Post adoption panic: When you and your bun get home…
1) Put carrier on the floor and open the door. The bun will come out when he feels safe (and curious).
2) A litterbox, hay, green veggies, timothy pellets, crock or sipper bottle of water and a designated rabbit area are all she needs for now.
3) There will be something you won’t expect, flow with it.
4) Expect her to do ‘rabbity’ things. Everything she does is connected to survival in the wild.
5) So, don’t take anything personally (remember, this is all new to him).
6) Give him a month to really settle in, feel safe and show his full range of personality.
7) Call for help! RabbitMatch.org is always available if you have a question about your bun.

Bunderful Bun Facts!
Wild Rabbits and the Habits of Rabbits in the Wild
Wild rabbits live in burrows or underground passages which they excavate, by means of their strong hind-feet, in the soil of sandbanks, fields, woods, etc. The animals are sociable, and the burrows belonging to any one community are collectively known as a warren. The passages of the warren communicate with the outside world by means of openings, some of which are in common use, while others seem to be used mainly as "bolt-holes" in cases of sudden alarm. A rabbit which is bolting to its burrow exposes the white underside of its tail, and thus acts as a danger signal and guide to its fellows. When a rabbit is startled, or puzzled by seeing some unusual object, it generally thumps the ground with its long hind-foot; other rabbits in the neighborhood are thereby warned.

--> Nijinsky! <--
How do you spell dapper?? N-I-J-I-N-S-K-Y!! I am one spiffy bun in my black and white tuxedo outfit. I plan to stay on the smallish side and my pal Stravinsky could be my twin. We have just enough dutch genes to be incredibly cute and lovable. Doubles, anyone?? Love, Niji
As of 9/1 I'm 4.11 lbs of cute. I'm already neutered and litterbox trained too. For us to meet, fill out our application at RabbitMatch.org and one of my humans will contact you very soon.
Bunderful Wishes!
Rabbit Match has an awesome website (check us out!). This gift to
Angie's brain is an active one. So she’s heading back to school for an advanced degree along with volunteering her time and talent in support of another very worthwhile cause (more on that later).
We, the buns and volunteers at Rabbit Match, want to thank Angie for her wonderful contribution to us that’s made forever homes a reality for (at current count!) 76 wonderful rabbits! Because Rabbit Match’s website continues, that number will continue to grow.
Thanks, Angie.
And because we’re so proud of our website, we are entering the Web Marketing Association’s WebAward 2008 competition.
“Few Website award programs recognize the individual achievement behind the creation of today's top web sites the way we do at the Web Marketing Association. We believe it is important to recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing some of the most effective and best web sites on the Internet today…
…But more than just an award program that Internet marketing experts use to increase website visibility, the WebAward provides a benchmark by which all Website development can be judged.”

For every rabbit bought from a breeder or pet store, one in a shelter dies.
Give a bun the gift of life. Make adoption your option.
