Born in shelter care at Lucky Bunny Rabbit Rescue, he's a survivor from a tough beginning. He has been with us since 2020. But despite it all, he's a handsome boy with a gentle nature. Linus takes his time warming up to new friends, preferring a bit of space at first. But once he feels safe, his sweet personality shines through, winning over hearts left and right. With limited eyesight, Linus explores the world cautiously, but he's getting braver every day. Treats are his weakness, especially those tasty snacks and herb mixes from Flopper's Garden. When it's time to relax, Linus loves snuggling up with his favorite plush pals, like his beloved Hop 'n' Flop or his cute little hedgehog. With Linus around, every moment is a cozy adventure waiting to happen! Linus has hereditary glaucoma, which has caused blindness in his left eye, and very limited remaining vision in his right eye. He regularly gets medication in the form of eye drops and lubricants to reduce pressure in his eyes and keeps to a strict schedule. In spite of his limited eye sight, Linus still enjoys exploring his space. He loves to explore under tables, beds, sofas- even if the space is too small for him to comfortably squeeze under. Due to his medical needs, Linus will need someone to bring him to veterinary eye specialists for regular check-ups to monitor his glaucoma. Linus is also very used to his eye drop regimen and will calmly remain still (he also appreciates gentle pets after each drop). Medical History: Hereditary glaucoma, which requires 3 different eye drops to maintain, as well as regular rechecks with VCA Eye Clinic every few months. Neutered 12/4/19 Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by a calicivirus that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. It is not contagious to people or other animals. For the first time, the virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. UPDATE: In May 2021, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has confirmed new cases of RHDV in rabbits in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura County. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit.
