Sammy looks like he takes after mom with a few long tufts of fur! At his age, it is difficult to tell how long it will grow once he is a full adult (about 9-12 months of age), so his future family may have to make sure to comb frequently to keep his fur from getting tangled. He and his siblings are active, curious, and love to explore- everything is still new and fun to them! As he grows older, his personality will develop and we look forward to getting to know this little bun.

This little boy was born to who we affectionately call "January Mom" and "January Dad" as their first litter of buns. The whole family was dumped at an Orange County shelter with no history provided, and because none of the rabbits were fixed, Mom was pregnant with a second litter before anyone realized. SDHRS received a call for help from the Orange County shelter so now the entire family is with SDHRS staff and fosters to help them find their forever homes.

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by a calicivirus that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. It is not contagious to people or other animals. For the first time, the virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. UPDATE: In May 2021, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has confirmed new cases of RHDV in rabbits in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura County. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit.
