My story

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

Oliver is a velvety soft Rex who recently came to us from the shelter. He is about 4 months old and is looking for a loving indoor-only homes to hop around in and fill with sunshine  



 



He is very very friendly, loves attention and will bounce up to you when you walk into his play room. His coat feels just like velvet and he loves pets. Oliver is very curious and loves to explore. 



 



They are being fostered by our wonderful new local partner Big Love, Community Animal Outreach  



 



Oliver and his sister came to us from the shelter. They were probably an impulse purchase from a pet store by someone who wasn't prepared to clean up after young bunnies. (Litterbox habits improve once they are fixed.) They have been parasite tested and will be spayed and neutered when they are old enough in January. The adoption fee will cover it. 



 



See our short adoption application here: bit.ly/Scbadopterapp



 



They are being housed in Melbourne Beach.



Message us to meet him!



 



The adoption fee will cover her spay. 



Baby bunnies are messy and go through a hormonal phase at 4 months where they can become more destructive and may become bitey or difficult, so potential adopters need to understand that. Baby bunnies are also extremely fragile and can easily get hurt, so we don't recommend them for kids or homes with large dogs.

And message us to meet her!



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



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.
