About Oat (OaV-17)
Are you looking for the cutest little floof that has ever floofed?
Well look no further than this adorable baby bunny!
Oat and her 3 siblings Almond, Coconut and Hemp are all ready to go to their new homes and brighten the lives of their new families.
These babies were born in foster care after their mum was rescued from very undesirable circumstances along with 9 other bunnies! Because they were lucky enough to be born in care, these wee ones have never known anything but love, warmth and excellent care - and we want it to stay that way!
Many people still see rabbits as a great pet for kids, and also a low-maintenance animal - but neither of these are really true! Bunnies can definitely be lovely companions for children but they are NOT usually cuddly animals. They are 'prey animals' meaning that in the wild, they are the bottom of the food chain. This means that they are forever on the look out for danger and they are not very comfortable being picked up and held regularly as they feel insecure and vulnerable.
Bunnies can be loving, affectionate, snuggly and playful but they can also be cheeky, moody and independent.
They are NOT suited to living outdoors in a hutch all the time!
Bunnies must live in a space that is long enough for them to make 3 full length large hops.
Just like any animal, they have specific needs in terms of diet and on-going health care.
Also bear in mind that although these babies are delightfully small right now, their mum is a big solidly built girl so they may get quite big. Their mum also happens to be a super affectionate, snuggle-bum bunny so hopefully they will have inherited those traits.
Desexing, microchipping and calici-virus vaccination are included in the adoption price but will need to be done at a later stage so you MUST be willing to transport these babies to a SAFE-affiliated vet clinic at the appropriate time for these procedures to be carried out.
We hope we haven't deterred you from your interest in one (or two!) of these precious babies. We just want what's best for them and for their new families.
Adoption details
Thank you for taking the time to view one of our lovely animals. We love them all and we hope you will too.
If you would like to know more about an animal please call Freedom on 0409 000 259. If it sounds like you and the furry creature are a suitable match then we will pass on the foster carer’s details to you so you can call and make a time to meet them.
Once you have met the animal and wish to go further then we may organise a yard check to ensure that your yard is safe and secure (dogs only). You can then take your new family member home on a 2 week trial and if you decide they are not suitable then you can return them.
If you are not sure how existing animals in your home might be affected, or you want a little extra time to get to know the nature of the animal, we may allow you to foster with a view to adopt.
