Our Rabbits

Niko is one of our "special" bunnies, as we rescued him first hand from a bad situation. You can find out  more by going to the "rescue rabbits" page. Niko is now super happy living  his life with his best friend Benji, Niko sure is shy around humans but nobody blames him. He loves his cardboard space ship just as much as Benji does. We rescued Niko in October of 2020 at a year old along with his brother and assumed he was a foster but 6 months later he turned into a foster fail. 

Jack (short for Jack Frost) was rescued from a shelter at 3 years old in December of 2018. It was a fun rescue as it was really my rabbit agility teacher who told me "Either you are getting him, or I will." and I decided to take him home that day. Since then I've learned how to care for Angora hair as it is MUCH different than a normal rabbit's hair. (I do give credit to my rabbit agility teacher for helping me learn.)  I haven't had the right rabbit to bond him with yet because Jack can be very dominant but I'm hopeful Rose will be a good match.

Oh, sweet Thumper. Words cannot express how much my family and I loved him.  He was quite the special rabbit. He was my first rabbit. Was I too young to take care of this rabbit? Yeah. But I slowly learned. I like to think Thumper was the one to change my life, because he introduced me to my love for rabbits. Thumper did rabbit agility for the last 1 1/2 years of his life and he was bonded to Leo in his later years. He died in my arms in July of 2019.

Cookie was born on the same day as Thumper, but not closely related. Cookie was a bundle of energy as a bunny and as a new rabbit parent I didn't really know how to wear her out. Once she was older I wanted to bond her with Thumper and Leo. The bond was successful, however just within the week I bonded them Thumper passed. In a way, I think that it was supposed to happen. Leo didn't have to grieve the loss of his mate alone. I made the hard decision to let both Cookie and Leo go together in March of 2022. Cookie suffered from arthritis her last 2 years of her life and showed neurological issues that were not curable in her last months. She gave us a wonderful 9 years. 

Leo was my first rescue rabbit. We got a call from someone we knew who said he was roaming around the neighborhood. We chased him and luckily caught him that night. We found out the next day the owners didn't want him anymore because they were having a baby so they just released him. (Know that this is an extremely cruel thing and domesticated rabbits should NEVER be released in the wild.) He has so far been my only rabbit who would kiss on command. He too, was extremely docile and submissive. That's why Thumper and Leo got along so well. In his last months he suffered from paralysis. Throughout all the testing we did to confirm there was nothing else we could do for him Cookie was by his side the entire time.
