Princess (& Precious) - Lionhead and Dwarf Rabbit for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Princess and Precious are a sweet bonded pair who are being returned through no fault of their own—someone in their previous home developed an allergy. These two are excellent at sitting around looking cute and enjoy being near their people while exploring the house. They lived comfortably with children ranging from ages 2 to 14, as well as two older rabbits, and did beautifully with the other bunnies after a slow, thoughtful introduction. Princess and Precious were described as calm and relaxed around the kids and overall wonderful companions. They aren’t big fans of being picked up or handled, but they thrive with gentle interactions and a peaceful environment. This lovely duo is ready for a new home where they can continue being their adorable, friendly selves.

These two are a bonded pair who can’t imagine life without each other, so they’ll need to be adopted together. To help make that happen, only one adoption fee applies!
