Plenty of Pets
Lucas is a young rabbit who was found outside, along with his two brothers.
He is sweet natured and cuddly and is good with rabbit-savvy kids.
His hair is quite long and daily brushing is needed to keep it from matting.
Lucas has been neutered and is ready for his new home.
For more information on the adoptable bunnies, visit the 10,000 Carrots Rabbit Rescue website or Facebook page, or email [email protected]
10,000 Carrots Rabbit Rescue is currently fundraising for a utility trailer that can be used to help with rescue and rehoming.
