Twinkle - Lionhead Rabbit for Adoption in Melbourne, Florida

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

Twinkle, (aka Mrs. Twinkle Puff) was found on July 4th, scared under a car as fireworks were coming down!

It turned out that she had gotten out the door as someone was packing for a trip. They agreed to let us find her a home because she had been left behind by a roommate.

Twinkle is the friendliest girl! She stands up for attention in her pen like a puppy! We were told that she's used to being free roam and that she's about a year and a half old.

Twinkle would be a great candidate for bonding once she is spayed. She likes to have lots of interaction and toys to keep her busy. She's a super sweet girl!

She's a double main lionhead and needs regular grooming. When we picked her up she had to massive mats on her back end that had to be cut off. She will need someone who is comfortable with making sure she's not becoming matted.

Twinkle is a great name for her because she has a sparkling personality! Do you want to spoil this little princess for life?

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.
