She's an older girl, around 7 years old. Truffles is a sweet girl who likes head rubs, cardboard boxes, running around best of all she loves her hus-bun Petey! Both bunnies are quite friendly and will approach to ask for pets and beg for attention. Note: Petey & Truffles are bonded and must be adopted together Minimum housing requirement - double pen or free roam Medical History: Because Truffles is over 5 years old, vets recommend annual bloodwork in addition to annual vaccines. Truffles had her bladder flushed at the vet due to bladder sludge and is now on a low-calcium diet. This means no alfalfa, timothy only (for hay and pellets), and specific low-calcium greens. Our vet has also recommended filtered water only for Truffles. Truffles is also mildly underweight, so she is on unlimited pellets. Truffles also requires her bladder to be expressed 2-3 times a day. Spayed, date unknown 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.
