UPDATE: Rhett is now eating pellets in place of Critical Care Herbivore. His new family will need to make sure he gets his back teeth checked regularly but, at this time, he is having no problem eating! Because Rhett is so peaceful with other rabbits, he spends his days on his “introspection mat”, free in the rabbit room. The “Introspection Mat” is sitting by the refrigerator in the rabbit room and Rhett spends most of his day there, eating hay and enjoying an occasional romp around the room, before returning to his mat.

Rhett was surrendered to the Animal Refuge League but we don’t know who the owner was. He, along with several other animals, was brought into our intake room and the owner left before we even knew the animals were there! The vet estimates that Rhett is 3-5 years old. This guy is extremely tolerant of everything in his environment: He has visited the front desk at the ARL on a leash, hanging out under one of the desks. He is not afraid of dogs and gets along with bunnies that do not beat him up! Rhett is considered “Special Needs” because he has malocclusion. This means that his jaw does not line up properly and his new owner will need to work closely with their vet, visiting as often as every six months, to check the back teeth which can’t be seen without the use of a device specially made for that. Rhett will also need to have his diet of hay supplemented with Critical Care which can be purchased through a vet or online, to prevent diarrhea. This beautiful, sweet male lop will do well with gentle children. All he wants is to be near people, getting lots of love, cuddles and attention! Are you the family of Rhett’s dreams? If so, come meet this wonderful guy at the ARL!
