I have been trying to find a loving home for two rabbits. I am not sure how to post a photo. The rabbits are between 3 and 4 years old. They are named George and Gracie. I was told (from the previous owner) that they are half Flemish Giant and half New Zealand.
Gracie is very beautiful and she is black with “otter” markings. People have said that she looks like a Rex. I was told that the rabbits are siblings and that they have been together since birth. George is quite handsome and he is sweet and goofy. He is the more outgoing of the pair. Before he was rehomed, he liked to free roam the house and he would sit on the couch with his previous family and watch T.V. George is pretty easy going but neither rabbits like to be held and both a rather shy. Gracie is very shy. They have come to trust me and I can pet them but they are mostly independent and stay close to one another and snuggle and groom each other when they are not napping. They are incredibly sweet together.
They are about 12 pounds each. They live in an air conditioned room in a 12 foot long enclosure that is constructed by combing three Great Dane sized XL dog crates.
The rabbits were adopted during the pandemic. They were owned by a family with five young children. The parents were both school teachers and the rabbits were a family “project” during the time when all classes were virtual. They were spay and neutered and I adopted them when they were about six months old. The parents had to return to the classroom and they could no longer find the time to care for the rabbits.
I have four rabbits but I have devised very serious sinusitis that has caused repeated sinus infections. I am keeping two of the rabbits who are not “adoptable” be use the other rabbits are more “feral” (for lack of a better term) and one of the other rabbits has issues with hip dysplasia and may have a spinal injury,
The rabbits are all very healthy. It has been over two years since I have had a veterinarian look at them (my finances are a mess right now).
I take very good care of the rabbits and I feed them quality hay, organic salads, 6 Oz each of Timothy pellets daily and only filters water. I groom them and cut their nails, I wear an N95 when I take care of them but my allergies are chronic a
and I need surgery. The sinusitis became much worse over the last three years.
I reached out to the local humane society but they don’t help with rabbits and so, they are on a waiting list at the portland Humane Society but I sincerely doubt they will ever contact me and I do not think I would have the heart to surrender them unless I was certain that they had a loving home ready go adopt. I posted them several times in craigslist but I pulled the posting be use, like their previous owner, the only responses I got were from unsavory characters who would not provide a home but just wanted them as “meat” rabbits.
I am committed to finding Gracie and George a good home with experienced rabbit people who will care for them with kindness and good support for a forever home commitment. I want them to have a better life if I rehome them.
In the past, the veterinarians who saw them felt that I was providing a very good home with excellent care. I just don’t see this being sustainable with my sinus problems. I am switching from Timothy go Orchard grass but it is impossible to avoid the dust and fur in their indoor space and I don’t think I can provide a proper environment for them outdoors. Again, I don’t have the finances to do more for them than I am currently providing, sadly. I am doing my very best.
They are well loved and I want a better life for them. If I can reduce te rabbit group to the other two, it will be easier to clean the room and keep the allergens under control. I hire pet sitters when needed but this is all beyond what I can reasonably sustain. I had no idea how expensive and challenging this would be. I wanted to save their lives but I didn’t realize how hard it would be to keep four large rabbits.
