Phoebe is an extra special girl! We are looking for a Foster to adopt home so that we can finalize the adoption once she is finished with her medical treatment.
We just rescued her after she was dumped with 12 others by the side of the road in kissimmee. She's so small that we thought she was a baby at first but it appears that she is a senior bun. She was in rough shape missing for and had injuries from another bunny it looks like but she's looking so much better in less than 2 weeks. She sleeps a lot but is a spunky girl and loves pets on the head. She is healing well from an eye ulcer that was treated with eye drops and she's also receiving an antibiotic for a possible respiratory infection.
Phoebe it's so silly. She sleeps in her litter box and poops on her bed. But she also loves to sleep halfway off the bed. She goes crazy for bananas! And she has the cutest little fluffy feet.
We suspect that this group of bunnies was kept in a hutch, and we think that Phoebe was a breeder bunny because she has a faded tattoo in her ear she has had a very rough life and is ready to be pampered like a little princess. She's low maintenance right now but will probably need senior bunny care in the near future so we are looking for someone who is committed. If you have room in your home and your heart for an extra special bunny, Phoebe is a great girl to consider!
Message us to meet her!

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.
