Petunia (Bonded to Geoff) Rabbit Lionhead Columbia, MD

Petunia is bonded to Geoff. Petunia is a social butterfly.

Petunia is a curious, but quiet little lionhead. She doesn't chew any of her toys, but she will start tossing them around if you start playing with her. She enjoys the peace and quite household type. When she sleeps she likes to stretch her legs out and lay her head flat on the carpet. When she is sleeping she lays her ears back, and is one of the cutest bunnies out there. Petunia is a lionhead, and gets a lot of fur around her eyes. She may need grooming every now and then to make sure she can see. Petunia a little mote adventurous than her brother Geo when it comes to treats. She loves her Timothy biscuits, but will happily accept some fresh fruits like banana. Petunia has good litter box habits and hasn't had any pee accidents. She does however leave some poops around her pen. Petunia is an ok hay eater, but should always be encouraged to forage in the box. She is not a messy rabbit and everything that goes in the litter box stays in the litter box.

ABOUT FRIENDS OF RABBITS
Friends of Rabbits is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue operating in the greater DC-metro area. We take rabbits at risk of euthanasia from shelters in Maryland, DC and Virginia. We also rescue abandoned and neglected rabbits and assist with large confiscation cases. We provide foster homes and veterinary care for our rabbits, have them spayed/neutered and find them new forever homes through our adoption programs.
Please note: We are not licensed to handle wildlife.

Come Meet Our Pets...
We have adoption events multiple times a month. Events take place at headquarters located in Columbia, MD and once a month in Fairfax, VA. We also have regularly scheduled events in local pet stores throughout the metropolitan region.

Our Adoption Process...
Prior to adoption, we ask that people fill out an application: www.friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform

1. The adopter must be a responsible adult, which is at least 18 years old. If a family adopts the rabbit, the primary caregiver must be an adult or a responsible older teen. Younger children may do the work necessary to care for the rabbit under the daily supervision of an adult. All adults in the family must agree on adopting the rabbit.

2. We do not adopt our rabbits out as classroom pets. Exceptions would be adoption to the teacher who may bring the rabbit into the classroom on a regular basis.

3. Rabbits are social animals. The adopted rabbit(s) must live indoors in an appropriate size space where they will receive daily interaction with the family. The best possible space would be freedom in a rabbit proofed room. If that is not possible, a dog exercise pen with rabbit safe flooring works well. Other options include a large dog crate or a roomy cage. The best cages are at least 42 to 48 inches long by 24 inches wide. The 24 inch width allows for use of the widest and deepest jumbo litter boxes, which work well for most rabbits. A custom space can also be constructed using shelving material. Caged rabbits need daily exercise time outside the cage.

4. If you are renting your home, please have written consent from your landlord before you adopt.

5. For new adopters, we conduct an interview to make sure that the rabbit will be going to a safe environment.

6. When they are ill, rabbits require a veterinarian that specializes in exotic animals. Be aware that exotic veterinarians can be considerably more expensive than one for your cat or dog. Plan vet visits into your budget accordingly.

7. If you are looking to adopt a companion for your existing rabbit, your rabbit must be spayed or neutered prior to any introductions.

8. The final step to the adoption process is filling out a contract, which is specific to Friends of Rabbits. The cost to adopt a rabbit from us is $150 for a single rabbit and $200 for a pair. The adoption fees include a goodie bag with rabbit care information, necessities, toys and a coupon for discounted rabbit supplies, and cover the cost of the rabbit's spay/neuter. As of January 1, 2022, there is also a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit.
