My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dill and Pickles are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Dill and Pickles. Pickles and Dill. We wouldn't dream of having one without the other! These sweet brothers are a bundle of "binky" joy. In a home with space to roam, these rabbits will walk, flop, and zoom together. Always sweet and never spicy, this pickle pair will melt your heart.

Dill and Pickles were recently in a foster home, and their foster family had great news to share! Dill and Pickles are very shy by nature, but they have some encouraging signs of wanting to be friendly with people! They come up to me and boop me with their noses and will fall into a deep sleep next to me, which is very cute. Dill is hoping for an adopter who will stay very still for him and give him lots of treats! Pickles is much smarter and will take a little more time to warm up to you since he isn't as easily tricked. That said, he was a very brave explorer in his first few days and loves finding new cozy corners to nap in. He has very unique double-helicopter ears that always express what he's thinking and feeling.

They both sit extremely well for grooming and their litter box habits are great after some initial marking. They might tolerate a cat friend but probably won't like dogs or children. They still don't let me pet them but are happy to relax around me as long as I don't bother them. They will need a patient adopter who doesn't mind waiting a few months to build their trust before petting them.

They get super excited for food and treats and have started doing nightly zoomies and binkies! Pickles especially loves to binky for minutes on end, expressing how safe he feels. He has recently started exploring more and enjoys chewing on toilet paper rolls. The boys also love rearranging their toys and boxes exactly how they like them - although sometimes this means plopping things in their water bowl!

Although they look very much alike, their personalities are very distinct from each other and the family who adopts them will be able to tell them apart in no time!

Dill and Pickles are neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.
