Bad news for campus-dwelling bunny lovers. UF no longer allows small animals (like bunnies & guinea pigs) in the dorms. Not only is this sad for those with bunnies of their own but it also eliminates some of our foster homes.
If you have ever considered fostering, there is no time like the present!
We are beginning the “Nobody Likes Us, Everybody Hates Us” campaign, encouraged by bunnies on the verge of going EMO as they have been looked over by prospective adopters year after year…after year. These are the bigger bunnies, the whites with the pink eyes (no relation to the devil, we promise), those with conditions that require extra care and grooming such as the occasional poopy butt (but who among us has not made that late night trip to Taco Bell?), and others considered plain or boring due to their coloring or less than I’m going to take the place of any bf who wronged you personalities.
Our first loathsome bunny is Tina. I call her Tina Bobina and she loves it (not really). She’s a little girl who’s been with us several years now. Her crime that makes her less than desirable? When folks reach into her cage, she charges and grunts at them. Come into my house without permission and see what I do…. Once you get over her swearing and tiny punches, she loves to have her head rubbed, I often pick her little self up and carry her with me around while I work. She’s never ever bitten me, though I cannot say what she’s called me in her tiny bunny grunt language.
If you’d like to adopt Tina or one of our other longtime residence, please Contact Us.
To view other bunnies in this campaign, visit: “Nobody Likes Us, Everybody Hates Us“
Do you have questions about baby bunnies found in the wild? Check out our new page ‘Wild Bunnies‘. It is full of helpful information and offers a local wildlife contact as well.
It’s show time bunny lovers!! We will be in Gainesville & Orlando this weekend for Petsmart Charities National Adopt-a-thon. Come visit with our adorable, adoptable bunnies or inquire about rabbit care from one of our volunteers. Hope to see you there!
Gainesville: Petsmart @ 3736 SW Archer Rd, Gainesville, FL
Orlando: Petsmart @ 3232 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL
