Elmo Rabbit Holland Lop Indianapolis, IN

Please contact Sharon (adopt@indyclaw.org) for more information about this pet.



Elmo is a little cuddlebun who was owner surrendered.  

He is neutered and litterbox trained, but has issues.
Elmo suffers from a prolapsed rectum, it's kinda turned
inside out.  It doesn't slow him down or cause him any
distress; he still loves to be held and petted.  But, it
does mean his sphincter muscle is unable to funciton
and he cannot control his droppings.  He uses the litter
box to pee, but has no control over the other.  A tile or
linoleum floor that is easy to sweep up the droppings
is recommended.


All rabbits must have an adequate exercise area, whether it is a supervised exercise pen or an area in the house. It is recommended that the rabbit cage be cleaned out weekly and any old hay, pellets and bedding be removed every three days and special hutch disinfectants be used to prevent the spread of bacteria. Wet foods, such as greens, fruits and vegetables should be disposed of daily. Also, an earthenware food bowl and a drinking bottle will be required to feed and water the rabbit. The most important component of the rabbit's diet is hay, a roughage that reduces the chance of blockages and malocclusion whilst providing indigestible fiber necessary to keep the gut moving. Grass hays such as timothy are generally preferred.  Lastly, always remember that your bunny needs to have some type of rabbit approved wooden chew toy, so that they may wear down their teeth to help prevent malocclusion issues. 



IndyCLAW Rescue is founded on the premise of 'Creating Life-long Animal Welfare'. We do have an adoption contract and do home visits to ensure that this pet will be achieving a life-long home. There is also an adoption fee. Each rabbit is spayed / neutered prior to adoption and the adoption fee only partially reimburses our expenses in preparing your new pet.  We do not ship our adoptable pets nor do we adopt to breeders or resellers.
