We have known rabbits to die of grief when separated from a beloved companion. Rabbits are very monogamous, and form incredibly strong bonds with their companions. To do so would be as cruel as separating a loving human husband and wife, never to see each other again. If you have more than one rabbit, and they are bonded as a pair, do not separate them.Everyone-relatives, friends, co-workers, parents of the children with whom your children go to school-should be considered a potential source of information about a new home for the bunny. That includes people to whom you may have never mentioned your pet bunny before.
If you truly cannot find it in your heart to keep the rabbit and work out your difficulties, we can offer the following guidelines to help you find a safe home for your rabbit. Placing a rabbit in a good home presents special challenges, since many people see rabbits as food, toys or worse. Therefore, we confine our efforts to rescuing abandoned, abused and neglected rabbits only, since they are in the most imminent danger.Īs you might suspect, it is very difficult to find a reliable home for an unwanted pet of any kind. For every rabbit we would take in from the relative safety of a private home, another would die in a shelter. We do not have the foster space to take them, and it is not our policy to provide an easy solution for this complex and difficult problem. House Rabbit Society's policy is to not accept abandoned pets. Most any rabbit-related problem is not difficult to overcome, with the right approach, and we hope you'll take advantage of our great willingness to make life happy for both you and your bunny. Before you consider permanently giving up your rabbit, please note that our volunteers are trained to help you work through any problem you might be having with him/her, from allergies to litterbox training to destructive behavior, and even to the guilt you feel because you feel she's not getting enough attention.
