My story

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

Meet Inky! We just rescued him as part of a group of five bunnies who was dumped outside by a resident. He was soaked and heavily matted with dirt and fleas but he is so glad to be clean and dry and safe indoors with a great foster now! Inky is getting adjusted to the house bunny life and is still a little unsure about people but not too fearful. He just needs a little bit of time to adjust. 



Inky is somewhat small and looks to have a little bit of Lionhead genes like his family.  Just enough to give him a little bit of spiky hair that gives his look some personality, lol. He's starting to get the hang of his litter box and his habits will improve even more once he is neutered. The neuter is covered by the adoption fee. 



Since Inky was with other buns we think he would enjoy having a bunny friend again if you have a bunny to bond. He's ready to be a spoiled bun! Message to meet him!



 Message us to meet him!



-----------------



The adoption fee helps to offset the spay/neuter cost. It's important to do to prevent cancer and improve litterbox habits. Our vets provide a very discounted rate so this is a great deal! Our buns also receive a wellness check and parasite test.

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.

Interview

Inquire about a pet through the site and we'll set up a call to learn about you and schedule a time for you to meet a bunny.

We require a brief video "home visit" to see your setup and confirm you're ready to bring a bunny home! We can also do this as a first step.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter. Get in touch to set up a meeting to see our bunnies!

More about this rescue

Our rescue started in 2019 when an out of control breeding situation required help. We helped a homeowner get 100+ bunnies fixed and into homes. The need is so great in our county that we kept rescuing.

We adopt to indoor homes because:
- your bunny should be a part of your family! They will be happy, safe.
- Florida temperatures are too extreme for domestic rabbits.
- a hutch is not enough! Buns need space for exercise, social interaction, protection from the elements, mites, fleas, predators, and diseases.
