Adopt Sonic - Special adopter needed! a Agouti American / Mixed (short coat)

Location:

Melbourne, FL

Description:

Meet our handsome Sonic (formerly Hickory)! We can't believe anyone could abandon this loving boy. He was left at the Florida Wildlife Hospital and is so happy now that he's with a great foster and getting the space and love he deserves. Sonic is currently being fostered at the Rotary Park nature center in Merritt Island if you'd like to go meet him. He's having a great time exploring and he LOVES meeting new people.Sonic will need a special adopter because he has e.cuniculi. Nearly half of rabbits carry it and most will never have symptoms. Sonic had a slight head tilt, which is a symptom. But he was treated and his follow up test showed he does have an active case. With EC, "flares" can be brought on by stress or old age so there is a possibility that he could develop symptoms in the future. But he is doing great now and we're hoping that someone with a big heart will come along!Anyone would be lucky to have this darling bun. He's like a real life teddy bear! Message us to meet him!Adoption fee: $100 for the neuterAbout 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.##1539867##
