HCB's Pigeon

Pigeon is a beautiful spayed doe available for matching with a family who has gone through our application process and been approved as an HCB home. She will need to stay with us a while longer, as she was very recently spayed, and we want to be certain she has ample time to recuperate and allow time for her hormones to settle down before uprooting her to an entirely new (and more awesome!) life.

Pigeon is meant for a very experienced rabbit-loving family. She has something of a dual-personality and can be incredibly loving and affectionate one minute, and then attempting to lunge or nip the next. We're hoping that having her spayed will allow her to fully embrace her loving, affectionate side and that her more aggressive, self-protective side will be a distant memory, after a month or two pass. An experienced individual or family with older children (12+), who can "read" a rabbit's body language is a must. She sent off so many mixed-signals during the creation of her video, that she had my head spinning. One minute she was accepting head rubs, the next she was trying to knock over my camera in an aggressive manner. I tried to make note of temperament shifts throughout the video.

She was the most cuddly little busy-body as a young doe, until her breeding hormones kicked in. After that, we never knew which side of her we would be greeted by. She was bred several times but had stillborn litters twice, and failed to conceive several times. She finally had a litter with two living kits in January 2024 (along with three stillborn kits) and fostered another baby. She was the most loving and doting mama imaginable and absolutely blossomed as a mother. We tried breeding her once more but she did not conceive, so we decided to retire her and focus on helping her find the softer, loving side of her soul again.

We are located in Oberlin, OH. Please don't be turned off by our seemingly lengthy application and approval process. We do our best to match the right bunny in the right home from the beginning and your willingness to provide the information to do so is why our process works.

Thank you so much for your time!
