Doodlebug - New Zealand Rabbit Available for Adoption in North Little Rock, Arkansas

Meet Doodlebug!

Doodlebug was found in the Cabot area off the side of the road. Luckily for her, a couple spotted her and knew she wasn’t meant to be there.

Once she came into our possession, it was clear to us that she has been neglected for quite a while in her short life. She is malnourished and has odd hair loss all over her body. We did check for fleas, ticks and mites but do not see any evidence of them. We are preemptively treating for them anyways, though. We suspected the hair loss was stress induced or from malnutrition.

Since she was rescued, her hair has grown back beautifully! She is still growing out the staining, though.

The New Zealand rabbit breed is known for its sturdy build, commercial value, and gentle temperament. With its distinct red, white, black, and blue color varieties, this breed is popular among both beginners and experienced rabbit enthusiasts alike. New Zealands are prized for their efficient meat production, good maternal instincts, and adaptability to various climates, making them a versatile choice for rabbit breeders looking for a hardy and reliable animal.
