Big Papi & Little Poppy's Story

Big Papi & Little Poppy: A Little Love Story With Very Big Ears!<br/><br/>Two little bunnies, four magnificent ears, and one very special bond!<br/><br/>Meet Big Papi and Little Poppy, an adorable pair of young Rex rabbits who were rescued after being found trying to survive outdoors. We suspect they may be father and daughter, but one thing's for sure: these two are absolutely precious together!<br/><br/>Little Poppy, about six months old, is the more outgoing of the pair. This beautiful black-and-white girl (with a little brown mixed in!) is sweet, curious, and playful. She comes running when it's time for greens, happily takes treats from your hand, enjoys being petted, and even accepts little kisses on her head! And those enormous ears? When she was younger, one stood up while the other flopped sideways like a helicopter blade. These days, both stand proudly at attention!<br/><br/>Big Papi, about a year old, is her handsome brown-and-white companion. He's a gentle, cautious boy who is learning that people can be trusted. He's already made wonderful progress and now enjoys being petted while munching his pellets. And having his brave little companion nearby seems to give him the confidence to keep coming out of his shell.<br/><br/>But the sweetest thing about these two is how much they adore each other. They've been known to snuggle up together, lounge side by side, and even use each other as pillows! Little Poppy brings the confidence, Big Papi brings the quiet charm, and together they're an irresistible pair.<br/><br/>These two little sweethearts are looking for a loving indoor home where they can enjoy plenty of space, delicious greens, gentle affection, and most importantly, each other.<br/><br/>**Could you give Big Papi and Little Poppy the happily-ever-after they deserve?**<br/><br/>This bonded pair is being fostered in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk, Virginia area. Video calls can be arranged for potential adopters who would like to meet her from a distance, and an in-person meeting can also be arranged. Transport may be possible to Northern Virginia, Maryland, or the Washington, DC area for the right home.<br/><br/>To learn more about them, please inquire and complete an adoption application.<br/><br/>------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>INDOOR HOMES ONLY!<br/><br/>Our Adoption Process...<br/>Prior to adoption, we ask that people fill out an application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FRMD/Rabbit<br/><br/>1. The adopter must be a responsible adult, who 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.<br/><br/>2. We do not adopt our rabbits out as classroom pets.<br/><br/>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 (at least 12 square feet of room) with rabbit safe flooring works well. All rabbits need enough space for a full size litterbox, food and water dishes, space to hop around, and a spot to hide. Rabbits in a pen need daily exercise time outside the enclosure.<br/><br/>4. Outdoor play time is discouraged, but if you choose to allow short outdoor play in a secure area, be aware of hazards such as predatory birds, wild animals, neighborhood pets, and insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.<br/><br/>5. If you are renting your home, please have written consent from your landlord before you adopt.<br/><br/>6. For new adopters, we conduct an interview to make sure that the rabbit will be going to a safe environment.<br/><br/>7. 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. Healthy rabbits need an annual wellness check and vaccination against RHDV2.<br/><br/>8. If you are looking to adopt a companion for your existing rabbit, your rabbit must be spayed or neutered prior to any introductions.<br/><br/>9. 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 $110 for a single rabbit and $160 for a pair. <br/><br/>For more details and information about rabbit appropriate housing, rabbit diet, purchasing supplies, and a list of rabbit savvy veterinarians, please visit https://friendsofrabbits.org/adoption-checklist.
