Timothy and Alfalfa Rabbit Florida White Melbourne, FL

Meet Timothy and Alfalfa! These sweet boys are about a year old. They were abandoned at a house that was sold with a number of siblings. They are mellow and loving and ready for a furever family. They are both a very friendly and playful bonded pair.

Why white bunnies?

White bunnies are known for their laid back temperaments and loving personalities. I call them the golden retrievers of rabbits. Smaller breeds tends to be more skittish and sometimes sassy (lionheads . But white buns are easy going and generally easier to handle.

First time rabbit adopter? We can send you information about housing and care. You should also know:



- Bonding bunnies - both buns must be fixed or there will be territory issues and aggression. Read more on the House Rabbit Society website. Or contact us about low cost spay/neuter.



- Bunnies are NOT starter pets. They need (indoor) space and attention like a small dog would. They need hay, pellets and greens daily. And any health issues (not eating, etc.) require immediate attention.



- Bunnies are NOT a good fit for young kids. They are fragile, startle easily, usually don't like to be handled, and do not do well under stress like the general household noise that comes with little ones. Trust us, it's a lot of work you don't want to take on if you're caring for small kids. If your little one absolutely wants to meet a bunny, we can set up a visit with one of our more mellow bunnies and there's no commitment involved :)



- Bunnies can be somewhat skittish but they are also fun. If patient and understand that bunnies get comfortable with people on their own terms, you'll make a bunny friend. Spending time on the floor with them and offering treats is a great way to bond with them.



- Bunnies MUST be housed indoors. RHDV-2, a highly contagious and fatal wild rabbit disease in now in Florida and transmitted in the ground. Domestic rabbits cannot tolerate the heat. They also need to be safe from predators and parasites like ear mites. They will be much happier being a part of the family, inside.
