Seattle Animal Shelter Pet of the Week: Wren & Robin

Local News, Pet of the Week

Wren is a young adult female black and brown Netherland Dwarf with velvety soft fur. After being found as a stray near a park in West Seattle she was in foster care and gave birth to four adorable bunnies.

She is now available for adoption with her daughter Robin at the Shelter.

Wren is a very calm and gentle rabbit who will like to lounge with/on you while watching TV. Her temperament seems to be a little shy but she responds wells to fresh treats.

Robin is curious and gentle. They both get along well with people once they get to know you and tolerate petting, handling, and cuddling.

Wren and Robin would love to be part of your family, they’re both looking forward to meeting you and going to a loving forever home!

Wren is being treated for E. Cuniculi by the Shelter and has the occasional awkward movement, but overall is doing just fine. Her daughter Robin shows no signs of the condition.

More About House Rabbits: House rabbits 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 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.

Wren and Robin (SAS ID #31322802 and 31986306) may be found in the Shelter’s Critter Room. Come on by and meet them! The Shelter staff will be able to answer all of your questions about keeping rabbits as pets.
