Hi I am in the nyc area and looking to adopt/buy a flemish giant as a house pet. Does anyone have any info or contacts?

thanks, angela
 
Hey Angela!

Could you please put our location in your profile? It will help others when replying to other threads :p.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your bunny experience (if you have any). We would love to hear more about you!

Hi Angie,

I'm in Queens too and have adopted from the ACC Shelter in NYC. They also have one in Brooklyn & Staten Island. However, I haven't seen any flemish anywhere.

Hope you find your bunny.

And Welcome to RO

Thanks jackie..

i checked out ACC website. I didnt think they would have rabbits and I have adopted from them before (a cat). Well they had rabbits and maybe I will go there this week b/c I know they destroy so Id rather adopt from them so at least a rabbit will have a chance.

thanks, ang
 
I got both Thumper and Peaches from the NYC Shelter. They had quite a number of buns both in the shelter and in foster homes.

I first got Thumper...then they helped me pair him up with Peaches. They have just recently bonded after 6 weeks.

If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask in case I may be of assistance.

Have you had bunnies before?
 
I had bunnies and guinea pigs when i was a child. I am in my thirties now.

my husband and i are looking for a rabbit as a pet. we have a big apartment and could probably get two. He is away alot due to military obligations so these babies will keep me company!
 
That is GREAT! I never had bunnies before T&P...just always wanted one. They are the best. Though Thumper is quite the nipper, I love them so much. They do bring me and my boys so much joy.


 
Thumper wasn't...but he wasn't neutered when I brought him home either. I had to take him back for that and boy was he a handful. He still is, but not like before. I did see results immediately after the neuter. He didn't pee/spray as much, though he still did.

He got much better when Peaches came home. I have just resigned myself to the fact that their are times that he will spray so he is not allowed on my couch any more.

Peaches came to me spayed and litterbox trained. She is GREAT. No stray poops and she has never pee'd on anything other than her litterbox. She did, however, throw her litterbox around and made such a mess. So I got her a corner box with a grate on top and never had a problem since.

So, to make this already long story short, it really depends on the bun. I'm sure Cindy will have a number of buns that are already litterbox trained and if not, it takes a little time and patience but it will be worth it in the end.


edited to add: oops, forgot to mention, it took T about 5-6 weeks to be litterbox trained. I must confess, he is not yet perfect and has been with me for over 3 months now.
 
What color Flemish are you looking for? Please PM me and I may have some info for you.
 
It's not adoption, but there's a flemish giant for sale at the pet store in the Palisades mall off of the NYS thruway. He/she has been there for a few months and is now all alone and has little hope of being sold. I believe that it is an agouti colored flemish. We saw him as a baby, but has now definitely grown.
