My story

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

Bucky is a playful boy ready for someone to give him lots of attention! He came into the rescue in February after a family reached out for help after having two accidental litters for a total of 14 buns! Bucky (formerly Caramel) is about 1.5 - 2 years old. He's a lovely boy with adorable pink ears!



He and his wifey Bailey were purchased from another family who was selling bunnies as a hobby for their kids. Bucky is the dad and was separated from the mom and kids. When we went to meet the buns, he was pacing the porch just wanting to get back with the other buns :( He is now with a foster who is helping him settle in after being housed outside. He's a very sweet boy who just wants some company. 



Bucky isn't skittish. He's quite curious and likes to jump on top of his carrier which he likes as a hidey house also. He prefers to keep all four paws the ground. He loves cilantro. He hasn't met his foster family's dog yet but doesn't seem bothered when he hears a bark. 



Bucky will be neutered 3/13 and would be a great candidate for bonding. Would you like to give this darling boy a fresh start? He's currently located in Rockledge. 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.

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.
