Two of our rabbits, who are now our longest residents within the rescue service, are so keen to find their loving family that they’ve asked their foster carer to share their story with us.
Mork & Mindy are an excellent bonded Rex pair. The Rex breed, originally bred for fur, is a unique breed due to their velvet-like fur, which is only found in this breed.
Mork tells his story.
My name is Mork. I am a sweet rabbit. I enjoy a wee pat first thing in the morning to say hello. I enjoy hops and skips and putting on a show. When I’m relaxing I roll on my side. I’ll let you know when I want something. I don’t like the hoover much, and I’m terrified of money getting counted (the sound of coins in a pocket, hand or purse). I may be a little shy for a while, but give me a chance as I’m a little more nervous than Mindy.
My favourite pastime? Eating. My favourite foods include: rabbit pellets, kale, banana (a tiny amount as a treat), parsley, broccoli, pear (a tiny amount as a treat), water melon (tiny treat), loads of chunky/rough hay. I’m not that keen on spring greens & spinach, although I will eat it.
Please make sure foxes can’t get us as they are clever, and will find a way!
I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you in my new home
Mindy tells her tale.
My name is Mindy. I am more independent than my brother Mork, and I’m not as nervous as him. I can be quite ruthless when it comes to food – apologies for my rudeness if I accidentally nip you thinking your finger is part of my food. I’ll soon get used to you and learn to tell the difference between my dinner and your attention.
I love to climb stuff and go wandering for a wee while, but once I’ve had my stretch I’ll soon return to base. I take a bit longer to get used to a wee pat from you, but once we know each other this will soon get easier.
I love sorting out all the shredded newspaper in my litter box. I very rarely jump and skip, but who knows maybe I will if I get a nice lawn to play on.
Just like Mork, my favourite pastime is eating, but I’m not as fussy as he is – I will eat anything and everything!
When I want something I’m not slow at letting you know, so don’t be surprised if I get grumpy when my bowl gets empty or want a bit of attention. Keep me accustomed to the good life I’m used to and I’ll play nice 😉
Both Mork & I are fully litter trained, and I am very house proud! I can’t stand a messy area and I make sure he keeps himself tidy too. Give us a litter tray and we’ll make things easy for you.
