Bucky Rabbit Mini Rex Huntsville, AL

Bucky is the life of the party! Happy and playful, he just wants to be wherever you are. This boy loves affection and cuddles! He is a mini rex breed and his fur feels like velvet! He is estimated to be about 2 years old.

Things haven’t always been good for Bucky. We aren't sure where he was before he was dumped, but we do know that he was abandoned, caught by good Samaritans, but unfortunately given to a cruel Tennessee woman who fought to get him, bypassing a bunny rescue who was trying to help him. Sadly, things got so much worse for poor Bucky! He was kept on sharp, painful wire with other bunnies, and fed only rotten, decaying fruit. He had to watch the evil woman pick out and shoot bunnies for fun (horrific!). Thank goodness he and a few of the other bunnies were saved (which turned out to be our Sable and Halo, and also Walter at Bunny Rescue Nashville). We are so grateful he was saved. We hope in time he will have no memory of this past.

He is neutered and vaccinated against RHDV2. Bucky has a record with one of our local vets and is very healthy. He is eligible to meet other bunnies in “speed dates” as a bunny companion.

Rabbits can live 10-12 years with good care and an indoor, safe living space! Rabbits need daily Timothy hay, nutritious pellets, greens/veggies, and a bowl of fresh water. Free-roaming or exercise pens work best! We do not recommend cages or hutches or outdoor housing.

Our adoption process:

(1) We ask that you look through our educational slides and writeup (under 10 minutes) using the big buttons on the middle of the page here: www.huntsvillehouserabbits.com

(2) Fill out an adoption application here: www.huntsvillehouserabbits.com/adopt(No obligation to adopt from filling one out.)

(3) You will be contacted and we’ll set up a meeting for you to meet the bunny!
We advise having a safe indoor space available and an emergency fund set aside for an unexpected vet visit for any pet.

We also strongly encourage attending our Bunny Basics event (every month on the third Saturday at Southpaw Animal Clinic in Madison, 1-3pm) to learn more about bunny care. We especially recommend this if you are new to rabbits or it has been many years, have small children or multiple pets, or have any history with 4H (as their instruction is often extremely lacking / incorrect).

Please reach out if you have any questions! Message us on our Facebook rescue page or e-mail us at HuntsvilleHouseRabbits@gmail.com

Note: Our rescue does not do on-the-spot adoptions; instead we schedule a meetup for you to meet the bunny you are interested in first and make sure you are comfortable with everything required for their care. We must have a form from you first. We find that this helps tremendously in helping adopters find the rabbit that is right for them.

Our adoption fee for a single rabbit is $100 or $150 for a bonded pair, or $225 for our trio. This is less than the cost of spay or neuter alone for a single bunny (without the RHDV2 vaccine).
