My name is Anthony HOPkins and I am a devilishly handsome red bunny. My color is somewhat rare and rarely seen in shelters so I’m a big deal. I was born on May 11 when my mom was rescued along a road by a wonderful man who stopped her from being attacked. As soon as she was safe in the car she had five of us. Wow! Imagine that. Two of us boys were brought to the shelter and I’m one of them. I’m old enough now to find my forever home. So remember this, roses are red, violets are blue, red headed bunnies are great and so are you (for adopting me!)
Since I’ve been in the shelter I have really appreciated menu for young rabbits: fresh alfalfa hay, Romaine lettuce, and the alfalfa pellets too. I’ll be eating this diet until I am about seven-months-old and then move onto adult food. I am very proud of myself, learning to use my litter box. Pretty soon, I will be almost perfect! I love that I get out of my kennel twice a day for exercise and play with the volunteers.
It is very important to keep healthy and active. The toys here are also great! I throw balls run up and down my cottontail cottage but when I can have all of these in my forever home, and then I’ll be even happier.
