My sister got me a bunny for my birthday! I'd been looking around for one for a couple months so on Saturday she took me to our local SPCA and I got Roxy. Roxy had been left behind when her owners moved and had been brought in the the SPCA by the landlord. I don't understand how people can be so retarded. According to the girl at the SPCA it happens quite a bit that owners move and leave their animals behind in the apartment or house they had been renting. I don't know how they can think it's so hard to drop the animals off themselves and at least give a little info on them.
Consequently, I don't know Roxy's age or breed. I'm thinking she is some sort of Lop mix judging by the size and shape of her ears -- her right ear always seems to want to flop to the side. If anyone recognizes the breed or if anyone knows how I could possibly judge her age that would be appreciated.
She is such a friendly little bunny -- not afraid of anything, and very curious. I had planned to leave her in her cage the first couple days to let her get settled and get used to her new environment but she wasn't having any of that. She ate continuously for the first 4 hours she was home and then demanded to be let out to explore. My apartment had already been bunny-proofed, so I tied my dog to the couch, so they could both get used to each others presence without having him chase or scare her. The dog had been visiting her and smelling her through the cage all morning and she didn't seem bothered at all by his presence.
She is amazing. She is not afraid of people, I sat on the floor while she explored and she was climbing all over me. She loved to be petted and even flopped over onto her side while I was petting her. I couldn't believe it. She hadn't known me for more than 4 hours and she was already very trusting. I have no idea how anyone could not want this little bunny, she really is perfect.
Anyway, here are some picture of my dear Roxy. Can anyone tell me what color she is? Her head and ears are grayish, but the fur on her body is actually brownish instead of gray -- thought I don't think that comes out in the pictures...
The green comforter she is laying on is my dog's bed, and he was quite horrified when she made herself at home on it
