Looking for a very special foster or adopter for our friendly little E.C. positive Peanut Butter!
Peanut Butter was spotted running around an apartment complex in Viera. He was easily scooped up by one of our volunteers, so he obviously trusted people. He had been spotted for at least a week, and it's likely someone just left him behind.
He does have a cloudy spot in the corner of his eye, so he was tested for E.C., and the results came back positive. He has no other symptoms of E.C., but is on a course of Panacur to try and bring his titer down. We're also waiting to neuter him until his E.C. titer is lower to prevent complications.
Peanut Butter settled right into his foster home and is very friendly with the children in the home! There is another foster rabbit in the house, so we are looking to find a new foster or adopter for Peanut Butter to prevent accidental spread of the E.C. to the other rabbit.
He's a great family bunny to have as a single. Once he is neutered, he would also be a good candidate for bonding to another E.C. positive bun.
Peanut Butter is currently located in Viera.
-----------------
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.
