Critter Details

Meet Elim, Operation Pets Alive’s sweet rabbit! Elim lost his birth certificate, so he’s not quite sure how old he is, but we know he is an adult, and we’re pretty sure he’s young, possibly around 1 to 2 years old. Elim can’t remember his parents, but he thinks he might be an Alaskan or Havana rabbit. Elim is sweet and loves to be pet and held, but occasionally gets scared and a little skittish. Elim likes to eat fruit, especially apples. Elim is free fed Oxford hay and given Oxford adult pellets twice a day, but because he wasn’t originally fed properly, sometimes he doesn’t always eat it. Elim’s diet should primarily be hay. Too much fruit can cause health problems in rabbits.  Elim knows how to use his litter box and spends a majority of his day sitting on it for reasons I haven’t quite figured out. He likes to play with cardboard by ripping it into shreds. Elim is very gentle and sweet and would probably be good with kids as long as they understand how to hold a rabbit properly without scaring them. Elim has also been around both dogs and cats and likes them both. Rabbits need lots of space to run around and should not be left in a cage or outside. Please note that store bought "rabbit" cages are not suitable nor do they give the rabbit enough space to move around in. Elim is an indoor only rabbit. He should have at least an enclosed dog pen of space and enough room to make three full hops. Before he is adopted out, adopter will need to show a photo of set up, and the set up must be already set up in the home. Adopter must also understand rabbit dietary needs and needs to ensure Elim is eating properly.
