Blueberry and Chickpea Rabbit Bunny Rabbit Mix Rancho Cordova, CA

Blueberry and Chickpea were from a surprise litter born the day after his mom moved to our foster program. After the babies were old enough to be spayed and neutered, sisters Blueberry and Chickpea decided they wanted to stay together. Both girls are large (about 8 lbs). They love tunnels, boxes, and snuggle time together.

Introducing two rabbits can be be a difficult process. We recommend that adopters interested in having two rabbits adopt a pair that is already bonded.

Blueberry and Chickpea reside in a foster home and attend monthly adoption events. Come meet adoptable rabbits at the next second Saturday adoption event.


Adoption Events:
The second Saturday of each month we rotate between the following Petcos from 10:00 am and 3:00 pm, except the month of August which is held in Fair Oaks.

RHDV-2 Safety Protocols:
As a safety precaution for people bringing rabbits for nail trims or to find a friend for their rabbit, guests will need to pre-register rabbits to confirm they have received the RHDV-2 vaccination. You only need to pre-register once while the vaccination certificate is valid.
Donations of $10 for nail trims are appreciated!

To pre-register, send an email to NailTrimPre-Reg@allearssac.org. Your email needs to include:
• Your name
• Your rabbit’s name
• A legible image of your rabbit’s vaccination certificate
• A picture of your rabbit ?


We do not have a shelter to introduce our foster rabbits and our volunteers have limited time to respond to all online inquiries, so the best way to meet one of our rabbits is to attend our next adoption day. Sometimes people bond to a different rabbit in person than the one they choose online.

All rabbits have their own individual personalities, so our goal is to find the best match suited for your environment and lifestyle. Our adoption fee is $75 and all of our rabbits are spayed/neutered and vaccinated for Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV).

Please provide answers to the following questions to hep us determine if one of our rabbits will be a good match for you and your family. We will review your questionnaire and contact you to set up an appointment for a phone or video call.

You will need to get your home ready before bringing a bunny home. Read more about living with rabbits at allearssac.org or rabbit.org, or buy the House Rabbit Handbook. Bunny-proof your home and protect electrical cords. Decide what to buy in terms of enclosure, exercise pen, or other housing, plus food, litter boxes, toys and other care items. Locate an exotic veterinarian who sees rabbits in your area.
