1801-1659 Esther the Rabbit needs a home
Hi everyone, my name is Esther and I am a female rabbit probably between 1-3 years old. I am a sweet bunny but I have not been handled much, so I squeak a fair amount while you are trying to pick me up. To pick me up you scoop me under my front legs with one hand and then scoop up my back end with your other hand. Then you rest all 4 of my feet on your chest. Once I am there I am quiet and content! I DO LOVE TO BE PETTED! The staff does not think I am spayed yet but they will do that here once I am adopted if you like.. This will help me be a better pet and littertrain easier. If you are thinking of adopting an indoor, house rabbit please read below to see if rabbits are the perfect pet for you.
Rabbits can be great pets! They can live 7-11 years, they have tons of personality, are litter-trained, are very social, and are very smart. They should never be left in their cages 24/7 but should be let out to hop around for exercise and stimulation for their brains everyday. They are as intelligent as cats!
Once they are spayed and neutered, which the shelter here will do (just ask the adoption desk staff), they will easily litter train. They will pick the spot in their cage where they want the litter box, and when they are hopping around, you should pull their litter box out of their cage into the room. They need Timothy hay, fresh fruits and vegetables, and rabbit pellets available daily. Water bottles work best in the cage but they use bowls of water when out of their cage. Chew toys are NEEDED to wear down their teeth, which are constantly growing. Wood, sticks, paper towel rolls and manufactured rabbit toys work great. They need small fleece blankets, a large igloo or a big wooden box to sleep in or on top of.
Their cage must be large enough to hop around in, and to lay down in and kick their feet behind them. If it has two stories, that works great. If they are litter-trained, you can use a large dog crate. A great book to learn EVERYTHING about a house rabbit including foods and chewing deterrents for your electrical cords is "THE HOUSE RABBIT HANDBOOK" written by Marinell Harriman.
