In Houston: Sad to have to put our bun buns up for adoption :(

[ebarkley]

Hello,

We are very sad to have to split up our two pet bunnies, but they are starting to viciously fight with each other and because we live in a smaller apartment it is very hard to keep them separated without excluding one. We live in Houston and are looking for a new home for both of the bunnies.[/align]

We got Santana about 14 months ago. My Fiance works at Petco and someone brought her in and put her up for adoption. We took her under our wing and absolutely loved her. She is very shy and does not like much attention. She likes to be left alone for the most part, but will venture around the house on her own. She gets scared easily though. She has not been spayed yet, but is very healthy. We have brought her in for check ups twice within the last year. We unfortunately do not know how old Santana is, as the family just dropped her off and did not provide much information.

About 6 months after we got Santana we took in another bunny, named Pancakes. She is very outgoing and lively. She enjoys being pet and loves attention. Pancakes has been spayed and is also in great health. She is just over one year old. One of Pancake's eyes did not fully develop and so a layer of the eye did not fully pull back. You can only notice this if you look very closely, but because of this it is much more prone to getting hairs and gunk in it. We have not had an issue lately with her, but we do have medicine we can give you that numbs her eye so you can get the gunk out with a Q-tip. It is a very easy process once the eye is numb. The medicine costs $15 a bottle and you only need one drop each time you use it... so you probably would end up buying a bottle a year - maybe even less than that.

The bunnies got along very well in the beginning, but soon began fighting and nearly killing each other. Recently it has gotten much, much worse. They both have cages, so I put Santana in her cage and let Pancakes wander around the apartment freely. Well, for the first time ever they tried biting each other and fighting through the cage. It is not only stressing the bunnies out, but I we are no longer enjoying them like we used to.

Both bunnies are potty and house trained. We are looking for a very good home for them to go to. Currently they are never confined to their cages and are free to roam around their rooms day and night. We have our apartment bunny proof and all cords are hidden. This is the only kind of home we are open to them going to, so if this is not an option for you, please do not contact us. We prefer someone who has owned bunnies in the past and feeds them high quality foods, as we do. We are willing to wait until we find the right person, because we truly love these bunnies so much.

Because Santana is not spayed, we are looking for an adoption fee of $20. We are asking $40 dollars for Pancakes because she is already spayed. The bunnies will include the their cages and all of our bunny supplies (we have two of most things). We are willing to negotiate on the prices, but we are hesitant to label them FREE as we do not want them to just be fed to someone's other pets or be treated badly. Also, we obviously want each bunny to go to a separate home.

Please contact us if you would like us to send you pictures of the bunnies, or with any other questions, or if you are interested in meeting the bunnies! They are so fun, they just don't get along together anymore unfortunately.
