My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Serve & Volley are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They're a dynamic duo who are ready to make friends! Volley is the more outgoing of the two, and he will eagerly hop over to say hi to anyone who walks by their enclosure. He loves being pet, especially on the sides of his face and the top of his nose. Serve will cautiously hop over too but is more hesitant with pets. With time, we know she will learn that people can be friends too! Serve & Volley love to spend the afternoon cuddling together.

Serve & Volley are currently in a foster home, and here's what their foster has to say about them: "Serve is the shyer of the two, and she likes to play with Volley. Once she warms up to you, if you sit on the floor next to her, she'll come and sit on your lap and let you pet her. She also likes to look at herself in the mirror and who can blame her?! If I was that cute I would too! Volley is very friendly and affectionate and likes to hop around and interact with my kitten. Volley also loves food so much he'll even steal it out of Serve's mouth! Sometimes he will escape his pen at night but never causes trouble when he gets out.

Why adopt a pair of rabbits who are already bonded? Rabbits are very social creatures that enjoy the company of other rabbits. Bonded rabbits typically have a very strong bond and it's essential to keep them together as they depend on each other. And plus, when you adopt a bonded pair of rabbits, you're saving two lives instead of one!

Many people incorrectly think that caring for two rabbits will double the time, cost, and space required compared to a single rabbit. This isn't necessarily true, as bonded rabbits (usually!) share their litterboxes, hay, and toys. Often buying veggies in bulk is more economical too. If you've never bonded rabbits before, buying a pair who's already bonded will save you a lot of time (and headache!) of bonding them yourself. A bonded pair will also keep each other entertained while you're at work for the day, hopefully keeping themselves (mostly) out of mischief. Double your cuteness and double your fun by adopting a bonded pair of rabbits!

Serve & Volley are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.
