Pom Pom loves attention and snuggles. She is 2 months old today! (We figure she was born May 1st.) Pom Pom was the last bun rescued from the REW colony in Ft. Lauderdale in May. She was about 3 weeks old and tiny when we got her. Foster Samantha has been taking great care of her and giving her lots of love since. We're so thankful we got her before predators did.
Back in May, rescuer Veronica as well as Kristina from Penny and Wild Smalls of South Florida faced shouting renters who obstructed multiple rescue efforts of the buns who were sneezing, thin, injured, and pregnant. They are true bunny heroes for not giving up and going back until all were rescued.
Pom Pom will be spayed when she's 6 months old but she can be adopted in the meantime. The spay is covered by the adoption fee ($100).
She's going to be a good sized bun once she grows into her ears.

About bunnies:
First time rabbit adopter? We can send you information about housing and care. You should also know:

- 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.
- 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.
- 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 :)
- 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.
- 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.
