My story

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

Pellets: 1/4 cup Selective grain free pellets (AM)
Hay: Unlimited mixed hay - timothy and orchard
Salad: 1 cup spring mix, romaine lettuce, cilantro, parsley (PM)

Meet Poppy, a fluffy little lady with a personality as soft as her fur! She arrived at SDHRS on January 1, 2025, after being transferred from an Orange County shelter. This friendly girl enjoys interaction and will tolerate pets once she’s had time to trust you. While she’s not the cuddliest bunny, she’s always up for some gentle attention on her terms. With her gorgeous long fur, Poppy will need regular brushing to prevent knots and keep her coat looking its best. Luckily, she’s a tidy girl who’s great at using her litterbox, though she has the occasional mushy stool in her pen from time-to-time. A little patience will help her learn to enjoy spa time! Poppy is the perfect mix of independent and affectionate, making her a great companion for someone willing to earn her trust and keep her looking fabulous.

Spayed: Date Unknown

Medical Note: Poppy experienced some mild immune suppression of unknown cause (low RBC/WBC on bloodwork) starting April of 2025. Her symptoms mostly consisted of occasional abnormal stools (parasites were ruled out). Her doctors suspected the immune suppression could have been due to a rare reaction to Revolution, so it should only be used if prescribed for active flea infestation. Now on Selective Grain-Free pellets, which have improved stool quality. Recent bloodwork showed the immune suppression is resolved! Regular bloodwork should be performed to monitor for any reoccurrence.

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. The virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit. Please make sure to vaccinate your rabbits every year. For more information, please visit our website at: https://sandiegorabbits.org/education/rhdv

More about this rescue

We are a volunteer-driven organization working in San Diego County for nearly 25 years. We want to ensure that rabbits are not adopted out unaltered, that they find good homes where they will be cherished as indoor family companions, and that we educate our community on the responsible care of indoor rabbit companions.
