Dutch - Truman - Small - Adult - Male - Rabbit
Please feel free to join us at the Animal Rescue League for our Hug-A-Bun Sundays. The next ones will be held on The next ones will be held on AUGUST 31 and SEPTEMBER 28 from 2-4pm where we let out all the shelter rabbits in the multi-purpose room. This is a wonderful time for those who may be thinking about adopting a house rabbit. The rabbits are set up in large exercise pens so that they can run around and stretch as well as be socialized with other rabbit volunteers, previous adopters, fosters, and those who may be looking to adopt. JOIN US! Here is our handsome, friendly, loveable two-year old Dutch bunny boy, Truman. He was surrendered because his owner no longer wanted him and wanted to 'give him away'. We are so happy that he is at the shelter, safe, waiting for the perfect adopter to come along. The Dutch breed of rabbits are very intelligent, and extremely friendly. Truman follows that to a T! He will sit on your lap for a time, and then show you all his goofy bunny moves when he's out for exercise. He would, in fact, make a great bunny for a first-time bunny owner, and perhaps, he would make a good bunny friend to a spayed female bunny. If you are interested in Truman, feel free to complete the online application: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7G98MGG or contact Suzanne at 724.766.xxxx or by email at [email removed] Please Note: Truman will not be adopted as a pet for children. He deserves to be a family member, not treated like a toy. He may live for another 10 years or more, so be ready to commit to him for the rest of his life when placing an application. What do you need before taking home a house rabbit? Housing An Exercise Pen that is at least 36 inches in height is highly recommended. You can find them at many of your local pet stores. Here are some pictures of rabbits living inside homes in exercise pens, http://www.sandiegorabbits.org/housing/x-pen-living-can-improve-your-rabbits-life. Ideally, if one has the space, you can rabbit proof an area in your home, or try building this really cool bunny condo, http://breyfamily.net/bunnycage.html. Rabbits LOVE to run! Food We highly recommended, and strongly suggest that you feed your rabbits Oxbow Hay and Oxbow Bunny Basics-Adult Rabbit Food (pellets). You can find Oxbow products at most any pet store, or simply place your order online at Doctors Foster and Smith. The Oxbow Organic Barley Biscuits make an excellent and healthy treat. Remember, giving fruit to rabbits usually ends up upsetting their stomach. Fruit is very high in sugar which rabbits have a very difficult time digesting. Careful on the carrots, as these are very high in sugar as well. Rabbits also require 2-3 cups of fresh, dark leafy green vegetables per day. For a complete list of rabbit-friendly veggies, go here, http://rabbit.org/suggested-vegetables-and-fruits-for-a-rabbit-diet/ Litter NEVER use cat litter, pine or cedar shavings. It is extremely harmful to a rabbits liver and kidneys and will cause serious health problems. Use litters that are newspaper-based such as Carefresh, Yesterdays News, or Cell Sorb Plus. A few other, and very inexpensive litters you can use, are called Woody Pet, Equine Pine or Guardian Horse Bedding Pellets. You cannot find this at your petstore, but rather your feed and garden stores or places like Tractor Supply. You may have to ask if they carry it as it is often stored in he back. Other locations where we know these litters can be purchased are: Glenshaw Feed and Garden Center/Shaler; and Wexford Feed and Grain/Wexford, Near North Park. Many farms use Woody Pet and Guardian Horse Pellets in their horse stalls. Price is around $7 for a 40-lb bag. A real bargain! TOYS! - Yep, rabbits need their own toys, or theyll find something in your house to play with. Rabbits love cardboard. Take your cardboard boxes and cut some holes in them. Rabbits love to run through, hide in, and even sleep inside them. The cardboard from your paper towel rolls are a big hit. Stuff them with some timothy hay and watch them go town.
