Lop Eared and Silver Marten Rabbits Available for Adoption

Winston, aka Sir Winston Flops A Lot has been so happy to become a house bunny! Look at this goofy boy!

He was scared the first day but is really thriving after living outside. Winston and Juno were rescued almost a month ago after being reported late an night hopping down a street in the dark. We didn't know it at the time but this is where we ending up rescuing 21 total recently.

Not only is he the softest bun, he loves to hop on foster Jessica when she's on the floor. He gives kisses and loves attention. Is half lop status suits his silly personality perfectly.

Winston is such a good boy and is quite the snuggle bun. We think he's about a year or two old. He's doing great with his litterbox and is scheduled for his neuter on the 18th.

Winston is being fostered in Altamonte Springs (Orlando). He will be a great candidate for bonding once he is recovered from his neuter. He is such a friendly boy and would love a family!

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.
