About Attila The Bun
Requirements:
Experienced owners
Must meet all family members
Kids (any age)
Inside only
Meet Attila the Bun,
Don't let the name fool you, Attila isn't a shrewd military tactician - however he does like to pick fights with his litter tray and on occasion, his bed.
Attila the Bun is suitable for home environments that are on the quieter side, as loud noises tend to startle him. He is also open to meet rabbit savvy kids too, of any age - providing that they are understanding of how special bunnies are. It's important to note that rabbits are often curious & cautious by nature, so Attila is looking for a home with a family who will love him & make him feel like part of the family.
Attila is a typically quiet bun, who allows handling & being picked. He's typically easy to handle, but prefers to be on the ground where he can explore. Just make sure you support his little bottom and be mindful of his hind legs. Attila is an independent bunny and doesn't rely on human interaction to feel safe & content. He's confident in himself & likes to be able to do his own thing.
In terms of housing, Attila the Bun will need a safe & secure hutch. Somewhere out of the sun with plenty of shade. A place that is comfortable & cool for the warmer months, and warm & cozy for the cooler months. A portable hutch that can be taken inside would great too, especially for really hot days or really cold nights as buns are sensitive to changes in weather.
Attila will also need access to fresh clean water & fresh, nutritious food daily. Attila likes to play with toys also. Toys don't have to be expensive, simple cat toys like plastic rattle toys bring Attila a lot of joy! He’ll happily play with them & he likes to throw little plastic rattle barrels around.
Although it is a love/hate relationship between Attila & his litter tray, he is learning how to use it, he shows very promising behaviour in learning to be toilet trained. It's best to show him where the litter tray is when you get home to minimise any accidents. If you'd like to continue to house train him, it would be a wise move having multiple litter trays available for him to choose from.
As we cannot test, we are unsure how Attila would go living with dogs or cats - this would be up to the discretion of his new owners. As rabbits are social creatures, Attila the Bun would do well living with another rabbit, just make sure that they have a slow introduction to ensure that they get along. Attila has met other rabbits whilst in our care and appears to be quite fond of them.

With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as flawless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories. Most left in the shelter by their owners. The information we receive is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks will surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
So please keep in touch with us after adoption so that we can help you settle your new family member in and address any unexpected behaviours.
The adoption fee for dogs covers C3 vaccination, health check, heartworm testing, desexing, micro-chipping, and registration.
The adoption fee for cats covers F3 vaccination, health check, desexing, micro-chipping, and registration.
