Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I adopt from Everybunny Counts?
More bunnies are being surrendered than being adopted out. By adopting a bunny from us, you will be saving TWO lives — the bunny you adopt and the one that takes its place at the rescue!
Not to mention, all our adoptable bunnies are fixed, fully vetted, behaviorally assessed, and potty-trained. In addition, we highly encourage our foster parents and volunteers to socialize with our bunnies, so they are in extremely good care.
Are indoor homes required for bunnies?
Yes, our rabbits require indoor housing. Between parasites, predators, and temperature swings, there are a lot of dangers for bunnies outdoors. Garages are not considered indoor housing unless they are temperature-controlled and have been converted into a living space.
Where do your bunnies come from?
Many of our bunnies were rescued from parks, neighborhoods, by highways, or shopping areas in the central Connecticut area and reported by caring community members to us at Everybunny Counts. Some of our bunnies were born into our care after their pregnant mothers were rescued. Abandoning pets is a crime, but a sadly common phenomenon. Other bunnies are surrendered by owners facing difficult situations.
We have an ongoing list of adorable bunnies up for adoption on Petfinder. In addition, you can follow us on Facebook and Instagram for frequent updates on our current foster bunnies.
How long will it take for bunny to adapt to my home?
Every bunny is different, however it generally takes around 6 months for a bunny to finally feel settled and happy in their new home.
How do I decide which bunny is right for me?
We generally have 10-20 buns in rescue of all different sizes, breeds, and ages. Once your adoption application is approved, we will gladly answer any questions regarding specific bunnies and discuss which bunny would be best for you.
Do you adopt out baby bunnies?
No, we do not adopt out baby bunnies because they are too young to spay/neuter. If you are interested in caring for a baby bunny, please consider applying to become a foster with Everybunny Counts. Many bunnies we rescue are pregnant and give birth to babies while in our care, and these babies need foster placements who can handle the joys — and the messes — associated with baby buns.
Do you have rabbits who are not featured on your site?
Do you offer bunny matchmaking services?
Yes! At Everybunny Counts, we have an Adoption Counselor who can guide you through the process of bunny matchmaking. All bunnies must be spayed/neutered prior to “dating”.
Fill out an adoption application to start looking for a “husbun” or “bunwife” for your single bun!
I got approved! What now?
Congratulations! Once we decide which rabbit(s) you would like to meet, we will arrange an adoption appointment at our facility with an adoption counselor.
Appointments take place on Saturdays and Sundays only. If you fall in love with your bunny, you can sign the adoption contract and take them home that day!
What if I want to return my adopted bunny?
While our adoption fee is non-refundable, we do ask that you surrender the bunny back to Everybunny Counts at no additional cost, so we can continue to find the bunny a new home. We always take back bunnies that’ve once been in our care. PLEASE DO NOT ABANDON YOUR BUNNY.
Due to the high volume of inquiries and applications we receive, we are unable to answer questions regarding care of rabbits, housing, behavior, or specific bunnies until your application has been approved. We invite you to research and explore all of the information available on reputable websites. The House Rabbit Society offers a great deal of information.
