Inside homes only! I want your bunny to be a cherished part of your family. Rabbits living in outside hutches
are subject to weather extremes, and predators. Raccoons are rampant in our area, and can break into almost any hutch, not
to mention literally scaring a rabbit to death. With bunproofing and a litterbox, rabbits can fit into many indoor situations
.You will enjoy your bunny much more as a daily companion. Many of their most interesting behaviors are subtle. The more
time they're out of a cage, the more their personalities come out, and the more endearing they become.
Meet the bunnies: You can meet the bunnies by calling or emailing me and setting up an appointment. We will meet at my
house. Just let me know which ones you’re interested in, and come on over! I don’t have a shelter or public place
where you can see them anytime, so an appointment is necessary.
If you want to adopt, we will arrange another time to pick up your new friend. This will give you time to gather
information, get prepared, and think over your commitment.
Spaying and Neutering: All adult rabbits will be spayed or neutered before I let them go to new homes. All youngsters
will be adopted with a spay/neuter deposit. Uncontrolled breeding is what got them into this situation, so I am trying
to make sure this never happens again to them.
Adoption Fees/ Deposits: Adults will have a fee of $50.00. This is for three reasons. It discourages people who are
looking for free snake food; it tells me that you are willing to invest in your pet’s quality of life; and it helps
me cover some of their expenses such as spaying, vet bills and food.
Babies will have a fee of $100.00, of which $75.00 is a spay/neuter deposit. That means that when baby is old enough
to have the surgery, you arrange it and show me proof that it was done. You then get your deposit back. Usually spays
and neuters are done around 5-6 months of age. If you live in San Mateo County, I can help you find low cost options.
Do you have rabbit experience? This is not a requirement to adopt, but you should do some research, and know what you’re
getting into up front. There has been a revolution in rabbit care and health in the last 20 years, all good!
My recommended place to start is with the House Rabbit Society: their website, www.rabbit.org, or their House Rabbit
Handbook.
What you will get from me: to the best of my ability, a healthy, well socialized pet. I will tell you all about your
bunny, including any areas that may need work. I will help you find out what you need to know about housing, litter
training, behavior and health. If I can’t answer a question, I’ll find out who or where to ask. I will be a resource
for you over the lifetime of your bunny, as long as we can stay in touch.
You will get a ready to love companion, sheltered with care and love.
