Snowball Bun (Bonded to Aloo) Rabbit Champagne D'Argent Mix Baltimore, MD

SNOWBALL BUN AND ALOO ARE A BONDED PAIR AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER!

Snowball Bun is almost 4 years old, and has beautiful pale fur with dark ears and a white snip on her nose. She is very shy but will climb all over you for treats. If you shake the treat bag she is a new bunny. She’s also very curious and loves exploring new spaces and surfaces (she’s not afraid to jump onto a couch or chair to see what’s there).

Snowball Bun is anxious and high strung, and her foster has been working with her to make her feel safe. She also does not like hand coming to her quickly and will nip or lunge, so slow and steady is the way to interact with her. She has to settle in to become less wary of new people, but she’s still not sure about petting. She is aggressive around meal times and when she sees food. She will also start chasing and humping Aloo around meal time and will steal food. Her fosters have found success avoiding this behavior by separating feeding into 2-3 times daily or spreading food in a snuffle mat/ scattered.

She loves having free roam time, and loves to dig into blankets or towels- especially if there are treats hidden inside! She likes to disappear into little hidey boxes or tunnels. She’s good with her litter box and a good hay eater too. She loves butter lettuce and apple/banana as treats.

This adorable pair is likely best suited for an experienced rabbit household, but with a patient owner we think they have a lot of love to give! If you think you are the right home, please contact us.

If you are interested in adopting Snowball Bun and Aloo, please fill out the application at friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform and someone will call or email you to schedule an interview. Their adoption fee is $200 (for both) plus a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit.

Snowball Bun & Aloo are in a foster home in Baltimore, MD.

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.
