This was posted in the buy/sell/trade, but I'm hoping with the volume of people here, it'll help speed things up. Sorry for the double post.

We've had her for over a year. She is litter trained and likes people.
Easy to maintain, comes with cage, water dispenser, and a months supply of food and shavings.

Things changed at our hogwan and we had to leave earlier than we had planned.

We've been trying to find a good home for her for the last 3 months. We had arrangements for someone to take her for over a month, and she has now fallen off the face of the earth and we are desperate.

We let her roam around when we're at home. She often lays beside you and lets you pet her. I've included a picture of her in her cage. We keep her there at night and while we're at work.

If we are unable to find a home for her by Feb 20th, we're unfortunately going to have to think of more permanent options we were trying, and hoping to avoid.

Here are some pictures of her. She is very adorable and very sweet and we're going to miss her and we really hope we can find her a good home for her.

please email us at [email protected] if you are interested or know someone who is.

Edit

The original person got in contact with us and our bunny now has a good home.

How much?

No money, the only thing we want as payment is a promise you'll take care of her.

Now is that a bargain or what!

I'm coming at the very end of February to live in Seoul for the year, but I'll be rabbit-sitting another expat's bunny for the first two months of my time in Korea. If only the timing were different! I would have cared for your rabbit in a heartbeat.

May I ask what "permanent option" you're seeing to avoid?

I've heard good things about http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/ but I'm sure you're familiar as well. Is it unfeasible to bring Rabbit home with you? Generally if an animal's vaccines and paperwork are sound, the quarantine period is minimal.

If it was unclear about the fate of the un-named rabbit, the OP plans to kill her if nobody steps up to the plate.

I can take her at the start of May if someone can foster her for two months - I'm bunnysitting another pet until then.

Just sayin'.

Has she had all her vaccinations OP?

Icould probably foster her for a couple of months but won't be arriving til the 24th Feb?

Ok, things changed at your hogwan. But you did know that you would leave sooner or later. So sooner or later you would have abandoned your rabbit. I dunno, but I don't understand why so many teachers get an animal in Korea without making a permanent commitment to it.

No, she hasn't had any shots.

We took her off our friend's hands over a year ago while she was still a baby. She wasn't ready to care for a pet and we thought we were gonna be here for quite a long time, so we took her (the bunny) from her (our friend).

We brought her to a few places near us to try to get her shots and spayed, but none of them dealt with bunnies. So eventually we decided as long as she was healthy, we'd be ok.

We're not taking her home because we don't have a "home" as it is right now, and we're going to be all over the place for the next few months until we get another job.

We had someone for over a month who was going to take her, but when it came time to actually deliver her this weekend, this person has seemed to drop off the face of the earth. And now we're really strapped for time and worried she won't get a good home. So we just wanted to stress the urgency of the matter. Putting her down is absolutely the last thing we want to do, we are strongly against it. However, we have to understand if we can't find anybody, it seems to be the only option right now.

I appreciate everybody offering to help. We're definitely going to gather as much information as possible from everyone willing to foster temporarily. But we're still going to do whatever we can to find a permanent home for her in the time we have left.

So if you know anybody who is looking for a litter trained bunny who loves people, please pass them our information. And if you're interested yourself, even better.

Thank again for the people actually taking this seriously, and not just making unnecessary jokes.

So this she's only available to someone in Busan or that area? What about someone in Seoul?

How much does rabbit food cost/month?

What's the lifespan of a rabbit?

lille · Joined: 27 Jan 2009 Location: Seoul

Rabbits can live up to ten years, twelve if they like you.

If you've never lived with a rabbit before, I'm moving to Seoul as well and will be happy to come over and give you a hand in setting up, pass along some resources, teach you how to make your place safe for rabbits, etc.

OP, where are you flying to first when you leave Korea? I would be able to recommend a reputable no-kill rabbit rescue that you could drop Rabbit off to as soon as you arrive wherever you're arriving.

Bringing the rabbit to a shelter wherever you're going could heighten her chances considerably of finding a permanent home, since dealing with expats in Korea means dealing with people who eventually plan to leave.
