New Zealand, Flemish Giant [Mix]

Chino and Chopper are looking for a FOSTER HOME while they are awaiting their forever home. Meet our handsome "twins," with Chino being the lighter of the pair and Chopper the darker one. This pair of brothers are looking for a home together. They have been together since they were born, and they are very bonded to eachother, so we will only adopt them out together, as they get along so well. They are 15 months old as of Feb 14th, and currently weigh 4 pounds 8 ounces each. They were altered and are now ready to find a forever home. The boys are fairly large in size, so they need to be housed in a very large cage with lots of out of cage time, or in a 4" tall pen. Chino is a great hopper, and he hops right out of a 2' high pen.

They are a bit squirmy when they are being held, but are great to watch as they hop around on the ground. Chino is the shyer of the two. Chopper is more curious and much easier to pick up and hold, but he does retreat to his hidey house if he is nervous. Chino will take off if he thinks you are going to pick him up. They will probably be around 5-6 pounds full grown, the size of their momma. An approved adoption application and donation are required for adoption. Indoor homes only. E-mail us for an application to get the process started. Applications are processed in the order they are received.

BACKGROUND: Chino and Chopper were born in the For Bunny Sake Rescue. We pulled their momma Chai from a shelter in Philadelphia, where the staff was housing all the rabbits together. Well you know what they say about rabbits.... Many of the females became pregnant, including Chai. Chai delivered her babies in the comfort of her foster home. She was a great momma to them. The babies were separated after weaning, and the boys were so bonded, they were kept together as a pair. Chopper developed an upper respiratory infection and ear infection after his neuter surgery, a sign of stress in rabbits. Then he managed to pass it on to Chino. They were treated with antibiotics and they are doing great. Chopper's ears still need to be checked periodically, to make sure they stay healthy. He has a tendency to get a waxy build up, which does not appear to cause him any problems, but it should be monitored.

WHY BONDED PAIRS ARE MORE THAN JUST TWICE THE FUN! Many of the inquiries we receive are from people who are looking to find a friend for a bunny that they currently have. If you are considering adding a rabbit to your family for the first time, and have a feeling that you may want to add another one some time down the road, you may want to adopt a pair. Bonded pairs are already bonded! The bonding process can be a lot of work and you need to have lots of patience. Rabbits are very social animals, but they can also be very territorial. We always prepare our adopters that some rabbits may never bond and you must be prepared for the chance that you may have two "single" rabbits instead of a pair. But rabbits that have already been through the bonding process are just waiting to find a home - together! Please consider them. They are often times overlooked because people feel that they do not want to take on the extra work of another rabbit in the beginning. But there is really not much more work and they keep each other company and entertained. One cage, one litterbox (in most cases), one water bottle and one food crock. Just twice the fun! They really are double the pleasure and fun!
