Hello every bunny and humans too! Hop on in kick back and let me tell you about a house rabbit. I'm a seven-year-old mini-lop rabbit, my color is broken black and I weigh around five pounds. Mr. Peeper's is what the humans named me because I like to get up on my hind legs and peep around at things, and it comes in handy if you want a treat, and I love treats! Well if you know anything about bunnies then you know we love to eat. Food is very important; we need fresh food, water and hay everyday. We can't survive for more than twenty-four hours without water and no more than three days without food. We need fresh hay also, you see we can't get sick at our tummies so we eat roughage like hay to drive fur through our systems.

I have my own litter pan and cage and my very own room, well I call it my room but I let the humans share it with me as long as they give me a treat before they leave. I have chew sticks to chew on and a cardboard box I like to dig in and camp out in. I also like a towel put down so I can scrunch it up. Just like a small child there are certain things that need to be done to protect us when we are roaming the house. By nature we like to chew and test things with our teeth. We also like to dig as we would do in the wild. That's why the humans make sure that I have plenty of playthings to keep me distracted, their pretty smart bunnies! They take care of me and I take care of them by letting them know if there is any danger around. Say if the furniture got moved I let them know by thumping my back legs as hard as I can. Then they come in and tell me it's ok, that's the only time I hear that word. So I know I can calm down now because I have done my job and alerted them to the danger.

Now I'm not much on being picked up I like my four paws on the ground. But you can come down and pet me any time, don't worry when I get tired of being petted I'll just nudge your hand away and I'll be off and hopping. You see us bunny's have certain ways of communicating. When I'm being petted you can hear my teeth grinding, that's a bunny purr for pure contentment. You can always tell when I'm a happy bunny because that's when I like to do leaps in the air and hops and jumps, the humans call it my bunny dance. I can leap straight up and turn in the opposite direction or run as fast as I can from one room to another, that's fun! I also have two playmates to keep me company a golden retriever and a shih-tzu. It's never a dull moment around here! Well if you're thinking about getting a bunny just remember that you're not only getting a soft and furry friend. You're also getting a bunny that will depend on you for his care for the next five to ten years of his life. Without a humans love, care and commitment we cannot survive. So enjoy, love and care for us because we are part of the family now and that's what family is all about!
