With Easter being over, rabbits overpopulate the animal shelters with the risks of being euthanized first. Penelope and Daphne are sweet one-year-old rabbits that are inseparable siblings, meaning that they are a bonded pair that must be adopted together. If you'd like to be Penelope and Daphne's forever home, contact thevbas.org.   Segment Producer:  Dawn Poomee, Associate Producer:  Brittni Brown, Editor:  Hillary Parish

00:00But Elfie and Daphne came in shortly after Easter of last year.

00:18And so our best guess is someone got them for Easter bunnies when they were very, very

00:22little and very, very adorable and just didn't know what to do with them.

00:25And they came to us as very young sisters.

00:28We have an amazing volunteer group here.

00:31And when little bunnies come in, volunteers take them home, raise them until they're old

00:36enough to be spay or neutered, bring them back to the shelter and put them up for adoption.

00:39These two went out to foster, were cared for, handled every day, and basically made and

00:46molded into perfect, handleable bunnies.

00:51Daphne and Penelope have to go together because they've been together their entire lives.

00:54They're very used to each other.

00:56If they are apart, they get very, very stressed.

00:58They get very, very depressed.

00:59They have a lot of emotional things.

01:01And with bunnies, the emotional translates to the physical.

01:04That means they can get sick.

01:05They won't live as long.

01:06You'll have a lot more problems with them separately than you ever do as a pair.

01:10People aren't really sure what goes into adopting two bunnies as opposed to adopting one.

01:15So they're expecting it to be a lot more difficult than it actually really is.

01:19Taking care of two rabbits is not any harder than taking care of one.

01:23Bunnies are actually excellent apartment pets.

01:26They're easy to clean up after.

01:27They're both litter box trained.

01:28They don't need tons of attention all the time.

01:30The two of them, they keep each other busy often enough that you don't have to spend

01:33all your time with them.

01:36They're still very young bunnies.

01:37They're still very energetic.

01:38They have almost a decade left of life that they can live, and I don't want them to spend

01:43it here at the shelter.
