Henderson's Story

Interested in adopting? Please apply here: bit.ly/Scbadopterapp <br/><br/>Meet Henderson! He and his brothers Byers, Wheeler and Sinclair are named after the Stranger Things boys. His brothers are also up for adoption separately. <br/><br/>We rescued a group of 21 buns who we breeding out of control in a neighborhood in Palm Bay during the hard freeze last winter. We're so glad that we were able to catch them because it was a dangerous environment, with predators claiming some of their family. <br/><br/>Henderson is a friendly boy. He'll come up to say hi and do nose boops and he's receptive to pets as well.<br/><br/>He is neutered and good with his litter box. He and his brothers are stressed by kids and would be best for older kids and up. <br/><br/>He is likely going to be a large rabbit when fully grown, and will need lots of space to play! <br/><br/>Please note: Young bunnies are even more fragile so they are not a good fit for kids under 10. Bunnies will also go through a hormonal phase at 4-6 months of age and may be more messy with their litterbox habits, may squabble, and can have destructive behaviors. This is the reason SO many bunnies get rehomed or dumped outside. If you're a first time bunny person, a bunny who is already fixed may be better for you.<br/><br/>Currently located in Palm Bay.<br/><br/>-----------------<br/><br/>The adoption fee helps to offset the spay/neuter cost. It'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/>First time rabbit adopter? We can send you information about housing and care. You should also know:<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/>- 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/>- Bunnies are NOT a good fit for young kids. They are fragile, startle easily, usually don'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's a lot of work you don't want to take on if you'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's no commitment involved :)<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'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/>- 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.
