My story

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

Peanut and Sparkle are an adorable pair who are looking for a new home! Peanut is a 10 year old neutered boy and bonded Sparkle, a spayed 9 year old girl. 



They came to us a few years ago after a living outside and were adopted by a family who unfortunately is now facing some health issues and asked us to find them and you forever home.



They have always been together and are very friendly and good with older kids.  



Peanut is a lop and is blind in one eye but healthy and very sweet.  Sparkle is an American agouti. 



Peanut is friendlier/cuddlier but he also has more lop attitude. If he doesn’t like something, he’ll stomp his foot. Sparkle is al ittle more shy.



 



As they have gotten older, they seem like maybe they don’t hear as well as they used to. But no major issues. 



They are well behaved for nail trims and brushing. They like the little loop treats in the video and know they get one every morning and when the box is cleaned. 



 



They come when called and love treat time! They currently don't have any issues but as seniors there next adopter should be prepared for potential special needs from arthritis or an occasional butt bath or vet needs. Because of this we are waiving their adoption fee. We just want them to find the best home for their golden years!



They are currently located in Orlando. Message us to meet them!
 



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.

2.

Home Check

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.

Meet the Pet

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee is $100 to cover the cost of the spay/neuter.

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.
