It is HIGHLY recommended that you house your new rabbit indoors. Rabbits are prey animals and San Diego County is home to many predator animals such as hawks, owls, coyotes, raccoons, foxes and bob cats, all of which kill small animals left outside (even rabbits kept in a cage or hutch). Wet or hot weather and parasites such as fleas, flies, and mosquitoes also can be deadly to rabbits. You can easily house your rabbit indoors and make him a part of your family. He will live a much longer and healthier life, and you will enjoy him so much more. Learn more about housing your bunny indoors. Indoor Bunny Housing

Oliver and Kai
Oliver a neutered male and Kai a spayed female are a bonded pair of small rabbits. Both are approximately 2 years old. When they were relinquished to Wee Companions Oliver was very underweight, but since coming to us has gained weight and is now in very good health. They are a little shy at first, but after some kindness and patience they can be very sweet. They would do best in an adult home without cats or dogs. They are very afraid of dogs and will not do well with them.A quiet indoor home with an x-pen is best for them. They love to run around the house and play in a cottontail cottage or any box.Ollie and Kai are very good with the litterbox, but too much noise cause them to be fearful and can be messy.Once in a permanent home they will become more confident and be a part of the family. If you are interested in knowing more about Oliver and Kai, please contact us at weecompanions@aol.com.

Amber
Amber is a beautiful spayed girl approximately 1 year old. She is very sweet and loves to be petted. She is most comfortable in an indoor environment and likes to have plenty room to run, jump and play. She has been around cats and small dogs and doesn't seem to mind them being around. Older children over age 8 may be best... for her, younger children may be ok but with adult supervision. She is very good with her litterbox. While she is content to live on her own, she is very bondable to a neutered male. Amber would do well in an X-pen inside the home. This beautiful, sweet girl needs a "forever" home. She'll do great with an adult family or one with well-behaved children.
She is located at the Mission Gorge Petco store located at 10410 Friars Road, San Diego, CA. If you think she may be right for your family, please come by the store to see her.

Coming Soon
Bunnies who have been adopted.
Dotty
Adopted--Dotty is a spayed female rex rabbit about 2 years old that needs lots of love and attention. She was relinquished to a local Shelter about a year ago. Dotty would be best suited to a home that can provide lots of “mental stimulation”. She is a very curious girl with lots of personality and if ignored, can become quite destructive. She loves to interact with people as well as to play and run, so she will need to have plenty of space. The ideal home would be indoors in an X-pen with lots of toys and because she loves to jump, may need a lid. When she comes out to play Dotty would love to have a Cottontail Cottage along with things to jump and chew on. She is very good with her litterbox. Dotty would not be the best choice for a first time rabbit owner, but would be a great addition to a home with other rabbits and maybe a companion to a bunny boy. Dotty is good with small dogs and children.
