* Athena and Apollo have been adopted together by the most wonderful person! Yippee! *

Athena ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. No owner came forward to claim her (probably because she wasn’t a stray, and is one of the many, many rabbits being dumped by heartless owners) She is the cutest little bun! Such a doll. When a foster home opened up, we were happy to get Athena out of the shelter and straight to the vet for a health check and spay. She did great for surgery, and she healed up perfectly.
About a week after rescuing Athena, we took in another rabbit named Apollo. Apollo had dental surgery to remove his troublesome front teeth, and he recovered wonderfully.
In their foster home, Athena and Apollo were in pens right next to each other with a solid barrier between. The barrier was gradually removed, so they could see/smell each other, and interact between the bars. After a few bonding sessions they’re now happily living together in one big pen, and they’re ready for their forever home together!

Athena and Apollo can both be “spicy” buns. They are friendly with humans, but will also lunge and try to bite if they feel threatened. Not a worry with Apollo as he has no front teeth to cause harm, but Athena can get a nip in. For that reason, they wouldn’t be the best fit for a home with young children. Like most rabbits, they’re not fans of being picked up. Sitting in their pen and letting them come to you for attention is the best way to make friends with these buns.
They love to hop around and chase each other in play. They’re litter trained, though you’ll find a few poops just outside the litter box on occasion. Apollo needs to have his fruit/veggies/treats chopped up into small pieces, but he’s otherwise able to eat pellets and hay without issue. Both buns love Oxbow brand treats and their favourite veggies are romaine lettuce and dandelion.
Athena and Apollo would love a forever home where they have a large living space, lots of time out of their enclosure, and a human who will shower them with attention and treats.

* February 15/25 UPDATE *
Athena and Apollo have been adopted by a wonderful person!
They’ve already made themselves right at home, and they’re zooming and binkying the day away.
Congrats, Athena and Apollo!
