INDOOR ONLY HOMES

Rupert was rescued in April 2026 from living a neglected life in a small, dirty cage in a back yard in the Inland Empire.

His fur was matted upon intake so we shaved him down to give him some relief. He is likely a fuzzy lop and will require diligent grooming to keep him free if matted fur. He was a good sport about it.

He is so docile and appreciative of being rescued and now being housed properly. He heartily eats hay and keeps a tidy enclosure. He is an endearing little bun and a volunteer favorite.

Rupert was neutered on May 4, 2026. He has an estimated DOB of May 2025.

Rupert should be housed in an exercise pen or free roam. A cage/hutch is not recommended unless the door is always open and an exercise pen placed around it. (Nylon, pop-up playpens are not recommended as a rabbit will chew right through it!)

Please be over 21 if inquiring about Rupert.

Rabbits are a 10+ year commitment.

Rupert can be seen by appointment in Lake Elsinore after a questionnaire is completed or a phone consultation conducted. On adoption day, plan to spend approximately one hour at the rescue going over paperwork and general rabbit care information. 

PLEASE consult with the rescue before you purchase rabbit supplies so you can be directed to the least expensive and most appropriate rabbit essentials, especially if you’ve never had the pleasure of owning a rabbit! Your local big chain pet store is probably NOT the best place to buy rabbit supplies!

If you have a spayed/neutered single bun searching for a friend, there are plenty of rescue rabbits here available for my signature rapid romance bunny bonding. Male/female bondings are usually recommended. See the following link for more information: https://rabbit.org/care/bonding
