My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mordecai came to us from a wildlife rehabilitation center. He was first found wandering down the road like a lost hobobunny. He was turned over to the wildlife center, whose volunteers meant well but weren't equipped to handle a domesticated rabbit, and housed him next to squirrels and other wild animals. However, once we brought him inside with one of our experienced educators, Mordecai has shown himself to be anything but wild, preferring to find new and interesting places to nap, as long as they aren't in his pen. He is very sweet, friendly, and affectionate, and would do best in a home where he has a large area to roam.
