Willow came to Rabbit Rescue from a local overfull shelter that needed help after she’d been surrendered by her previous owner. She weighs about five pounds and was born in 2022.
Willow has an insatiable hunger for pellets and runs up to her enclosure walls to greet you with loving honks of excitement when it’s feeding time. She also loves her greens, especially basil, mint and parsley, and endless hay. Blueberries, strawberry, and apple flavoured bunny cookies are her favourite treats. She’ll eat any of them out of your hand and gently grab hand fed pellets. She loves head pats and cheek rubs and will reward you with kisses anywhere she can squeeze them in. If you’re looking for bunny love, look no further than Willow!
Willow likes to spend the day playing with her tunnels, digging through her hay and litter, and resting in her hidey house. She’s a sassy lady who will let you know exactly how she likes her things placed. She’s a pro at tossing around stacking cups and gets even more excited when she finds hidden pellets in them. She’s also a curious girl, hopping on top of her castle to get a better view of her kingdom and subjects. She’s recently been moved to a new space with more frequent contact from her foster parents. She’s thriving with the extra attention and has gotten so comfortable that her latest quirk has been to relax so intensely that she looks like she’s “playing dead” with some epic flops.
She’s done well in a spacious enclosure where she plays with her toys and runs zoomies at night. When she gets free roam time outside of her enclosure, she’s excited to play, sprint around, binky and explore. She can be a little bunstructive as she likes to chew and sniff new things in her surroundings so she needs a space where she can safely do that. Wooden toys and apple wood sticks have been a great distraction and with proper bunproofing, Willow would make a fantastic free roam bunny.
She’s become more comfortable with the household cat whose nose she sniffs at through her enclosure walls. She knows her boundaries and will thump if she ever needs space from the cat. She loves to groom her foster parents and would do ok as a solo bunny or bonded to a laid-back male bun.
If Willow sounds like the bun for you, apply to make her part of your forever family!
