Rehoming a well-behaved, litter-trained house bunny

Austin TX

Description

Up for adoption and re-homing is Ollie (Oliver) whom I've been fostering for about 6 months. He's ready for his forever home. He makes a great house pet. He is kind, does not bite, and rarely chews things. He eats a pellet diet (does not like and will not eat loose hay at all) and loves to have occasional greens, apples, and veggies (I have a lot of food to provide for him). He is a thirsty guy who likes to have a running pet fountain to drink out of (which I will be happy to provide with him). He is litter trained and only urinates in his litter box. 98% of his poops also land in his box, save for a few stray pellets around the house, which is not an issue. The fact that he's trained is a huge plus for any new owner. I will be happy to provide his litter box and some pellets for him to start out with. A 40 pound bag of pellets costs anywhere from $7 to $11 depending on where you get it, and lasts a good while. It's just the simple pine pellet bedding (pick up from Tractor Supply or Tomlinsons delivers it). Because he urinates frequently, his box requires daily upkeep, but it's very easy and I will show you the system I have down to keep it easy and neat. He is NOT neutered so there will be babies if he is around an unfixed female. I don't know how he would behave with another bunny. The previous person who had him said he was friendly toward her other bunny but that her bunny was NOT keen on him. So you never know. He has spent a lot of time around cats and likes them (sometimes too much) and he should be fine around small dogs, given they would not chase him, to my knowledge. He'd be a great solo pet. Bunnies make a good animal companion. I don't know how old he is, but my guess is at least a few years. He appears to be in great health and is very independent. Life span for bunnies can be 7-10 years. I would like to adopt him to a serious pet owner, not someone who wants him as entertainment for a child who will get bored with him quickly. He is not a toy. He is used to a calm environment where he is treated like a normal pet, like a cat or dog. I do recommend limiting the room you keep him in to a single room or possibly two (using a pet gate), just to make it easier and more manageable. He would not be happy to be in a cage. He's just a regular pet, like any cat or dog, and he is a really sweet guy. He doesn't bite or lunge, is easy to care for, and well mannered. He reminds me of a little old man sometimes. Anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to get back with me. I am not in a hurry and will choose to re-home him only to someone who's serious about wanting a bunny for a long term pet and understanding their needs, and prepared to care for him. He will come with all of his creature comforts and I will show you how he's used to having things set up. You'll need to be willing to speak on the phone and come to a meet and greet. Thank you for your time. I am asking a very small rehoming fee of $25 for everything (food, litter, fountain, chew toys). My only concern is to pick the right home for him. The reason I am rehoming him is that I am preparing to move and cannot keep him with me. He is about 7.5 pounds and looks like a Palamino + Dutch mix (but not sure). He has a beautiful tan / fawn color. Thanks
