My story

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

Basil, Dill, and Cilantro are besties! They are a bonded trio of our Spice Girls group. 



They were rescued from a hoarder last year as babies and are now happily indoors, spayed and with space to play. 



These girls are all very sweet!! They are mix of Dutch and Lionhead. Basil looks like a wild cottontail but she is a little doll. Dill is all black and has become so floofed out and has had an amazing glow up! She is starting to get more friendly which we are glad to see!  Cilantro is the cutest little black and white poof.  They do everything together and love to snuggle. 



They are so much fun and so adorable.



These girls were rescued from a backyard breeder who had them cramped in a small hutch. They were at a rescuer's property along with the boys but buns were getting attacked and killed by predators so the rescuer asked for help. We took in the 10 girls last October and they are all spayed and healthy now. 



They love to come for treats and get into shenanigans. But they also flop out and relax. They prefer to come to you and will hop into your lap if you have treats. 



They've gotten a little hesitant with all of the other bunny smells at the Bunny House but we think that once they are in a home that they will get more comfortable being pet. But they are still very interactive and will boop you on the nose!



They would be a good fit for respectful older kids and up in a laid back household. 



They must be indoors. Message to meet them!!

----------



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.

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.
