The shelter describes me as a “tulip” which means that I have been observed engaging in the widest range of behaviors from everything to bulging eyes, cowering, chinning, grooming, boxing, lunging, exploring, fighting, thumping, flagging their tails, startling, hiding, playing with toys, and binkying. Tulip’s rarely flop in shelters as they are not usually laid back. In homes tulips are often entertaining rabbits, always on high alert, very active, interactive, and exhibiting the same wide range of behaviors they do in a shelter environment. Some may not do well with children or other rabbits. Caution should be observed in adopting Tulips to homes with many other rabbits or children.

More about this rescue

Founder of rescue is employed at animal shelter and rescues rabbits from being adopted by people looking to exploit them as food, breeding, being fed to reptiles, and used for training hunting dogs. All rabbits are placed into temporary foster homes and spayed and neutered prior to adoption. Once they are spayed and neutered they are transported from foster homes to adoption fairs at PetCo on 324 S College Road, Wilmington NC and are publicly shown until they find forever homes. These rabbits are given a second chance to a new family. Please don't buy from a breeder. Adopt a rescued rabbit! We also rescue Chinchilla's too.
