Rehoming female Netherland Dwarf

Beaverton OR

Description

I need to rehome a female Netherland Dwarf bunny born April of 2017 or about there if I recall correctly. We adopted her from her breeders at about 12 weeks or so and have had her ever since. We love her very much but are expecting our first child unexpectedly and need to downsize our pet collection. We haven't had as much time to work with and interact with our bunnies and know we will have even less after the baby comes, so just trying to find them all good homes. This doe is a red-eyed white and about 3 lbs full grown, but I can weigh her if interested. She is a very sweet bunny, loves to hop around the house and do binkys before stretching out and resting. Her breeders husband use to put her on the couch to stretch out next to him when he was watching sports. We don't watch much TV, so haven't continued that. She gets along with all our dogs and cats, but does not like other bunnies. If she cannot avoid the other bunnies, she will start a fight. We tried bonding her to two females we had and they really beat her up and traumatized her before we could get them separated, so she will not be a good companion for another bunny. She has been a solely indoor bunny, is fully litterbox trained and will hold it for as long as possible if no litterbox is available. She does not chew on cords, carpeting or furniture, but will chew on books, magazines or cardboard that are left in her reach. She used to be a full free roam house bunny before the cats got to rough with their wrestling with her and I was concerned about her safety. They also love to eat her hay and pellets and we didn't want that to continue. So she is currently in a cage and just given supervised free time. She is an indoor bunny only as she is prone to sunburns and overheating, but can have short supervised time outside in the summer time if you would like, just make sure the grass and weeds have not been chemically treated beforehand. She has not been vaccinated for the deadly strain of virus that domestic rabbits can get from wild rabbits as she does not go outside currently. If you will be letting her be outside you will have to get that vaccine to protect her. It is recently a new vaccine so I don't know how much it costs, but our rabbit specialist vet charges $85 just for the office visit plus whatever care and medication they give. Rabbits are considered exotic pets so not all veterinarians will work with them, but they usually are very healthy and hardly ever require vet care. I have only needed to take bunnies to the vet three times in almost 30 years of owning them. This bunny would be a great pet for a rabbit knowledgeable child, first time pet rabbit owner or just keep her for natural garden and flower bed fertilizer. She is not to be used for meat. She will come with a gallon bag of show rabbit food and some hay to get you started and some rabbit care and information sheets. If I can find her favorite ball toy, I will include that as well. She will not come with a cage, but I do have some I can sell separately. One is a wire cage with a playpen that attaches to it, the other is a two story wooden rabbit hutch that needs to be cleaned before use for a rabbit as it was used for chickens by the previous owner. My pregnancy has prevented me from being able to clean it. If you are interested in the cages, let me know and we can talk further. If you have any questions about the bunny, please don't hesitate to ask. I am asking a $40 OBO rehoming fee for her to a good home only.
