Dinksy - Lionhead and Harlequin Rabbit for Adoption in Melbourne, Florida

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

Dinksy was rescued in Palm Bay in May 2026 by a good Samaritan. He was found outdoors and had been outside for a long time.

He is a very outgoing and friendly rabbit! He would do well as an independent rabbit with someone who works from home or bonded to another rabbit. He likes lying out in the living room with us and being a part of the family.

Dinksy likes being pet but isn't super affectionate. He's pretty independent and not really scared of much. He uses his litter box for all but a few poops, but they should improve now that he is neutered. He's smart and likes to toss his toys. He's energetic and loves binkying and doing bunny runs!

Dinksy is neutered and would be a great candidate for bonding!

Currently located in Cocoa.

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.
