rescued from a backyard breeder who had them cramped in a small hutch. They were at a rescuer's property along with the boys but buns were getting attacked and killed by predators so the rescuer asked for help.

Thyme and Chives are back on the market as they didn't bond with their adopter's bun.

Thyme is still pretty skittish but can be coerced with treats, Chives is full of attitude and willing to do anything to get your attention. She likes when you hang out at floor level so she can either sit in your lap or right at your feet. Both girls go crazy for parsley and love it when you sing to them!

They would be a good fit for respectful older kids and up in a calm household. Get along with cats. They must be indoors.

----------

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.

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.
