Clare is our miracle bun! She was found in a neighborhood in March, unable to use her back legs. We suspect she was hit by a car. We rushed her to the vet who found nothing broken thankfully. But she had no feeling below her knees. The vet advised us that she would need round the clock care and discussed considering her quality of life. With the help of anti-inflammatory medicine, she miraculously started to regain her mobility. We also took her for a laser treatment to help with her recovery. Clare is now fully back to normal!!
She's been receiving wonderful care in her foster home where she's enjoying the comfy life of an indoor bun. She had been born outside as part of a colony of bunnies in a neighborhood. Clare is such a sweet girl and runs up for lettuce. She's also great with her litterbox. She will be fixed soon and is a great candidate for bonding. Clare can't wait to be spoiled in a furever home. She's currently fostered in Melbourne. Message us to meet her!

About bunnies:
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.
