Meet Pilot!
Pilot is the cutest lionhead mix rabbit with adorable helicopter ears! This little guy is such a friendly bunny! Pilot doesn’t mind being pet but does not like to be picked up. It’s a little challenging picking him up, but once you have him in your arms he won’t move a lot.
Pilot enjoys green vegetables including lettuce and parsley. He also loves to groom his stuffed animal toy, and play with his ball. Pilot loves his ears pet and usually likes when people sit in his play pen with him. Pilot is a very cute and lovable bunny who would be a good pet for first-time rabbit owners.
House rabbits like Pilot need a large, rabbit-proofed **indoor** area of your home to live in, with covered areas to hide and relax in. Rabbits are intelligent and social animals; they do best with a rabbit companion and need daily interaction with their human friends.
Rabbits should be fed high-quality hay pellets, unlimited hay, and fresh leafy greens (leaf lettuce, carrot tops, parsley, cilantro, and pesticide-free dandelion are good choices). Treats may include small portions of carrot or fruit, such as apple, berries, pear, grape or banana.
Your rabbit will need regular nail trims and vet checks. With proper care and lots of love, rabbits can live to be 10-12 years old. You are expected to make a lifetime commitment to your bunnies, and they should be treated as an integral part of the family. The primary caregiver must be a responsible adult, and young children should always be supervised when interacting with your bunny and instructed on proper approach and handling. Household cats or dogs should, of course, also be carefully supervised at all times and introduced in a calm and quiet manner.
Pilot (SAS ID #15-3665) is being adored in a foster home; he is not at the Shelter. If you’re interested in adopting Pilot, please call the foster care hotline at (206) 684-0685, or emailsasfostercritters@gmail.com.
