Hunny

Two domestic rabbits been sitting in a municipal shelter for months when Animal Control reached out to Our Companions for help. They were found as abandoned strays, but many municipal shelters are not set up to house rabbits. We knew it was urgent to get them both into a better environment for bunnies. When a rabbit room became available, welcomed the two, labeled “24-26785” and “24-21750”, to our Sanctuary in December 2024. We reached out to our community on social media to help us with one of the most important parts – giving them names instead of labels! Thanks to the help of our followers, we named “24-26785” Elvis and “24-21750” Hunny. They were surrendered together but had been kept separated since they were not yet neutered and spayed. We were not sure if they may bond together as a pair and continued to separate them until they could get their alter surgeries. After they had spay and neuter surgeries, we facilitates a few supervised bunny dates with Elvis and Hunny but they didn’t seem to be a good pair together – but seem to love human attention at the least! We will continue to get to know their personalities and see if they can find some bunny friends with us, are happy to stay single buns, or perhaps be adopted to a home with another rabbit to bond with.

Hunny, formerly known as “24-26785”, looks like a Blanc de Hotot rabbit mix. She has the classic dark bands around her eyes but also has some spotting in her white fur coat! Hunny was surrendered with Elvis, and even attempted a few escapes from her habitat to get to Elvis before her spay surgery. After both bunnies had surgeries and recovered, we tried a few bunny dates but Hunny seemed to prefer spending her time alone. We moved her into a room with another shy rabbit named Hoodie, and the two have really been hitting it off! Hunny and Hoodie spent a lot of time kissing through the gates of their habitat areas and would often be found hanging out side by side. After a few weeks of this behavior, we began introducing them without barriers. The two love buns have completely come out of their shells and enjoy lots of daily playdates together! Just like our adoptions, it’s all about the right match!
