We got her at 6 months, after she'd recovered from her spay surgery. I know her siblings were adopted out earlier than she was, so it is possible to get young ones. But it is true that there are a lot of older bunnies in rescues. Coco, for example, was a year and half (not that old, but not a baby) when we adopted him. I think if you're set on getting a younger bunny, it just might be about timing. Sooner or later a rescue (unfortunately) will get a pregnant rabbit or a mother and set of babies in.

Unfortuantely for us it begs a question, what if you want a fairly young bunny? Rescue operations often do not have them.
