Giant, friendly rabbit for adoption!

Description

Hello everyone, I adopted this rabbit, Midna, earlier this year from someone who'd told me that I would always be able to bring her back if she wasn't fitting into my family very well. After reaching out to this person, it's become clear to me that she has no intention of taking her back, so I need to find her a new home. Midna is a large rabbit - she was close to 20 lbs when I adopted her, which is what these pictures show, but I've been working with her to keep her weight down and she is now down to around 16 lbs. She likely will not be lower than that. She is not spayed. The person I adopted her from was unsure about her age, and so I skipped getting her spayed because in my experience, the older the rabbit, the less likely behaviors are to change afterwards, such as marking. I believe she'd do great as an indoor pet for someone with more time to address the potty issues or someone who would like to keep her outside, perhaps as a breeding doe. She is not proven. As for the good: this rabbit is super sweet. She doesn't like fast movements around her face, but if you could just put her on your lap or next to you on the couch and just pet her, she would be yours forever. She doesn't fight much while being held, but definitely doesn't like it and tends to avoid me afterwards. Because she is such a large rabbit, I'd prefer to give her to someone experienced in keeping them. Store bought cages won't work for her. She needs to be kept in a "puppy pen", 36" high or something else along those lines. I've got her in a converted chicken coop in my garage. She absolutely needs social time every day. This is a rabbit that definitely yearns for human contact and just melts in your hands when you pet her. I'd prefer to find her a family without small kids, because she will lunge and nip at hands/feet if they move to quickly next to her face, even if you're just walking near her - she has never drawn blood. I am very conscious of this issue and walk slowly around her and have never had issues. My 5 year old on the other hand...it's been a struggle. Older kids/teens would be perfect for her. Rehoming fee is only $20 and she comes with all her food and a free flake or two of timothy hay, but you must have a cage set up for her and I must be able to view your set up in person. This is not a rabbit that I want anyone/thing to eat - she is extremely friendly. Please let me know if you're interested in meeting her! I'm just trying to find a better home for her than what she currently has here.
