Holly and Winter are low key girls who were just rescued after their group of 13 was dumped in a field in Kissimmee. Thankfully a good Samaritan saw them just in time and scooped them up. We thought they were maybe only 6 months old because they are so small for lops but the vet thinks they are probably a couple years old. We suspect that they were kept in a hutch and that the horrible person who jumped them was probably a backyard breeder.
They are so grateful to be in a comfy space now and are enjoying getting fresh greens and hanging out in their hidey house. Winter who we think might be the mom will let you pet her on the head and Holly is learning to trust people but still a curious girl. They are somewhat shy but with some one on one time and treats, we think they will get more comfortable. They would prefer a mellow home with someone aged 12 and up.
Message if you'd like to meet them!

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.
