Fergyl (Bonded with Fiona)

FERGYL AND FIONA ARE A BONDED PAIR AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER! Fergyl (Piglet’s son) Fergyl is truly the happiest bun you will ever encounter! Much loved by his bun mom Fiona, he has no worry in the world and he will make you smile all the time with his youthful energy, playful antics and curiosity! He really is a binky “machine”, starting and ending his day with non stop binkies and zooming through the house with supersonic speed, together with his mom. He LOVES receiving treats and will stand on his hind legs with his little paws against you, eagerly awaiting his oxbow veggie treat. When he gets tired after lots of playing ,exploring and chewing on his toys, he has a hard time keeping his eyes open, so you see him blink his little eyes and lay his head on the floor as he is falling asleep, it’s adorable! His favorite toys include hay mats, cat tunnels, stacking cups which he likes to lift up and put down, and, of course, all kinds of chewing toys. He is a fantastic hay eater, especially orchard grass hay and has great litter box habits. He also loves arugula, kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, mustard greens, banana and oxbow pellets and treats. Fergyl and his mom would do best in a not too hectic home where they will be treated with love and patience to get adjusted to their new environment and where they have lots of opportunity to run around and explore. They will be loving and super fun new members of your family! If you are interested in adopting Fergyl and Fiona, please fill out the application at friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform and someone will call or email you to schedule an interview. Their adoption fee is $150 (for both) plus a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit. Fergyl and Fiona are in foster care in Reston, VA. INDOOR HOMES ONLY! ABOUT FRIENDS OF RABBITS Friends of Rabbits is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue operating in the greater DC-metro area. We take rabbits at risk of euthanasia from shelters in Maryland, DC and Virginia. We also rescue abandoned and neglected rabbits and assist with large confiscation cases. We provide foster homes and veterinary care for our rabbits, have them spayed/neutered and find them new forever homes through our adoption programs. Please note: We are not licensed to handle wildlife. Come Meet Our Pets... We have adoption events multiple times a month. Events take place at headquarters located in Columbia, MD and once a month in Fairfax, VA. We also have regularly scheduled events in local pet stores throughout the metropolitan region. Our Adoption Process... Prior to adoption, we ask that people fill out an application: www.friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform 1. The adopter must be a responsible adult, which is at least 18 years old. If a family adopts the rabbit, the primary caregiver must be an adult or a responsible older teen. Younger children may do the work necessary to care for the rabbit under the daily supervision of an adult. All adults in the family must agree on adopting the rabbit. 2. We do not adopt our rabbits out as classroom pets. Exceptions would be adoption to the teacher who may bring the rabbit into the classroom on a regular basis. 3. Rabbits are social animals. The adopted rabbit(s) must live indoors in an appropriate size space where they will receive daily interaction with the family. The best possible space would be freedom in a rabbit proofed room. If that is not possible, a dog exercise pen with rabbit safe flooring works well. Other options include a large dog crate or a roomy cage. The best cages are at least 42 to 48 inches long by 24 inches wide. The 24 inch width allows for use of the widest and deepest jumbo litter boxes, which work well for most rabbits. A custom space can also be constructed using shelving material. Caged rabbits need daily exercise time outside the cage. 4. If you are renting your home, please have written consent from your landlord before you adopt. 5. For new adopters, we conduct an interview to make sure that the rabbit will be going to a safe environment. 6. When they are ill, rabbits require a veterinarian that specializes in exotic animals. Be aware that exotic veterinarians can be considerably more expensive than one for your cat or dog. Plan vet visits into your budget accordingly. 7. If you are looking to adopt a companion for your existing rabbit, your rabbit must be spayed or neutered prior to any introductions. 8. The final step to the adoption process is filling out a contract, which is specific to Friends of Rabbits. The cost to adopt a rabbit from us is $90 for a single rabbit and $150 for a pair. The adoption fees include a goodie bag with rabbit care information, necessities, toys and a coupon for discounted rabbit supplies, and cover the cost of the rabbit's spay/neuter. As of January 1, 2022, there is also a mandatory $50 RHD vaccine fee per rabbit.
