Chester the Dutchie's Story

Meet Chester the Dutchie! He was found hanging out under a car in a neighborhood just waiting for someone to help! He was a hungry bun. We even got his rescue on video!<br/><br/>We think Chester is at least a year old. He has a great personality and likes to scope things out, then go back into potato mode. He is neutered and uses his litterbox but still getting the hang of keeping all the poop in the box. He likes to sit and be pet. Chester would be ok with older, respectful kids. <br/><br/>Message to meet him! <br/><br/> <br/><br/>See our adoption application here:<br/><br/>bit.ly/Scbadopterapp<br/><br/> <br/><br/>-----------------<br/><br/>The adoption fee helps to offset the spay/neuter cost. It&#39;s important to do to prevent cancer and improve litterbox habits. Our vets provide a very discounted rate so this is a great deal! Our buns also receive a wellness check and parasite test. <br/><br/>-------------<br/> <br/><br/>First time rabbit adopter? We can send you information about housing and care. You should also know:<br/><br/> <br/><br/>- 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.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>- 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.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>- Bunnies are NOT a good fit for young kids. They are fragile, startle easily, usually don&#39;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&#39;s a lot of work you don&#39;t want to take on if you&#39;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&#39;s no commitment involved :)<br/><br/> <br/><br/>- 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&#39;ll make a bunny friend. Spending time on the floor with them and offering treats is a great way to bond with them.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>- 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.
