About a year and a half ago we ( Coulee Region Humane Society) received a surrender of 17 bunnes that had been living together ( and breeding ) in the corn crib of a family farm.
We named them names that had "fall " themes and this little lady was named Cornucopia ( yeh I didn't like it either. )
Some of these rabbits were adopted out by us and several went to Dane County Humane Society (Tonyshuman worked with a few ofthis rabbit's siblings in the Madison area) and K&R Sanctuary.
Cornucopia was renamed Lacee and last year her owners recontacted our shelter stating that Lacee would randomly bite her owners (they had kids ); the family worked with her for quite awhile but recently surrendered her for the reason of random biting.
I have spent some time with her and she is very socialized and likes to be pettedbut a few caregivers have gotten bitten by her by cleaning her cage with her in it.
I had her in a pen the other day and she bit my jeans but not me
She is not an aggressive nor a mean rabbit at all but she does occasionally bite.
I personally have no issues with a rabbit like this and consider it normal but families adopting rabbits will not pick a rabbit like this. We recently sent 7 really cute and nice smaller breed rabbits to the new Ozaukee shelter north of Milwaukee because we have had so few rabbit adoptions.
Cassandra has tried several rescues and we have not been able to place her.
I would adopt this rabbit in a heartbeat but the "Inn is Full"
I asked Cassandra today if I could post her on RO as a last dictch attempt to find her a home
She would need to be adopted just like any other animal by filling out a shelter application.
or she could go to an appropriate rescue .
If anyone is interested in her please PM me for any details.
The pic posted of her is one that was taken 1.5 yrs ago; I can take additional photos for anyone interested as she is a little bigger than in the pic.
For all experienced rabbit lovers please give this girl a chance.
