I decided for this post to write about a subject near and dear to my heart: my rabbits Tia and Coco. People don't realize how much personality bunnies have, and these two certainly have characters of their own!
Our older bunny, Tia, is a Netherland Dwarf. She is black with a white underbelly and a little white heart surrounding her nose. She is about 6 years old and feisty as anything. She certainly loves her treats, although sometimes she is finicky. I have seen her turn her nose up at the treat and I have had to go to a different one..but she eventually takes it. Tia loves to run around with newspapers on her head. We will see her burrow under a paper and start running around with it. She also has a hamster ball that she will push with her nose. The hamster ball was originally belonged to a hamster named Harvey that we had. When he passed, she kept playing with it. Tia most certainly does not like baths! We will start running water and she will start digging at her cage to try to escape, and when we do catch her she starts grunting...not a happy bunny at all. But she does enjoy having her head patted, to the point that if you stop, she looks at you like, "Hey! I didn't tell you to stop."
Our other rabbit, Coco, is a nice brown color...she looks just like one of those chocolate Easter bunnies. Hence the name! Coco is about 2-3 years old. She is super chill, super mellow. She doesn't scare easily. We will be putting her cage back together and she'll be jumping in and out. She's super curious..whatever we are doing, she has to check out. She sniffs pant legs and anything she's interested in. Her hobbies include destroying boxes ('Destructa bunny'), building nests with blankets, and couch jumping!
Well, this is a very brief review of life with my two bunnies.
