Seattle Animal Shelter Pet of the Week: Peaches

Pet of the Week

0  comments

Hi there! I’m Peaches, a bright, young male rabbit. I’m friendly, curious, and would love to be a part of your family. My favorite activities include exploring and climbing on new things.

I love being around people (and playing on them!), but I also like my independence. I’m a speedy boy, so a family with some rabbit experience is preferred. I got along well with a cat and small dog in foster, and I might even like to have a rabbit companion!

More about house rabbits: Your rabbit(s) will need a large, rabbit-proofed, *indoor* area of your home to live in that includes covered areas where they can hide and relax.

They should be fed high-quality hay pellets, unlimited Timothy hay, and fresh leafy greens. (Leaf lettuce, carrot tops, parsley, cilantro, and pesticide-free dandelion greens are good choices.) Occasional treats include small portions of carrot or fruit, such as apple, berries, pear, grape, or banana. Fresh water must be available at all times.

Rabbits are intelligent and social animals; they do best with a rabbit companion, and need daily interaction with their human friends. Your bunny(ies) should be treated as an integral part of the family, and the primary caregiver must be a responsible adult. Children should always be supervised when interacting with your bunny and instructed on proper approach and handling. Household cats or dogs should be carefully supervised at all times.

Your rabbit will need regular brushing, nail trims, and vet checks. Potential adopters are expected to make a lifetime commitment to their adopted bunnies. With proper care and lots of love, rabbits can live to be 10-12 years old.

You may find Peaches (SAS ID #33107190) and a number of other adoptable bunnies in the Shelter’s Critter Room. Come on down and meet them today!
