My name is Bailey and Bucky's Babies!

Meet Bailey and Bucky's kids! A family reached out to use because they needed help with 14 buns! Bailey and Bucky were purchased from another family who was selling bunnies as a hobby for their kids. The family who bought them didn't know they had a boy and girl, and next thing they knew, they had two litters of buns.

The babies were born a day or two after Christmas. They are playful and doing well with their litterbox considering they are still babies! They will be spayed and neutered when they are six months old in July. We will be checking the genders this week. It is hard to tell when they are young though. 

We aim to keep siblings paired up (sisters together and brothers together) because bunnies are less stressed and happier with a friend. The added benefit is that you don't have to worry about your bunny being lonely during the day and you can avoid the hassle of trying to bond in the future. 

Please note: Young bunnies are even more fragile so they are not a good fit for kids under 10. Bunnies will also go through a hormonal phase at 4-6 months of age and may be more messy with their litterbox habits, may squabble, and can have destructive behaviors. This is the reason SO many bunnies get rehomed or dumped outside. If you're a first time bunny person, a bunny who is already fixed may be better for you.

But if you are prepared and know what to expect, they are such a joy! The babies are currently fostered in Palm Bay. Ready to meet these adorable kiddos?

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

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.
