Rosie would make a great addition to any family! She was born around February of 2023 and was one of a dozen rabbits rescued in Palm Bay in November. Rosie is a mixed Dutch and weighs about 6 pounds. She has little white paws, a white nose, and dalmatian-spotted ears. Her litter box habits are very tidy and she is the opposite of a picky eater. Rosie has a very sweet and friendly personality. She adores to be petted and have cuddle sessions! Rosie has lived with a dog and cat, as well as other rabbits, and would also be a great candidate for bunny bonding. Rosie is also vaccinated for RHDV-2. Message us to set up a meeting!
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.
